Last Saturday we took a 65 mile ride from home up along FR 370 which runs along the east side of the Cascade divide. My daughter rode the CT, me the Lifan 200, and Jerry his Honda 250. It was a prefect day for riding, 70s, all sunshine, great scenery, dirt and rocks. The spot where this pic was taken is one of my favorite camp spots.

It REALLY is. And I don't think that there's an incline this bike couldn't get up that a stock motor in low gear could, even with me having a 17 tooth counter shaft sprocket on it. I will say I almost miss the 'Hang on let me get wound up.' character of the original motor. ALMOST. image


Looks like a nice day of riding. Good choice of steeds too. I wouldn't mind finding one of those little lifan DS bikes.

I took Tater up to Cloudcroft, NM today for some trail riding. Road 223 (county dirt road, maybe a forest service road). Needed to change out the main when I got to some real high altitude. Started chaning the jet and then it started pouring on me and I lost one of the float bowl screws and then fuel quit flowing past the needle. image Got tired of tinkering with it in a down pour so I started pushing it back when some gentlemen camping nearby offered to load it up and give me a lift back to there truck. image

I'll tinker with it some tomorrow and see if I can get the carb flowing fuel to the bowl again and go pick up another screw at the local Ace hardware. If not, I've always got a spare PZ22 carb I can throw on it after swapping out the jets.
