Hey, you're the one who said this:

"The dealer in Texas could title the bike there in Texas to the dealership and then if it had a Texas title it only then needs to be transferred to a PA...

Haha Glad you find humor.

In this case, it's actually you who are misrepresenting.

Yes. PA "SHOULD" title and plate Chinese bikes w/o a problem. In fact, I am a resident of PA. I have tried...

Unfortunately PA is predisposed to deny bikes who's VINs start with L and that are not on PA's list (that hasn't been updated in 3-4 yrs). I don't live near the state capitol to plead my case w/...

I'm not sure how much luck you'd have using me as a reference to get the $999 price ? LOL They might have just been clearing out 2014 models. Couldn't hurt to ask if they'd sell you one for...

I'm accustomed to "unusual" internet dealerships, so this shouldn't have been a surprise. I need to email the seller with the bike's make, model, color, year, and VIN and my name and address to get...

I got out and rode another few miles. I'm still very pleased w/ the bike overall. 'Still getting used to the shift pattern. I live in a housing plan at the junction of 2 cul-de-sacs with a road...

They're Duros. I think they're Duro Medians. Not bad. The bike also has nice one-piece aluminum wheels.

So I did the final prep, double-checked the bolts, charged the battery and changed oil....

Haha. I spent some time in Malaysia in the 1990s and saw a bike with graphics that said "Blood Donor". I'm assuming the owner or graphics designer was going for something more...

The steel frame it shipped in is the most solid I've disassembled and I've unboxed/assembled several Chinese bikes over the years. They actually took the time to weld nuts to the backside of the...

Couple more...

Here are a couple assembly photos. I've got about 10 more, but I only have "GIMP" on this PC and not Photoshop, and it's just different enough to really frustrate me.

Lol well in that case the bike won't arrive for awhile. Lol

I unboxed and assembled it last night in my driveway (in the dark and rain) so it wouldn't be sitting outside getting rained on. I took some flash photos, but won't have time to clean them up and...

Ha. Well it got here. It was scheduled for delivery between 9am and 1. It didn't get here til 2, so I haven't even had time to unbox it. Maybe tomorrow...

It's at a warehouse in Pittsburgh. I probably could have picked it up. They called me and made an appointment to deliver it to my house between 9am and 1. Depending what time it's dropped off,...

Confirmed delivery for Monday morning.

Yes. That's about it. Lol.

Of more immediate concern, The weather forecast for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are reasonably warm and dry. I would have had time to get the bike assembled,...

Latest update... Expected delivery changed from Friday the 23rd to Monday the 26th. :( :confused1:

...As of this morning... "enroute to Indianapolis." It's getting closer. lol

I haven't checked this morning, but as of last evening it was somewhere between Ontario CA and Chicago. It's still due on Friday, but motor freight isn't as reliable as FedEx and UPS. Lol

I got 2 emails yesterday. One said my order shipped, and the other included a .pdf bill of lading for shipping from California. I tried the tracking number on the shipping company's website, but...

Not to worry. I'll run it awhile before any experimenting. If it runs perfectly, I'll leave it alone. LOL Usually they're set-up with very lean small carbs for the US.

Thanks Zorge ! I feel a great weight lifted from my soul. :icon10:

Yeah, I usually try to take photos as I un-crate/assemble/ride these non-motorcycles. I hope it arrives on a day w/o rain. ...

Thanks. LOL I needed another bike like a hole in the head.

Yes. Temptation got the better of me... again. :rolleyes1:
