No humor at Chinariders!

Bruce of EJ Cycles is one of the better tech savvy motorcycle dealers/mechanics. He started with me when I was interested in becoming a Redcat dealer on the dealer thread at Redcat a few years back.

Mike started the LF200GY group, and I started the Jetmotogroup. 'Frostbite' then got the idea to branch off and start Chinariders, which was a very cool and efficient way to correspond over the crappy Yahoo groups that we had started. Bruce was, and has remained with us all the way.

Mike got pissed recently and pulled the plug on his Lifan group, and I keep Jetmotogroup for no good reason, other than I don't have to do anything with it, and it was a good way to direct people to Chinariders, and now here.

Well, the other day, a new member asked about a US importer called Wildfire. I remember them from a few years back, and from what I can tell, they rebrand Hi-bird products. They are based out of Ohio, which happens to be the same state that Bruce is in. He has met and seen customers who have bought Wildfire bikes and brought them into him, and thinks the bikes are lower quality than the main brand he carries, American Lifan. The thing is, if Bruce thinks something is s#@tty, he will let you know. I have never seen him direct anything negative toward a member who happened to ask a "what do you think of this company" but he will let you know if he thinks a company is sh*t or not. He responded to the member something along the lines of "lmao...blah, blah, blah"--not at the member, but the bike's brand.

Well, a few other newbies took offense at Bruce for some unknown reason, and I (usually always) give Bruce a hard time, especially when I think that members who respond to him negatively are gerally dipsh*ts for questioning this guy, rather than appreciating him for being a fu**ing genius when it comes to Chinese bikes, and a dealer/mechanic who hands out advice for free. Yes, several members have bought product from him, such as sprockets and such, but some others, who are probably messed up on drugs or drink, distorted this guy's intention. "lmao...." didn't mean "you're a nimrod" but rather--stay away!

Well, in some members giving him a real hard time, he felt he had to respond, and explain himself. He went so far as to mention that he will probably get banned, and I think he was serious. Me being the wiseass just couldn't resist the humorous opportunity, and stated "I hope you get banned" and put a bunch of the "LOL" symbols :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Well next thing I know, people said I was being hard on him, and then one of the Native American (no he's not really Native American, but the name I give him fits this)moderators "IronFist up his ass" (okay, just IronFist) starts chiding me publicly, and pm'ing me about how I had gone too far.

I then pm'ed him back with just "get over it" and he pm'ed me back with "nice tone" or some other bullsh*t like that. Yes I was serious, but not in a mean way, but maybe I should have said "just get over it"

I am not saying that was the last straw, and I disavow everything about www.chinariders.net, but come on! For a few weeks not too long ago, we had the back and forth between two members, and the subsequent banning of them, and then some moderators were chosen, and then now we can't have witty banter back and forth! WTF!!

I am sorry for the rant and rave, and no, I don't think my opinion is the only one that matters, and I do not suggest everyone quit there, but just be warned--the humor is slowly being taken away, and every f&*king thing that you say is being scrutinized--so just be forewarned!!!!!

And, after printing this, I do think it's all kind of funny...
:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::bigg rin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:: biggrin::stupid:

I don't know what to say really, but maybe this post would be more usefull in the CR suggestion box? Or maybe you posted it there too? I'm not trying to stir things up about this being posted here either, just nicer to see this place discussing the bikes and industry and stuff, rather then "competition".

You really do want me to get banned there!! :clap::clap:

No, there is nothing to say--I got it off my chest, more as therapy, I am not going to quit there (unless I get banned :cursing:) but like I stated, it's all kind of funny because it happened to someone else :biggrin: ...oh, wait, it didn't, it happened to me (but it's still friggin funny!!)

