You might want to consider beginning with a thread titled “Dongfang RTC 250 Sport Bike“
Take a picture of the engine stamp and the carburetor as well, the gauges etc.
Maybe a video of it running posted on You Tube?
You can also add tags for html when you create a thread, then others can find it not only on the website but on the search engines as well.
It is a decent looking bike, let people know how it holds up for you over time. My suggestion would be periodic posting (updates) with each 500km or so.
I am sure others are looking at the bike and also looking for real people that own one.
yea I would like to do that and create a long forum as barone did about the rtb to be able to discuss with all other rtc owners, in college now doing finals so in whatever free time I have I will make sure to make a post about this bike
You can add as many as five html tags, that is how the search engines perform searchs, they do it on key words. The html tags take precedence, for example: Dongfang,SX-R,250,DF250RTC,review. That would drive people that are interested to your thread.
yea will do that, will be a nice long thread with many descriptions and many photos, only thing I dont like is that I cannot add any photos with my posts using the insert image button due to they are too large, but photobucket is no problem for me
You may want to resize your images that you post as well, photo bucket has that feature. 640*400 fits nice into threads.
large images bad?
I see a scroll bar on the images you posted, they are 1,023px × 574px, what is good about Photobucket the pro version which only cost like 29.00 a year, you can re-size without loosing clarity. You may be able to re-size with the free version…I cannot remember I upgraded last year.

alright well in a few days you can expect to see a thread come up from me withh all of this, thanx for the help buddy :)
See I like the look of that Bike all the DF bikes are nice looking machines. Good luck with it and look forward to see how this thread develops

Great looking bike, by the way. Looking forward to seeing her in the wild, and reading how she treats you (and other buyers).
cheers!
And if some smart-ass comes up, sees the SX-R and asks, "Is that some kinda Gixxer?", you can say, "No, it's SeXieR than a Gixxer."
:jerkoff:
hahahah bro too funny, nice meeting you, I never even know what to say to most people when they ask what type of bike it is, I say it is a dongfang and they just give me the wildest stare so I just stop answering their questions lol, but I am going to just start a new thread, it will be a lot clearer and nicer, thanks for the info though!
Oh, and I can only imagine how folks are going to try to pronounce Dongfang. Here's what you say: "It's pronounced dohng-fahng, you dumbass. It's Chinese, and it means 'the east'. You know, China, a big country where they speak Chinese. And here's how you write it. 东方 if you are in mainland China or 東方 in Taiwan and Hong Kong." And write it down for them.
Then side-stand up, clutch out and roll.
cheers
Lmaoo, and keep on rolling until a 600 or 1000 pulls up to me, then just try and completely ignore them
style always trumps speed.

you could have 东方 decals made and put one on it, or on the back of your helmet?
lol not sure too many floridians would understand it but that would be sick, since my helmet is white i could probably have a friend that draws put something artistic on itQuote:

Then when asked; what does it say you reply Zhǐshì dōngfāng...just dongfang.
or you could have Zhǐshì yīgè dōngfāng
只是一个东方 just a dongfang or 廉价的东方 which is pronounced as Liánjià de dōngfāng as in "cheap oriental"
What is Zhishi?Quote:

oh wait, no its not.. i was thinking of 这
you could have
这是很好
this is very good.
or
这是不好
this is not good
or even
你知道你要它
you know you want it
（possibly wrong as i had to use google translate for the work "'it' as i dont know how to say it)
We should launch a new thread called "Mangled motorcycle Mandarin for foreigners"!
all it is is chinese heiroglyphics to me, wish I could understand it though, easy to learn?Quote:
