My exwife once, while trying to hurt my feelings said, "You're not as smart as House."

I said maybe not, but at least I'm real.

I used to be much more irritable and arrogant, but God and I have been working on that and I'm much better now.

Does he still, I don't remember seeing him ride since he was in the bike accident?

Good show though.

Was there something wrong with the 200cc engine (I probably missed the post if you already mentioned it)?

8O That is the coolest thing I've seen done to one of these bikes!

Like dropping a 383 into a Vega but more unique!

Ive never heard of a failure, but none of us have tried what WA is attempting. This could be like Janet Jackson's wardrobe failure in the Superbowl a few years ago. Too much power for the equipment.

I remember one person getting a new frame on a Lifan under warranty for a frame failure. Not for sure exactly where the crack occured.

The street bikes seem to be more prone.

My swingarm mounts on the frame wore after 10K miles. I don't know if the GY5 had been improved in that area.

I would build a frame cradle to tie it all together. Otherwise I don't really see anything else, but to check all the welds good.