Oh Culcune,
you really do need to get a bike dont you ? :biggrin:
If it was my choice I would ban you too from China Riders :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::bigg rin::biggrin: You and Bruce actually ? I would ban me too but I arleady got banned from there ?
Your nothing but trouble wherever you go , so get used to the rhetoric from everyone everywhere , especially there and especially from me Brother . :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::bigg rin:

Explain this to me Cuclune, but why would someone sudgest this threade you started to warn people of China Riders arrogants lately be posted somewhere else besides the FORUM for non-sense and inaapprpriote but unoffensive threades ? Only a mole would do that , the little brown ones that live in the ground , stirring up crap above ground . JMHO

Cheers, Culcune, I love you anyway Brother , now go get a bike ! :thumbup:

I'm not Culcune, but I can answer this... I suggested that he post it on China Riders so that they can work on resolving the situation... I suggested it be posted there rather then on a competing website because this site is young and I don't think it's a great idea to trash talk other sites involved in the industry.

Before this goes too far--I will remain on Chinariders, and I have nothing but good times there, other than this last bit of nonsense (IMO, nonsense). I got over it, and I urge others to visit there--just be careful what you say!!

I find it hard to believe that you ever felt insecure on china riders.... Bruce always has given you grief and you always stood up to it.. Without a hint of fear or repercussion.. Y'all just need to really saddle up and get over the ins an outs of posting in forums and internet politics.. You always have alot to contribute and people listen to what you have to say because you research things and dont just spout bs. Relax Culcune.. we still love ya... and I enjoy what you have to say here as well.

I hope Chinariders is not seen as competition. Frostbite (with others?) has been amongst the first to setup a forum dedicated to Chinese bikes and he should be thanks for this initiative. The more we'll have such forums the more people will get interested by Chinese bikes and will find support and advices.

Just my $0.02

I agree 100%, I was just trying to say a site with the same subject matter... It's best if both sites can co-exist, and be prosperous.

I spoke with Bruce today, and he told me that if he ever sees me in person, I better run cause he's got a bullet with my name on it! (Or that might have been my wife's ex-boyfriend).

No, Bruce and I were laughing over this bit of foolishness today on the phone, and he knew where I was coming from--there are a few who have been getting to him, though (no, not you 'Snortin'), lately.

Like I said--Chinariders evolved from the LF200GY Group (and maybe Jetmotogroup), and took the Chinese bike world by storm. I urge others to go there, too--there are quite a few knowledgeable people there who know their stuff mechanically (not me :blink:), and others who can guide you in the right direction (I am in that group), and some that know both (i.e., Bruce).

Chinariders has it's place and some good people on there. If people enjoy the atmosphere there then great, if not they at least have another option.

Different strokes for different folks.

Also, I'm itching to get some wrenching talk going on here but think we may get more once the current generation of bikes propogates itself more into the public. Maybe it's a good thing because it means all of our C-Motos work.

Ain't nothin' left but the ridin'!

Geez, I will start some wrencn talk if you guys want. Not sure if you wanted to do it or not.

I Have an oil cooler I am going to be installing on Culcunes old Lifan motor. Yhe motor doesnt have a home yet, but the write up will be good.

I also drew out on Cad-Cam some easy to weld brackets that will allow you to carry two ammo racks, one on each side, as well as a 1.5 gallon fuel can on top.

Can throw the build up pictures as well as plans for the China Hauler up. Revised it to drop about 60lbs more without affecting the sterength. Coolest bike hauler ever. I get more comments on it. Even the guy at Nothland Motorsports Wanted me to build a few for him to sell. But the cost of a manufactures liscence in AZ is rediculoous. Got the LLC. already so I have my butt covered for liability. Pictures are in my gallery or by clicking below.....

Tried the Clarke tank, but as you can tell, I am going to the rack with mini-jerries, as I found it more of a PITA than hauling a gallon or so of fuel. Can do the write up on that too.

As for CR, just got to be too much for me. It is good when you start with moderators so you can keep it under controll from the get go. It got real harry-karry there, and I was not impressed. So away I went on my own behalf.

Culcune I hope you know that I followed you over here like a lost puppy dog, and am glad I did, I still go there,but mostly I come here because of this :gun_bandana:Culcune:riding:

Hey, at least you have a bike, Rizn!! I have guns, though, so I could post some more videos on youtube (no, not shooting at your name :lol8: but attempting to "bump" fire)

:lol8::lol8::lol8::lol8: Rizn:goodtime:Culcune I want to see, where is it at on utube

ME TOO!! ME TOO!! I have a thing about posting personally on com-u tube.

