There are quie a few Youtbe videos of te Daxs on Lanzarote so they must be fairly popular.

If there is only one company renting them, this is it

If more companies, then these are one of the companies.

These would make the perfect 'island' bike as far as images that come to mind when I think of 'island bikes,' besides scooters. I could picture 'Barnone's' side hack now that he has alot of photos of his sidecar bike

After a week of almost continual rain thought i would have a little local run out on the Lifan.

Love the scenery (and the bike)! I actually like rain, but I can definitely see how too much will ruin riding plans!!

Here's the most "scenic" photo I have of my Skyteam. At this point all the emissions equipment has been removed except for the air pump. Also, what can't be seen in the photo is the exhaust system. I cut and re-welded a regular $50 ebay pitbike exhaust pipe to fit this bike. It seems to have helped with throttle response and low-end. According to Skyteam, the bike is DOT and EPA legal, but Pennsylvania has extra stringent requirements for Chinese-made bikes that aren't on their approved list, so I ended-up registering it thru Vermont. The actual manufacturer is Sacin-Jaingsu. I don't have a lot of miles on this bike, but I have ridden it many hours in very hot weather up and down the aisles of the swap meet at Mid Ohio. Except for a snapped clutch cable and dry-rotted turn signal stem, it's been completely reliable.

Looks like the 4 month run of good weather has finally broken as we enter our 2nd week of wet weather and the leaves fall from the trees. I bought the Lifan at the end of May and have had a great summer on it. Probably the best value for money fun i have had in a long time. Apart from a few minor niggles its been a very reliable little bike. Wish i had bought one years ago. Now, what to do withher over winter? Stay with the fitted 110 or drop in a new 125?

My parents are in the UK as their final stop before heading back to L.A. They are staying at my aunt's home in Faversham and mentioned all the rain. Not good weather for riding, but neither of my parents ride...

I would drop in a 125cc just because...so I encourage you to do the same!

Favershm is a nice area, its about 20 miles further east than i am and into a more picturesque part of Kent. Yesterdays rain was biblical, i am glad i took the jeep to the station.

I like the 110 and its been a very reliable and wi!ling engine, but not sure its worth trying to extract any more power from it. The only issue with the 125 is that my insurance company may not want to cover me anymore. And they can be reluctant to accept home fitted engines. Instead insisting that its done by a garage and comes with an engineers report. The alternative is to do it and not tell them. The downside to that though is your insurance would be void.

trexuk,
Bummer about the insurance insisting on having a shop do the 125 installation. Is the 125 that much more powerful?

We have also been getting biblical rains off and on here in Western North Carolina for several weeks. Going to be the wettest October in history if the rains continue. My steep driveway keeps washing out and the tractor is earning it's keep doing the repair.
