Forum conversion coming

[quadz]

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that we will be converting the forum to the popular vBulletin brand of forum software sometime within the next 24 hours.

Nothing will be lost, except maybe avatars (not sure yet) or signature pictures. Members, posts, and private messages will be safe. However you won't be able to access the forum for probably close to an hour sometime in the early morning hours of May 9th.

This new software will bring forth a lot of new features for you, the members, while also increasing security to help prevent spam even further. I think you'll all absolutely love it, but any change, no matter how beneficial it is, can sometimes be hard to adjust to. Please just give it some time and I promise you'll learn to love it if you didn't right away.

So stay tuned for a New & Improved ChinaRiders coming very soon! :D

Thanks!

-Mike

This is my first post on the new forum. vBulletin doesn't like my old avatar, but that's no big deal.

Everything looks great, Mike. Welcome aboard, Skipper! I eagerly await the arrival of the new emoticons! I love emoticons, and I hope we have a good supply of them.

Yes I agree, but it's nearly impossible to find large, high-quality 'action' shots of any Chinese bikes/ATVs. lol That's why I had to use other brands. :D

i've got some action shots, not sure if they are high enough quality

You are welcome to use any of my photos for the site if they would work ;) Maybe start an action shot request thread?

[Weldangrind]

I can't believe that you rode a China bike like that! I'm amazed that the rear link survived.

[SpudRider]

I'm amazed you could safely land with your Lifan suspension after catching that much air! Those are great action photos.

Spud :)

At least he removed the crate before attempting big air.

[Wild_Alaskan]

haha the rear link didn't survive it was totaled after 1000 miles, I changed to a KTM PDS type setup then I bent the stock swing arm jumping it, followed by the swing arm bolt, then the rear wheel bolt for a second time lol. It was a little tweaked when I retired it but still running.

The crate had a tendency to free itself from the 10 or so ziptyes holding it down. ;)
