maddogmiked · 03-08-2007, 04:18 PM

well, it's official- I will be a Lifan owner in 3-5 business days!!! I have been checking these bikes out for a couple years now, but when I saw the tms200gy-5 I had to buy!!! My buddy just got his and we are both impressed (for the price) with these machines!!! I have also been lurking on this board for awhile and I will be printing "the list" prior to my assembly!!! i just wanted to take a minute and say "hi" and and to say "thank you" for getting that information out to us newbies!!! thanks!!!!

Welcome Maddog.

Glad to have you join up here! This board makes the decision making a bit easier once you go through all the stuff to look out for. I am sure you will like the GY-5 bike when it arrives. Just make sure you get all the things done in the prep pages before you start rolling the rubber.

If you run into any problems, just ask and someone here will help. Take pics and post when you get it ready.

BTW, have you guys put the snow shovel up yet?

Welcome MDM

hey man, good to have another newbie around ;-) expect a van to show up to your house and 3 very burly men to hop out and paddle you senseless

j/k

ask all the questions you'd like, but nothing about the meaning of life.. that question is so obviously simple.. to eat, drink and ride china bikes!
