Greetings from NC

Hey all. Not ashamed to admit I got bit by the dual sport bug over the winter. The cost of the Jap bikes was killing me.... So I started lurking here. Being a mechanic on anything that S S BB for 20+ years, I went ahead and ordered a Bashan storm 250. It's not here yet, but I'll post pictures as soon as it arrives. Can't get my big bike down to some of these fishing holes, now i got me an " ancient Chinese secret!"

Bonus points if you know where that came from!

im right outside fayetteville.. near ft bragg. Im getting giddy waiting for this thing. I paid the extra cash for fully assembled, delivered. we will see how that goes! Im going to tell them make sure that once its vertical, check the valves and put some rotella 15/40 in it. I bought a case of amsoil ( im a dealer, lol its like $90 /case for me..) to do both my bikes!!

[BlackBike]

Extra cash...Good luck with that, I trust these dealers as about as much as that car about to pull out in front of me. Eternal pessimist.

man i hear ya.... fayetteville is notorious for its lousy drivers.. i swear these young military guys are the worst drivers i have ever seen.

I ordered mine, prepped delivered to my door, not terminal pickup, for 1600. The company was superior power sports. I didnt see many, or any bad comments about them, they assured me i wont have issues with titling it, etc. customer service was fantastic. I just missed the last black one by like 2 hours. I settled for red ( kinda growing on me.... not to mention, if i dont order a second set of plastics, theres always krylon fusion!!!!
