i actually got played around by someone from the forums, a certain Dr.Ninja (Thomas) msged me saying he needed some things for his bike in taiwan. i ended up fronting about 300~400 bucks for rims, koso bracket, voltmeter, and something else, and then the dude just vanished on me... ended up having to give back the rims to the shop, which they thankfully took back. but after that i was a little annoyed so i lost my willingness to get into this again.

still the biggest issue for me is the lack of having a PP account. still pisses me off so much that PP shut down my acc for a mistake a friend did, uff...

anyhow, i just sold my ninja 250, and bought the Z250 (aka Z300 in the US i believe).

only got about 2000km on it so far.

i actually crashed the bike at 1000km... dog ran out in front of me, ZZZzzzzzZzzzz... thankfully i barely scratched the bike, nor did i really hurt myself. just a scrape on the knee.

got a video of it with my GoPro~

now sure how to imbed videos, he he...

anyhow, hope everyone is doing well over here!

might peek back at the forums a little more again

peace out~

I saw the video on your Facebook or Youtube channel or something. Glad you're OK! Yeah, I've been buying parts and fixing phones and iPads at-cost for people around me I keep getting screwed over (people disappear after I order the part with my money, refuse to cover a second part when first part is defective or not the only problem, simply never pay, etc). Luckily, these parts are usually pretty cheap, but two $27 LCD screen assemblies can add up.

I don't expect you to take the risk on individuals. Perhaps if someone was going to order a bunch of stuff and front the money. Heck, if I had savings I'd try to open a distribution channel because I know that stuff would sell!
