    China Adventure - thanks for sharing, it's good to get some infos from China as it seems it is still really very restrictive.

    Thanks for sharing
    Fascinating to see how badly motorcycles treated still probably because of huge numbers of mopeds and scooters.
    Great pictures.

    We planned to go to China in June, it's really expensive and complicated.
    Seeing your report, I now have a good idea of what awaits us. :clap

    We are five motorcycles (800 cc) and an agency asks us $ 4,500. - per person for the entire papasserie, let us cross the border (license and plate) and guide us for 32 days

    I will take my precautions

    Hopefully some time in the future China will open up more and allow foreigners to ride freely and unescorted. We just experienced traffic in Lima, Peru, and I could only compare it to what I experienced in India, I can now add China to the mix.

    Thanks again:thumb

    Let me give it a try

    * Mouth Watering and Authentic Celery = Dry Celery Vegetable with beancurds
    * Soup Sunken Sub-Groups = Vegetable soup with meat balls

    Nice ride report. Hopefully china one day will open up its motorcycle riding laws and policy so that ppl can tour around much easier with motobikes. In most cities motorcycle riding is simply prohibited, even though china probably produces the most # of motorbikes compared to any other countries
