06-11-2016, 02:42 AMHi Barnone. No sir, I have not. Its stilling sitting there - registered/titled/insured. ;-/. not sure of you saw my post at that "other place" - motorbicycling.com - I took a bad spill on my "Flea Hopper" (49cc single speed chain drive 4 stroke "goped")................hit curb in a turn - patch of gravel out of nowhere on an otherwise clean concete street presented itself while I was in a high lean - of course I panicked, righted myself, bit curb at 20- mph..............and sailed over the top of goped. landed on right shoulder (not wearing helmet (hell flea hopper's top speed is 23 mph - more bicycle than motocycle) just a fedora). walked my self home with a busted up scooter (now fixed - but of course fouled carb from sitting for months ;-/.) then drove myself to emergency room where they comfirmed my boken collar bone. which I knew when I hit the ground.
of course the bone did not fuse (all this was in October 2015)..........waited until Feb2016 fpr bone fuse together - nothing. Doc said "no big deal, live with it. Which I did do until May - I could not slep on my right side without waking up in pain - and had low level pain 2/3 of the time all day. So got another doc and he put a fking plate in there 3 weeks ago. fun fun. feel better already. second doc much better than the first one.
I'll be off both the Flea Hopper and the never gassed/oil/etc "katydid kicker" at least until September. doc said the break was worse than he expected after opening me up and that I was leave my arm in a sling for 7 weeks (4 more from yesterday). then to "take it easy" for another month of so.
;-/.
a simple break ended up sidelining me for months ;-/. sucks being a "cripp" - lol.
I'll provide some picts (you can see a couple of my "flea hopper" on my account page at "motorbicycling". I installed a since big Slipstreamer windscreen early this year, added some "neon-green" saddlebags too (they are XL Dog Fanny Packs from Petco, but some "retroreflective green (glass beeds in the fabric) shop cloves, and a nice "Biltwell Gringo" metallic green retro style helmet. plus a flourasent green-yellow motorcycle jacket.
them being - "ill be small" so I damn well need to be seen - bright colors all over - green green and more green (prob all some reflexive tape to the sidcar too) bought some Z50 and MonekeyBike oval etro stickers to put on sidecar.
So once I get my right arm back - I'll post same more picks of the "kicker". I'll be adding a green "Ecology" (flag that was marginally known and used in the early 70's) flag too (my goped has a yellow Happyface flag (12 x 18)
Hope all is well with you Barnone - you still over at the bicycle place? I don't go there much lately (being disabled - don't have much to say - lol)

gaffo,
Damn, that crash really set you back. I'm in the mountains for the summer riding my Chinese monkey bikes and my Ural. That is enough to keep me busy. Maybe gonna do a motorbicycle this winter.
Me on the Dragon.

03-16-2017, 05:21 AMThought i would revisit this thread after a long time away. My clone is ten years old this month, and is now up to 11,500kms. Now fitted with a YX140 engine, thats still being run in. I will have had the clone for 3 years in May and havent regretted a single day of ownership.

Nice install. That 140 cc motor should move her along just fine.

Good to see you back, Trex! Long time no see!!
Barnone, you never leave, but I can tell you are snowbirding since you tend to post a lot lot less during the winter while you are in Florida. Probably too busy riding!!
I always wonder what your hack would be like with a 140cc in it?? Probably too much power for its own good.

I forgot to ask, Trex--do you know the OEM for your engine? I know that Lifan tend to OEM some of the performance engines, but I am sure there are 'hot-rodded' horizontal engines from the other two big Chinese firms, Loncin and Zongshen. Just curious...
