  2. Re: Jialing JH600B: anybody knows / seen the steering sidecarwheel?

    Hello Guys, Can anyone tell me if there is a US importer/ distributor for the JH600B? Has it passed EPA/DOT? I'd like to get my hands on a bunch of them.

    Thanks, Peej

    Re: 400cc Three Street

    The initial response seems quite positive. If any Manufs are wondering if they should make a "middleweight"...they should read the comments after this article from the Kneeslider.

    400cc Three Street

    Some clever builders have taken a Chinese three cylinder ATV motor and put it into a nice street frame. Well done, I like it.

    Should the Loncin liquid cooled 250 be a contender in this search, Culcune? What motors are in the Pitster?

    I shoulda known that was Oberdan's work. He sure is good. The Chinese should hire that guy. He could design beautiful bikes for the entire industry there. He has cranked out many inspired designs.
