On May 8, 2008, James Grooms, Editorial Director, and Steven Thomas, Editor, headed out from Overland Park, Kansas (suburban Kansas City Missouri Kansas) to the Cassoday Bike Run in Cassoday at the foot of the Flint Hills.

Often referred to as Little Sturgis or Little Daytona, for the first Sunday of each month between March and November, the small town of a couple hundred residents is turned into a sprawling motorcycle rally where upwards of 8,000 motorcycles fill the streets.

When we were there, the weather was perfect for a ride but maybe a bit too cold for the bikini biker babes often seen at rallies and poker runs. But, there were motorcycles from every manufacturer on the roads including Harley Davidson Big Dog BMW Custom Chopper Honda Yamaha Suzuki Victory Triumph Ducati and everything from antique, classic and vintage to brand new.

Besides being just a place for a bunch of people to sit around and look at motorcycles, there were vendors selling leather gear, vest, chaps, shirts and accessories. There was a dyno there so you could see Harleys vs sportbikes vintage vs new.

This is my old bike. My Exmoto
It is a Delta V twin 250cc by Quianjiang, It is perfect Clone of the Yamaha Virago 250cc.
runs at speeds of 85MPH (135KMH) with 230 pound on top her with a little more power left for reserve. top speed is 95MPH.

I live in Houston Texas and the Highways are quite big, so I had to learn to deal with tough gusts of wind hitting a light wait bike, but by now it is almost second nature to me.
I got it from Ebay, I don’t need a dealer close to me because I take her to Yamaha for oil changes. It came ready to ride, just install the front tire and tie some bolts and enjoy.

There hare several differences between the makers of these beautiful machines “Honda,Yamaha,Lifan,Quinjang,verucci,Defiant and Yamati” but all of them share the same V twin spirit and frame.
I have customized her with the following and my expense still under twenty five hundred dollars, US $2500USD. take a look.

1 Headlight chrome eagle visor. purchase @ chrome leather & plus.

2 Front break reservoir chrome eagle cover.@ CL & P.

3 Front fender eagle head with red-lighted ayes. @ CL & P

4 Tank chrome trim and fenders edge guard purchase a wall mart.

5 fender extensions on the front and back, custom made from a 5 bucks plastic trashcan, no fender drilling no hustle just attached to original rear light bolts.

6 Extra driving lights “LED” attached on amber covers on the turn signals lights to add safety at night.

7 Horse saddlebags, with a badge that reads “Pony Express” perfect size for my pony. from eBay.

8 Chrome eagle license plate frame

9 Chrome wheel valve caps and license plate matching chrome bolts.

10 Right side cover, Fake Oil filter, made with a chrome plated
little saucepan to add some big bike flavor.

11 Thank chrome name “gitana” from the Sing experts.com ..Not shown in video

12 Tire withe wall, made with paint from Ranger tires paint.

13 LED cool red engine lights

14 Also a set of black DOT leather beanie helmets from eBay and some other small things. etc.etc……

Wherever I go the people stare at my bike and ask “it is really a 250cc”

Go here to see more info. our club http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Lifan/

“What do you want Vs What you can Buy”
If I had $6500USD I would get a Yamaha drag Vstar 650.. or Honda shadow aereo 750…
