give her a choice mate,
either you run it in the street, or you run it in the house

my wife never tells me my things are big. She does tell me to go play in the street

So long as it isn't playing in traffic it's all good...

In all seriousness after buying a clone I would double, triple check all screws are tight and have loctite where needed.

after buying a clone, keep money on hand because you'll be surprised in one of two ways, 1 it'll either melt like chocolate over time or it'll hold up too well and you'll get bored of waiting for the 'cheap' parts to break and end up replacing them 'just in case' if you're as bad as me

on a slightly more serious note, if you buy a clone,
buy a brand new QUALITY bearing set from the likes of team fast eddy or taylor rc
buy multiple NGK spark plugs of the right type aswell (most likely cmr7h i think) and ditch the copies becaus it'll be the bane of your existence trying to tune it
