Welcome to My Website

Thank you for visiting. I created this site to share my journey and experiences with motorcycles—something that has been a passion of mine since a young age. I began riding at 13, starting out on friends’ dirt bikes and mini bikes. At 18, I acquired my first motorcycle: a 1973 Honda CB200, gifted to me by a neighbor. It arrived in parts and pieces, but rebuilding it sparked a deep enthusiasm for riding and mechanics that continues to this day.

In 1989, I purchased a brand-new Yamaha Route 66, a 250cc V-Twin that I rode for many years. However, in 1999, a serious back injury forced me to take a long hiatus from riding. It wasn’t until 2016 that I felt ready to get back on the road. Unsure of how my body would respond, I opted for an affordable entry-level option—a RPS Hawk 250. It was shipped to my home in a crate, and after assembling and registering it, I was back in the saddle.

Around that time, I discovered Chinariders.net, a forum dedicated to Chinese motorcycles. I joined under the screen name JerryHawk250, and from there, my interest in bike modification truly took off. I began sharing write-ups and creating videos about my experiences, and what started as a hobby quickly became a passion.

Over the years, I found myself purchasing about one bike per year, simply for the enjoyment of building, modifying, and riding. In 2019, I added a Venom X22R 250 to my collection—perhaps the most enjoyable bike I’ve modified to date. I upgraded everything from the cylinder head to a high-compression piston and camshaft.

In 2020, I picked up a Venom Ghost Chopper 250, a small cruiser-style bike. Then in 2022, I purchased a Kawasaki Vulcan S 650, which remains my favorite ride. It offers the comfort of a cruiser with the handling of a sport bike. That same year, I also bought the Lifan KPX 250, the highest-quality Chinese motorcycle I’ve owned. It features a 250cc fuel-injected engine with a 6-speed transmission—an upgrade from the 5-speed carbureted bikes I had previously.

I later added a Venom E-Vader to my lineup, intended for camping trips and short city rides. Most recently, I acquired a 2023 Lifan Lycan 250 Chopper and a 2004 Honda ST1300. I’ve since sold the 2016 Hawk 250 and will be parting with the 2020 Vulcan S Café as well.

Now, my latest addition is the 2025 Lifan KPT 400—undoubtedly the best bike I’ve owned so far.

Hope everyone enjoys the new website. I’ll be constantly updating the site so be patient. Also please make sure to check out my You Tube Channel. Link at the top of the page. I’ve made videos on all of the bikes and there mods.
