I got a Schumacher automatic charger at walmart for $24 that works great. Comes with 2 pigtail Adapters one with spades for permanent mount(which I use) and another with alligator clips for temp use on other batts like mower or car. In the auto/moto dept.

My Dad (I'm 49) just ordered a Dongfang 250 bobber. You wouldn't believe the reason he got one. Hes 71 yrs. old and had to give up his 2006 250 Kaw. Ninja because hes having trouble getting his leg over it. And being a twin overhead cam paralell twin (side by side cylinders) a bit more of its weight is a little high. Higher center of gravity than a lower slung bobber style single in other words. And the bobber has an over all lower profile than the Ninja does so he can get on it easier. BTW, Ivy at ScooterDepot sent his MSO and bill of sale the day after they sent the bike. And guess what, It's already here, before the bike is even due to be here. The Bobber is due to be here next Tues. As soon as I can find an Icon that I can click on to start a new thread I will keep you posted about a more recent Dongfang 250 Bobber experience. John

Fantastic story! Welcome to the forum and I hope both you and your old man can post early and often about this new adventure!

It's pretty easy once you get the logic. Click on the Forum tab at the top, then select an appropriate forum where you think your thread will best fit, and click on that. Once the new page loads, you'll see a "post new thread" tab in the upper left. Off you go!

Please don't forget to include pix, without which your bike of course is a non-existent vaporbike. Would be great to see your dad on his Ninja and also the bikes side by side for size and comfort comparison.

Incidentally, what are you riding John? Does this put you on the Ninja?

Welcome again, and cheers!
