Was that before or after you plagiarised Apple.com for your webpage graphics?

SteveH's website has been like that for ages now. From what he's posted I gather that he put the bike together today. So I am going to suggest that it was after.
I've just realised that it's not always what you say Conor, its the way you *always* say it that gets people's backs up, you big fat no-brains ignorant yorkie munching bollock. (c:
Anyway, AIUI, if you're feeling lazy and you use some web page buildy feature of MacOS, you can choose from several themes for the website you just cheated at and that's one of them.

As a lorry driver, I've been called worse.

People don't think you're a csnt because you're a lorry driver, they think you're a csnt because you're a csnt.

Is there a point to this post, because if there is, I appear to have missed it.

Bike in a box! I know almost nothing about motorcycles and have never even heard of hongdou before. Please tell me more: how long did it take to build, how much are they, where are they from (China?), where did you buy it, spec of the bike, how it rides, what it's like to run & insure, etc. Just freeform waffle would be good.

It's taken me about 4 hours to build so far, but it's not quite finished yet.
Yes, it's made in China - you can buy them on ebay for £700, delivered to your door.
It's a 200cc engine, top speed around 75mph and *very* tall. I can't touch the floor on it!
Dunno about running and insurance - it'll go on my existing (big) bike policy so will probably cost me nothing to insure.
Riding, I'll let you know when I get it finished and registered.

Does everything fit first time? Certainly, most kit cars are pretty ropey and so much has to be adjusted (read: hammered) to make it right.
Just taken a browse on ebay. *tempted* but my partner would not be keen on me getting a bike :(
What are the biggest engines they do?
Tell me more about registration: I see some say certificate of conformity (so just register then?) and some save SVA. Are bike SVAs any easier/harder than car SVAs?

Most things fit, but the bodywork takes a bit of persuasion to fit!
200cc is the biggest.
These things don't need an SVA as they're under an 'off road motorcycle' category which bypasses the SVA regulations. My paperwork should arrive in the post today, so I don't fully understand what comes with it yet. I do know that it's a relatively simple case of taking the right documents to the local DVLA office, paying the £38 new registration fee and £30 for tax, then I'll be allocated a reg. number - all I need then is to have a plate made up and I'm set to go.

Looks like fun. Reminds me of my first bike. Have you got any decent offroad areas to try it on?

They're so much cheaper than, say, an Enfield. What's are the closest competition? Are these about as cheap as they get? If there are cheaper bikes, how do they compare? How do these compare to say, the closest Honda?
And 50cc monkey bikes the smallest?
Interesting! So what constitutes an "off road motorcycle" then? Flappy plastic mud guards and nobbly tyres? A minimum ground clearance?
Please keep us posted.
