    Mike, welcome to the hood and greetings from a fellow Virginny-an. :) Which part of VA are you hailing from? I'm not too familiar with Tazewell, which part of the state is that in?

    Mike,

    Looks like we're in different corners of the state. I'm in Fairfax, VA about 30 miles outside of DC. I was just around your neck of the woods a couple months ago coming back from SE Tennessee. You're in some great riding territory and not too far from the BRP (Blue Ridge Parkway).

    Have you ever stopped by Willville bike camp in Meadows of Dan, VA? If not, it would make a great quick overnight ride from where you are.

    Also, before I forget, wher'd you get you bike from and how much was it? Got any pics?

    My inlaws live in Ashburn not to far from you, I haven't heard of Willvile camp. I'll try to get some pics a little later on the bike. I got it from www.bikezdirect.com they had a closeout on it so I got a smokeing deal.

    Mike,

    Willville is worth checking out if you're into bike camping. You usually meet interesting folks there. Big pit and lots of interesting conversations around the fire.

    Last question... How was the transaction with Bikezdirect? Were/are you satisfied with their service/prices/delivery/paper for registration? Had any problems?

    Transaction with bikezdirect was good, after the sale service could have been better but I did get my order eventhough some of the colors were not what I ordered (did a group buy and bought a kart, utility vehicle, atv and (2) of these GY200's) of the 5 units the GY200 were the right color and the atv (only reason I say right color is I called first to see exactly what they had in stock before I made the decision) but anywho I did get my order it was just not exact. I had preveously placed an order here http://www.olsonpowersports.net/ and another order here www.atvdiscounter.com and after a solid month of runarounds "yeah it's shipping by this Friday" I said forget it and let me credit card company finish the deal then ordered w/Bikezdirect.

    Just checked out Bikezdirect and they seem to be having some serious sales on models!

    I couldn't find an 200GY's on there though. All I saw was some VX250's for 1300 bucks. They must be trying to move serious inventory! I even saw a 400CC street bike on there which has not arrived yet.

    If I hadn't just bought a truck, I'd be interesting in picking up one of their 250 scooters. For that price, even if they had only half the troubles of a Vespa, it would would still give them an incredible run for their money.

    Thanks for the info and I look forward to seeing some pics.

    Ride Safe!

    Yeah I think I bought out the last they had, they have a sweet looking cruizer on there I wouldn't mind having to. Like I said Bikezdirect gets a for at least getting my order and not giving me a runaround. If I buy more Atv's or whatever yeah I'll probably go back there again but as for the other two I wouldn't waste the time typing in the www address.
