I told a good friend that I want to import a CJ from China, now he wants one too. He already found the bike he likes the look of, he just needed a video of it running before he pulled the trigger.

Seems to run fine

I have just asked for a video of this one. Hopefully I will have it soon.

The Chinese love Nazi WW2 stuff and especially the SS. I don't think they have a clue what it's about though, they just think it looks cool. LOL

The complete outfit shown below should be shipped in approximately 60 days. I will get rid of the flashers and make some other minor alterations to it when it arrives.

I look forward to seeing this project.

I went to the Philippines a few times. One of the most common form of transportation there is called a trike. In reality, they are taking motorcycles and adding massive side cars that can fit 2-4 adults, depending on if there is reversed seats.

If you have the time, google images search for "Philippines trike". I would love to build a trike like this in the US. I don't even know where to begin. It's crazy to think that they move these around with 125 to 150cc.

Yes I have seen pictures the sidecars they have out there.

The man who will be helping me join the sidecar to my Savage is from the Philippines. He has made many " trikes' in the past. It's nice to have someone one the team who knows what he is doing.
Only last week he told me most people there use 125 or 150cc bikes, but if you have a 200 your are a weathy man.

Hauling the weight is not really a problem, it's the wind resistance that slows them down.

That's sweet. What part of Canada are you in? I know there's a few Filipino communities spread out up there. Filipinos are pretty well connected. I believe my fiance has a friend in Canada.

Oh for sure. Even if the bike was free most couldn't afford the increase in gas usage. The largest bike I saw in the Philippines was a Vulcan 650S. Which is funny, because that is still considered a small beginners bike here, but MASSIVE over there. We had rented a PCX 160. That thing is fast on them streets and pretty large. Felt like I had way more room than a Savage.

We went to a few countries. In Cambodia, we rode around in TukTuks (Rickshaws). Way more comfortable than the trikes in the Philippines. Way cheaper too. Half my rides were about $1 to $1.50. Could order one on an app like uber so convenient.

I'm in Saskatchewan. Tagalog ( Filipino ) is ranked second most common language. There are no cultural enrichment problems.
