Hi, great forum! Recently bought a Gio mini beast 110cc for my son and have been getting great advice from Weldngrind, TurboT and yozalo. Any tips on using the search to look at archived tech issues for Gio. Hard to narow things down. Thanks all.

I feel like I know you already, but here's your official welcome!

I don't actually search the archives much, all I do is check "View posts since last visit." If you bring up a topic that has been previously posted, someone will point you in the right direction.

Cheers!

Ditto welcome and we almost have enough members for a BC ChinaRiders show and shine.

Or at least an awesome ride someday. My vote is for Nickelmine.

Quads? Immediately. Bikes? Need to put mine together first. :oops:

Are you planning to buy a quad TurboT?

If you need an extra set of hands I can come twist wrench on your Honda, I can belittle myself for an afternoon working on that stuff.

Might need you to hold the vacuum while I pilot the tap on the YZ.

No real plans on a Quad my size at the moment. I was washing and looking over my mini beast today and my neighbour came over and wants to buy one so might be hitting the auction site for yet another. At this rate, I should open a dealer account.

I'm sure the yz will go where the quads go, so I don't mind if you're on a quad. As much as I'd like a bigger sized unit, I don't know where I'd store it down here. Hell I'd even switch up with you and let you have a go at the yz, if you promise to fix what you break.

If you had bought a Honda, you wouldn't be trying to tap new threads.

Your bike is more than capable, it's just the like-machine riding experience that I'm referencing, much like our earlier comments to eflyersteve. BTW, I can crash a YZ with as much style as the next guy.

Two things, and then we need to stop crashing crhunter's intro. Do you need shop time to fix your bike? If so, I'm off all next week. Also, if you bought a quad, could you store it at your parents?

TurboT · 08-08-2009, 04:12 AM

Seems everyone I let try my bike lays it down, which is something I've yet to accomplish. Matter of time I'm sure.

Storing a larger quad at my parents is possible however it would be a tight fit in their garage as well, due to my dad having two large toolboxes and a bunch of other things plus his car in there. I'd be more inclined to leave it up in pemberton with a plow (which would be fun!) but then it's not here, it's there... much like my bike at the moment. (Surronded by forest fires I might add) I'd also have to come up with the cashola for a larger one and then convince the wife we'd just have to have one.

As for shop time, perhaps. I might have to go get the thing out of the smoke filled valley. The house is being used as an emergency shelter at the moment, and I'm not happy with strangers surrounding my unlocked, unchained, no key needed baby. It's due for that oil change and a chain adjustment so it might be fun. I'd just need to find time to get up there and get it.
