Default Happy Time?

This is my "rant" for the day...
Does anyone else here hate it when our engines are called a "Happy Time", or is it just me?
I know that a lot of us prefer to "putt" around town at a nice slow pace, but I for one see my bike as something "cool" that I can make faster & race around town on "thumbing my nose" at "the man"!
A lot of our bikes are so nice that people on Harleys stop to look at them... I have a Harley in my garage, & you'll see me every weekend at Venice Beach riding the "Bomber"!
Anyways... I hate the term "happy time" (I just think it sounds stupid... "sorry!")
If I use a nickname for it, I'll call it a Chengine! What about you?

Ditto. I to really hate the "happy time" name, it brings visions of ferries dancing through the meddow. I do kind of like Deacons China Girl name, that reminds me of my Navy days...Kelly

"My little China girl" is kinda cool although I must admit that I do have a happy time on my china girl! All I know for sure is that I can't think of any other product that gives you so much bang for our buck.

Now, hate is a strong word my friend, and frankly if any of them wanted to come here, we would welcome them with open arms.

That way they would have a non-hostile environment in which to learn about the motorized bicycle kits and how to keep their bicycle motors running and fun.

They would go from this-
To this-