Seems the left coast kids dont like to see a .50 cal blow up watermelons, but jonny jerkoffs high score on "master baiter, fishing for the mother load".

you two need to bring it on!!

Anyone see the post I left with the picture of the cow Elk? Crazy cow has been walking around everyday in our yard. So I have been snapping off my starter pistol to get use to the sound. My Wife drew for Cow Elk in Unit 10 for the Dec. Hunt, and we live in Unit 10!! We are now feeding her Cow Alfalfa to keep her around. Little does she know, I dont want her in my yard, but rather in my freezer!!

Got Elk!?!? Elk, the other red meat!! Should trap it for Culcune, and let him ride it around. It was probably be more dependable than his old :scooter: Jet-moto.

I wouldn't let him ride your Elk Semper-Fi , he'd surely break that too !
Then he'd whine for months to us trying to get God to send him one for free as a promotional venture for Gods company as advertizing stimulus package or something even more bizzare than that I am sure he'd dream up for God Almighty himself .
A Pony is more Cuclunes style anyway :lol8:
It would be hard to break for him and is a multi purpose animal he can use in his Porno bussiness in LA where he goes to escape from Yuma-snow-bird-ites .
I realize your offer is generous to offer him your elk , but we may even want to consider a Rocking Horse instead of live Pony actually ??? At least it has no moving parts and he can probably figure out how to fix that if it breaks when he tries to feed it apples . I hope he can actually figure out apples go in the mouth not the .......
Maybe that's too complicated an animal too for him ??? :lol8:
Rocking Horse it is , with Motard graphics so to confuse him enough to think he actually owns an Iron Horse finally ????? It may just work !!! :lol8:

Oh by the way , if you need somewhere to send your excess Jerkey meat from Culcunes Elk, I am always game for 40 or 50 pounds of Charity meat...

Cheerios and Culcunes to you all , Snortin Norton out

Okay, I like to eat elk--very very tasty.

youtube--put in culcun without the 'e' and 'good day for the AK' should be the first choice; that's mine and me.

cows--I like burgers like the next guy

porno-I was young and single--no porno shoots planned, 'snortin' despite the cool camera and being in the L.A. area right now. If I need a male actor for my cherry pie shoot, you will be the first choice, Okay?

Ha ha ha ,
Just tell me when the rehersal is , I will be there Cuclune ! :thumbsup:
You must be looking for "Small" and mean actors ? LOL !!!!

Later , Snortin Norton

PS.... I am buuilding you a Rocking Horse right now as I type this , ok , hold on we'll get you on a horse yet Cuclune . I am putting roller skate wheels on it for ya so it feels like for real Horsey for ya, okeedokeee Pardner .... Yippi Yi Ya , yo harrah for Culune-a-fish today !!!! :lol8:

Cheers Bro, enjoy LA, you'd be the only one that would ....

I just watched your U-Tube Ak video Culcune-a-fish ( and many others ) .
If you all noticed the gun range was empty ? :confused1:
Nice looking range by the way . :icon10:
But , I am wondering if they knew you were comming , and left the area ? Or , they all left when you got there ? :gun_bandana:
I also noticed you looked down to see if the gun was jammed or if you actaully shot 30 rounds that fast , ha ha ha LOL ! :lol8:
Bummer Kalashnikov didn't design the gun with a last shot bolt hold open , but what the hell huh ?
It is no wonder you don't have the money for a new Pony when you go through ammo so fast my man :thumbsup:
I wanna see you film the new Pony with you on it shooting your AK , okeedokee :thumbsup:
Good thing your shooting crappy Chinese brass out of that AK ( laquered steel actually ) or you'd never get a bike shooting good ammo like Hornady at $25 for 20 rounds of 7.62X39mm the gun shoots up so quick . :eekers:
If you get a chance to buy some ammo for that machine , get some Sellier and Bellot , its CZ stuff, and very nice compaired to that other crap your shooting , and costs just a little more . CheaperThanDirt.com is where I used to buy mine . I only shoot real brass now .

Cheers Cuclune , enjoy blowing stuff up would ya :thumbsup:
