Hey Almon,

Actually, in my opinion, this could have easily have been avoided by H1.  Their fault was relying on "local" backup scenerios.  It only costs slightly more to have a redundant set of servers in an alternate location to avoid these types of problems.  

I owned an ISP for several years and I had multiple locations in Indiana as far apart as Sellersburg and Fort Wayne.  All the systems were 100% redundant and in the 15 years I owned the site, I never once had a failure that knocked it out.  In fact, I had a car run into the server room at one time and take it out completly and there wasn't so much as a single complaint from any of my customers.

I also personally use two different hosting sites myself for my mission critical sites and I control the DNS settings for each.  I periodically swap my name servers to make sure both sites are working correctly, as well.

Just a thought.

Wow... that is one nice looking bike... I really like the "Honda" badges on the swingarm. ;-)

I have "Gold wings" on my Lifan... they look perfect on it.

It's possible your ignition switch is bad.

I don't know about those models, both the speedo and odo on my bikes are mph.

Both of my Lifans are in MPH.  The only others I have seen either have MPH only or are marked with both MPH and KPH.

But, to answer your question, 1 Mile = 1.6 Kilometers.

1st oil change at 0 miles, 2nd at 20 miles, 3rd at 100 miles.

Actually, that's a bit too much, I think.  You can safely go 100 miles on the second change and at least 300-500 on the third.  After that, I'd do it every 600-1000 depending on how you ride.

My bikes are running absolutely perfectly and broke in quite nicely.  The important thing is to not get the engine running to hard (or constant) in the first few hundred miles.  After the second oil change, you can bump the speeds and durations up a bit.  After 600 miles, your bike should be broken in quite nicely.

The sprocket change alone will allow the bike to get up to ~95 mph.  The other changes really don't change the top end, but just allow it breath easier.

I cruise all the time on my bike at highway speeds keeping right up with all the traffic.

I had a tire out of balance.  But when I changed to the larger tires... problem went away. ;-)

So your saying the Lifan’s branded by Skygo, Roketa, TMS, Galata are built by Lifan with the intention of selling them in the United States with the respective brand names on them.

That is correct.  Technically, these are not grey market bikes.  In fact, here is a simple proof... look at the decals on them.  They are applied at the factory and clear coated over... in the factory during the final finishing/painting process.

Sorry... I didn't realize that part of my message didn't get posted.  You can ride for several hours (in my case... 3) and I still had quite a bit of gas left.

I normally go 300 miles on a tank of gas.  That was mixed cruising... some highway, some country roads.  Normally cruising at between 55 to 70 mph.

Both my bike shift the same.  Pretty easy.  However, I am still in the break in period, infact, still under 100 miles on the black bike.  It shifts identically to the green bike with over 3500 miles on it.

You can ride it until it runs out of gas.  I've done it twice with the Green Ninja Tutrle Bike.

Black Beauty still hasn't been on that road that much. ;-)

Yes... I should have a video to post Wednesday or Thursday of this week.  (Depending on the weather... which hasn't been cooperating this week here in Cincy.)
