Everbody; come say Hi to the n00b! ;)

Hello everyone!

I'm new here, so I suppose the right thing to do is post a little intro before I start wandering all over the place. Right then. I'm akumabito.. I am neither in Australia, nor do I ride a minibike of any sort. In fact, I live in Thailand and drive a scooter... So I guess you're all wondering what on Earth I'm doing here then..

Well, it's like this... I'm looking for a classic Honda C70 to restore and upgrade. The plan is to strip it completely, refurbish everything that looks worn out (the Thai generally have a horrific attitude towards bike maintenance) - and then strap on a nice big performance motor. Throw it all back together, finish it off with some nice paint, etc., etc.

The last few days I've been looking for info all over the internet about Lifan engines and similar brands, and this forum kept popping up in all my Google searches. I have a whole bunch of questions regarding the different engine manufacturers, engine sizes, upgrade options, etc., etc. for which I'll open a new thread in the appropriate Tech section.

So I hope you'll tolerate me around here, as this forum really is a treasure trove of information..

Cheers,
-Aku.
