Hi Folks,
I am Randy.
Age 44 from southeast Michigan.
I have a China 200cc enduro on order and will post my progress.
I have had 2 other bikes 1 very cool 1969 Triumph Tiger 100 (500cc Right side shifter and little pointer on the gearcase). You know who you are out there).
Bought it as a basket case when I was 15 and actually got it running and
rideable. Had to sell it believe it or not because of a grumpy neighbour where I used to live. Seems there was some fine print in the lease about motorcycles and undesirables. Darn it! My other one was a well worn
1983 Yamaha XT-500 which may well have been the heaviest and largest beast to ever prowl the trails of northern MI. It died of old age last year.
Thanks to all you guys because I am realizing that after you buy one of the China dual sport 200's your pretty much on your own as far as the seller is concerned. But I have noticed hardly anyone here buys them as a first bike so they canâ€™t be all bad. And this boy has plenty of practice working on thumpers after nursing 13 years out of a used 10 year old bike.
