125cc Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 Might alienate Chinese owners and mean fewer people would go in there to help with 'why is my bike all rusty?' type posts though. Why is my bike all rusty ? Pfft, a bit of WD-40 will sort that out no bother... Quote
dynax Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 So when is this chinese section happening, i have already started a shortlist of what i want to get next Quote
Bender Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 Please feel free to take the proverbial out of Chinese products but racial stereotypes will be deleted [mention]dynax[/mention] is still fair game though Quote
gymwitch Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 You mean like a 'safe space' for chinese bikes. Quote
Bender Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 You mean like a 'safe space' for chinese bikes. Yes, like a quarantine zone Quote

Mr Fro Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 [mention]Stu[/mention] - Surely you could link the "New Post" button to the "Deactivate my Account" button, no? Quote
winston smith Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 I think it's a fabulous idea.......I've been toying with getting a benelli for a while now, when It goes wrong I feel I need a dedicated page for me to post my repair questions and have the piss ripped out of me properly. Quote

You should be okay, Benelli's seem to be well made machines and pretty reliable by all accounts Quote
WD-40 Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Those bikes are mainly bought by youths and youths don't use forums. You'd be better off starting a fat, baldy, grumpy, auld lad BMW/Harley section Quote
S-Westerly Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Those bikes are mainly bought by youths and youths don't use forums. You'd be better off starting a fat, baldy, grumpy, auld lad BMW/Harley section Well I'm better padded than I'd like to be, getting balder by the day, auld, and grumpy BUT I don't have a BMW or a Harley. Nor anything Chinese for that matter. Quote
Trooper74 Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 We pulled up at the lights in town yesterday .... Honda CG 125 lookalike sat next to us ..... the rust was bursting through the mudguards, the spokes where rusted .... the paint was flaking off the frame ..How old ? ...... 2018 !We ANPR'd it as the condition did not reflect the age ... yep.. 2018 and already dissolving .....

It's probably left outside in all weathers with no protection or cover over it, any bike would suffer the same in those circumstances Quote

Having ridden a Yamaha YBR125 over one winter, if that bike had never been coated in ACF50, never been washed, never had rust spots treated and painted over with hammerite, after 2 winters it would have looked as bad as that. Most Japanese 125s are made in China. Quote

You'd be better off starting a fat, baldy, grumpy, auld lad BMW/Harley section But if the Chinese bikes were in another section what would we have to be grumpy about ? I have a full head of hair in its original colour by the way which is more than can be said for my teeth . Quote
husoi Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Make sure there is a section to moan about how the Chinese companies lie about solar panels output. Quote
S-Westerly Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Well they lie about everything else so why not their solar panels? That said our lot aren't exactly paragons of virtue when it comes to the "truth". Seems very flexible somehow. Quote
