Desert rats?

[culcune]

Like Frostbite said with his, there were a few days of big vibrations. I attributed it to it being a Lifan motor (the LIfan, according to the press releases, was just upgraded this year to account for the vibrations, if I remember correctly).

I was just riding, and the thing would not "catch" gear anymore. I rolled to a stop, and no more shifting! My bike, had, once again, managed to strand me, and the engine only had about 200 kms (the oil was changed before the first ride).

I am giving up on this bike as it has managed to eat through 2 engines, somehow. I am trading it on parts and labor for a fuel pump/installation into my Buick which will be my primary mode of transportation until the next bike sometime in January or February. (Qlink XF200?!)

I tried, with no success, to get approved on a new UM SMF-200 enduro, but that was through my own bank, and my credit wasn't as bad as I had thought, so maybe there is some hope for one of those through a finance company.
