Dang I sent the check Saturday and talked to vbike today and he still hasn't received it yet.Dang postal service

rich_e · 02-27-2008, 08:49 PM

That blows. You'll have to wait another week at least before the bike gets to you. Or you could jump in the truck and drive down there and get it if he gets your check by the weekend. It's only a 12 hour round trip

. Plus you'll save $100 off the price if you pick it up.

kczukiman · 02-27-2008, 09:25 PM

If I wasn't so busy this weekend I would be tempted to lol.I just dont understand whats up with the mail.Ok city isn't that far.he should have had the check by Tuesday.
Oh well,antisapation is half the fun.I will just enjoy seeing if others in this forum that have their bikes on order receive theirs by the weekend.
I have my tools and oil,and locktite ready.
oh and my motorcycle jack and the harbor freight roller tool chair.Battery charger,Gasoline extra cotter pins.

rich_e · 02-27-2008, 09:40 PM

Glad you're not too disappointed. That check should have got there in two days at the most. I'll bet he'll get it tomorrow.

silverman1 · 02-28-2008, 10:00 PM

Just wondering how much you paid for the bike total. that would include shipping and all.

Does anyone know about parts availability also, a 250 would haul my big butt around better also. Im 6' and 250lb give or take, well give a pound or 2 right now, got the winter insulation on right now, well thats my excuse anywho

kczukiman · 02-28-2008, 10:17 PM

I paid 1100.This is my third purchase from vbike and no complaints at all.He also stocks parts for all his machines.We are the same size guy's and that was a big reason I went with the 250cc.

kczukiman · 03-01-2008, 02:10 PM

man 67 degrees out today and sunny.Man I wish my bike was here

rich_e · 03-01-2008, 02:55 PM

22MPH winds here in Eastern Kansas . Probably headed your way too!

I'm just in messing around in the garage today. Trying to make one good Kawasaki KDX 200 out of three. There are all 1990s and are pretty well beat up.

I did go out for a ride on my Shineray yesterday. It was pretty nice.

Savage · 03-01-2008, 03:11 PM

I took mine out to the trails here in Manhattan and it was a mudbog. Went into the trails and felt it super slimy and tacky immediately but couldn't turn around - had to keep going for awhile to loop back around. It was like I was riding on 2 big old gumball tires.

The chain pulled LOTS of mud into the front sprocket cover for lots of resistance.

Just got done cleaning it all up nice and purty.

Finally felt like bringing the nitro R/C's out after the long winter too. Felt good to get them out and burn some nitro!

zundapp2 · 03-01-2008, 03:38 PM

Kczukiman,

You won't need your battery charger. The Hi-Bird comes with a gel battery which will most likely be fully charged when you receive the bike.

kczukiman · 03-01-2008, 05:25 PM

Yea its windy all right geesh I keep watching that giant pin oak in the yard and pray it doesn't fall on the house.
I fly r/c airplanes too windy for that.
Thanks zundapp I forgot that those had gel batteries.

silverman1 · 03-01-2008, 10:15 PM

I got over 20 nitro rd cars and monster trucks I am trying to sell a few to fund this motorcycle project, many are still new and never run. I have touring sedans, buggies, monsters, 1/8 and 1/10 scale, 1 1/16 nitro truggy. I was gonna try flying planes rc planes that is but some guy used scare tatics on me and I sold them before ever flying them!!

Try electric planes much cheaper. More places to fly.

kczukiman · 03-05-2008, 12:51 PM

Well Tim called today the bike ships.I should have it Monday unless he decides to ship it next day air :P So it looks like another long empty weekend. I guess I'll change oil in the atv's get them ready for the summer.

I guess he had to wait for the check to clear :oops: I want to read about the comparison between your bike and driller's GY-5. Photos, too...
