In defence of chinese bikes

**cave weta** · 9th July 2008, 21:43

Ive just been reading on here about more of these shocking TurdMe bikes!
have a look at these photos of how mine get treated!! Ive got 7 of them now and they are coping well! Ive lost a few plastics and I have had to tighten a few things up but after 2 years they are problem free!

Dont frett! I still have real bikes as well

7 of them?! Could of got a real bike... is what I know someone will say and I'm just spoiling it for them. They're some awesome photos. My Dad will be keen to see those photos since he's been wondering what they can handle.

My Chinese minimoto is excellent. Not that I've ridden it hard, but it's great fun anyway and dirt cheap

Though I do remember at my old work, a Lifan had just been put together. the mechanic goes for the first kick, the kickstart breaks off...

Ooh, I see you have the luxury muffler version!!!

Do you charge people to come to your house and abuse them?

That's a good advert - I can attest to cave weta's ability to wreck things....

**Headbanger** · 9th July 2008, 22:18

You have had to spread your riding around 7 bikes for them to be reliable?

Bet I could kill one in an afternoon....

...Of course I'd need to be flown out by the westpac copter as well.....

P/t...just in case.

I don't own one, so if you say they are good who am I to dispute it? Whats the actual brand of em?

Are they BUMMER HUMMER? Im rather fond of the old The Bum Hum.

Robert Taylor probably needs putting in the loop re the sunny new colour shocks. Theyre going to be a big thing i feel.

Absolutely!- the best part is watching them! The next best part is phoning them the next day and asking how their bodies are.

Actualy.... Im thinking of turning it into a Stadium Sport. - sort of EnduroCross/Gladiators??
would people pay to watch corporate groups who have never ridden bikes before get through bogs and rivers?

they dont give a toss about the bikes cos their company/boss is paying. I watched a dude step off the back of one just to see how far it would go by itself!

They are Branded Cavalo by the importer but are made by Zonsheng. same specs and quality as a CRF230f but a little better equipped. $3600 +GST. but you have to buy a container lot.
