Glad you have a full face helmet though.

Jape wife wouldnt have it any other way. I have a Hafy but thats after I feel more comfortable on it not to mention it was about 12 -14C out here today, still a bit too chilly for this mug

Thanks for sharing your comprehensive postings, Gardo! What a great vicarious thrill to watch someone get a motorcycle!

Ride safe!

Also might have to adjust the shifter, finding Neutral was a bit tricky

That battery cable was too close to the chain without a zip tie. 1.2 L of oil is right for me too. The transmission will loosen up with a few miles on the bike.
Good to have someone else with the Dong Fang bobber for note/idea comparing.
Now if bighabeeb and Aboshi will get it going, we will have a gang to rape and plunder.

Nice little video, thanks. You smoke too much.

**Gardo** · 03-07-2011, 12:09 AM

Dear Gardo,

The bike she looks and sounds great! She's retro and minimalist at the same time. And, though it's hard to tell via video, the noise level sounds lower than you and barnone had led me to believe.

For Scene 2 do you have a helmet mount for your camera?

Good luck with registration, and thanks for posting!

cheers
