Chinese section

[Stu]

I have had a mutter off one of the mods about creating a section just for Chinese bikes!

Do you think we would benefit from this?

I have have also had a thought that a Chinese bike owner should mod it and a name has been put forward! So [mention]XTreme[/mention] so you think you could take it on?

In the spirit of Xtremes posts let me just say.......

On a serious note probably would be useful, would you have as an overall section or would there be sub sections for individual brands, although most are identical there are some that are brand specific even though they might look the same they are different

Might alienate Chinese owners and mean fewer people would go in there to help with 'why is my bike all rusty?' type posts though.

I would think it would attract more people to the forum knowing that there is a dedicated section for chinese bikes, one would think that people would be more inclined to post problems about their bikes without feeling intimidated or being shunned by other forums or groups, there is still a stigma attached to owning chinese bikes though it is on the decrease but still present in many online areas, and having such a section would help to reduce the stigma and bullying that it has acquired over the years

Good idea,

while you're at it why not create a Japanese, German, British, Danish, Spanish, US, Thai...

then subsections for each brand, also sub-subsections for models split by years.

Having said that. what's wrong with the current format?

[Bender]

I think just one general sub section should do

Chinese bikes, engines, phones.

[Old-codger]

Should it have restricted access and be covid secure so no crap gets out and infects the rest of the forum.

Try it out as trial, give it a few months or till the end of the year if there is no benefit to having it then get rid

Alternative option as we often get one post wonders have a guest section maybe have to do a captcha for the spam, but would save someone having to sign up just for a quick one off question

Apart from the questionable quality of materials and the dubious styling of certain models , they are basically just bikes like any other . I've seen first hand the horrors of shoddy manufacturing that plagued Chinese bikes in the early nineties and their reputation was justly deserved but the other day I took the time to thoroughly examine a brand new Lexmoto and I could find very little to fault it . I think thev one thing that Chinese bike owners may have in common is that a disproportionate number of them are first time motorcyclists and consequently lack basic knowledge and experience . So why not sweep aside all notions that Chinese bikes are somehow different and just treat them as bikes . Let's face it , the future of motorcycling is looking pretty bleak as it is so the more people we can keep on two wheels , the better .

That would be you, xtreme and fastbob once he's worked out why his bike is Rusty.
