Does this mean that the online drop shippers get first shot at thge new products or does
it mean that no B&M dealer has ordered it yett?
Thanks jim for getting back to me on this. You are the IB "Go To Guy"

MC, your opening line has this ol southern boy still laughing!!! Good on you1

I have been involved in the dog show game for 50 years as an exhibitor, professional handler,
show superintendant, and for the last 27 years I have been a professional sharpener working the show circuits in the SE sharpening clipper blades and scissors as well as selling
grooming equipment. For the past 6 years I have slowed down the road trips and have concentrated on turning the business into a home based retirement income. If it is not against the forum rules you can see what I do at tarabar.com, out website.

Thanks, Jim. Honest dealers like your self need to hold the distributors feet to the fire
when they miss the mark. It does not help your sales when they try to do it on the cheap.
That applies to any distributor. They can make it cheap or they can make it good. In the long
run cheap loses.
Let me know what you think about the Falcon. The concept does appears to do away with the tranny problems by using the regular scoot tranny. I think that a 240 or 300 cc engine
would have been a better power choice but over all it looks like it might be a winner.

Jim, not trying to put you on the spot but what is your take on the
150-12 Falcon Reverse Trike. It seems to have the 'leaning front wheel' design seen on the Piaggio MP series but wider spaced and it is belt driven thus eliminating the chain and gear box approach that has caused a lot of problems in the 2009 models.
Possibly a good move on IBs part.
I was visiting the IB home page and I note that they are reference to the Japanese bearings. I take it that they have
solved the chatter problem that wildman found was caused by the missing bearings.
And why do they show a max speed of 55 on all models regardless of engine size and then show 49mph for the Viking
Ruckus clone(they is about correct from my experience)?
My dealer friend visited a couple of Ice Bear dealers in Fl. at Christmass and in talking shop they told them that the 10 &11
models were not giving the problems that the earlier ones did.
So it looks like IB is addressing the problems now.
I am brain picking today

That was good service on the Lance. I have a TGB 150 Delivery with 7000 miles on it,
runs like a clock, needs a rear tire soon but other than that it is fine. Mountain moped sold
a TGB 150 Del to a commercial photographer who uses it in his work. He brought it in for
servicing with 30,000 miles on it. All it needed was a new belt, rear tire, and the rest was
basic tune up,plug, vale adj., air filter, oil change.
The trick to it is to do regular fluid changes and basic tuneups.

The only problem we had with my 'new' 09 TGB R9i was with the gas left in the
carb from testing 3 years ago. You could chip the varnish out of the carb bowl and
it took rejetting with high performance jets and cleaning the carb thoroughly before
it would crank. It is a Taiwanesae bike. All the rubber was in good shape.
