    Guys, toabao is my friend, unfortunately my assistant tend to be pissed off easily as I "taobao her too much"

    I just found there is this product available on the market, I may give it a try, thought a teflon coating at the factory could be more expensive but a better solution...

    I need to think about it.

    Pete, I also don't speak chinese, I google translate the thing I want, in this case "exhaust paint" which my friend google told me it translates "排气涂料" then I taobao it, and then I just need to annoy someone to purchase it for me.

    So, a BIG question is.....
    what the hell is this? http://www.ymmtch.com/products.asp?id=94
    seems to be a police impounded bike, the website seems to sell lots of cheap bikes (second hand and impounded) if its genuine we may have just found our motorbike heaven


    Im not after a YBR but i did get a bit curious and asked my wife to research a cheap on for me.. she came up with this website http://www.ymmtch.com/?jdfwkey=k60hq

    I will aim to check it out in the next month and report back, if everything goes well and i actually get a bike form them and its legal (not a stolen bike) then I will report here.

    Guy's ... that's bullshit! Just have a look at the prices. Maybe for the YBR might be still ok, but all the rest. Don't be greedy, they scam you!
    Lesson learned from 15y in China: What costs nothing in China ... is nothing in China!

    In the google translation you find already things about paying deposits, etc. .... and if nothing happens afterward you go to search for them or what? ... how innocent one can be!

    i also found him on taobao. as you know if the item doesnt arrive then you can claim the money back. but dont worry, im not about to send money to a bank account, we would go to his shop thing, have a look around and ask if we can have the traffic police come and inspect the bike and certificates and books, after that i would only depart from my cash once the keys and reciept had been written up and the traffic cop was happy with it...
    im not stupid but i also dont want to miss out on anything :-)
    just because something is possibly possible, does not follow that is it essentially essential.

    Went down this road a few years ago "what is to good to be true is generally not true" or " a fool and his money is easily parted"

    I particularly like the advertisements for creams that will make you loose weight or breasts grow bigger here or my favorite that do both at the same time. Do enjoy watching the adds though.

    Website will probably disappear soon.Don't worry another scammer will post another website shortly.

    China a scammers paradise.
