Vince, that's just hilarious. Did the Dong Fang girls come out and offer to work your throttle?

I reckon you already know this but Dong Fang (东方) means "the orient" in Chinese.

cheers!...

Awesome post, barnone, for which thanks! Motorcycles open our eyes to so many good things!

Dear Culcune,

Thanks for making this post, which raises an important question. I too have noticed others launching parallel threads to this one, either because they weren't aware of it or due to...

Dear Barnone,

You must get some pretty fun reactions on the Ural. That's sweet. I also like the bicycle rack. There are so many times when a bicycle is the perfect complement to a motorcycle, or...

'tis Florida indeed. Barnone is now active in the W650 threads at ADVRider and Yahoo. As I recall, he had this cool little winter place in Florida and his summer place somewhere in Appalachia.

Dear Terrilb05,

Welcome to MyChinaMoto! Glad to see you found this epic DF 250 RTB thread, which is by far the most active thread in MCM and has had an amazing life of its own since the member who...

Dear Skullworkz,

That Singer project is so cool it deserves a thread of its own! No cheap plastics on that almost 90-year-old battle axe! Thanks to you and your wife for breathing new life into a...

Perhaps your link is here, in Xinjiang! Lots of good threads in MCM, lots of good answers!

cheers

OK, as long as you've done your homework....

Looking forward to reading about your experience with the bike and mods!

cheers

another word of caution: google "great sports joliet il" and the first two hits are ripoff/scam reports.

good luck with it.

Idaho is anything but an armpit. One of the most beautiful and pristine places in America! You'll enjoy the bobber there, but, were it me, I'd be looking for a small dual sport that would be...

Is Idaho close to anything? :lol8:

Welcome to MCM, and good luck hooking up with some Dongfangers or other Chinabike fellow travellers!

cheers!

Dear all,

Quick update on Barnone: He PMed me overnight to say he's fine and will check in with MCM soon.

Very glad to hear it!

cheers

Yes, I spotted a fresh Barnone post in advrider yesterday, and pinged him a PM. Hope he hasn't abandoned this peerless DF bobber thread, but I'm happy to respect his privacy now that I know he's not...

I'd hoped to ping him with a PM, but he's set up not to receive them. Damn.

Also, very strangely, barnone -- or someone -- has gone through and edited a whole slew of his posts, all in the last...

Dear Gang,

Any idea what's happened to barnone? He hasn't posted since 24 January! Not like him to go all quiet like this, and someone mentioned that his pictures are not getting served.

Nice work, GR Jr.

Will this bike still be street legal without a working speedometer?

cheers!

Now I'm laughing out loud, GR Jr! Sounds like you are further along in your thinking about the bike's aesthetics than you'd let on!

Egg shell black sounds excellent and durable, but with a high...

I know guys who swear by bedliner for this kind of job, if you want that flat black matte look. Comes cheap in a rattle can.

That tank is going to make a big difference in the overall look, and...

Dear Gun Rod,

Would love to see a scan of that picture of your dad's Indian!

thanks

Dear Alleykat,

Greetings from Shanghai, and welcome to the forum. Hot damn, this is starting to look like an invasion of Texas by chinabikes!

Very much enjoying your slow unwrapping of your...

This is so true! Recently in my sister's neighborhood in a middle-class community north of the Golden Gate Bridge, all of a sudden the whole area sounded like a bunch of Harleys converging on...

Welcome to the forum, Morphon. I really enjoyed my MSF course out in California two years ago.

I was just on the west coast and was astonished by the range of second-hand bikes that are on sale...
