I was driving through Salem, Ohio to pick my wife up, visiting her grandmoterh in the hospital and I spotted a RED GY-5 going down the street with a cooler on the rack. Starting to see more and more around here every day. Was it any of you guys?

Also...how the heck do you post a picture on this website? I'm having no luck at all! I wanted to post a photo of my DB-05 with metal rack I made to improve the plastic factory rack.

You can ask open a gallery account too. I have not seen another china bike on the road yet.

The allyoucanupload site works very well and is simple to use too.

I seldomly see any DS's let alone a china bike. Lots of china scooters though.

They're all "in bed together" just like chevy/gmc, ford/mazda/lincoln, honda/acura, kawasaki/suzuki... well you know what I mean.

All of the japanese/korean cars look alike to me too.

The china scooters usually have some wild colors.

Those golden tubes and the big "5" on the headlight cover gave it away instantly.

I have two WILDFIRE dealers within 10 miles of my house and I live in the boonies. The WILDFIRE distributor is less than 50 miles away. I stopped by one of the home dealers friday and he had one of the Lifan 250 street bikes branded with the WILDFIRE name. He said he got it when he first got started and he selling it USED w/ 500 miles on it. He did say if I wanted a new one he's ave to order it from Lifan now. It looks like a fairly well made bike, but his USED price was too close to what I see advertised as NEW. He wanted $2000 for it. He didn't have any dual sport bikes or dirt bikes in stock at all, just scooter and 4 wheelers.
