Man...that's an impressive ride with great photos. It would be great if you had a map showing the roads you took.
I was simply blown away with how little you carried on the motorcycle. Good luck finding a new bike and hope you make it safely back to Europe when you leave China. Cheers ChinaV |

I am very sorry kid, but "...too busy" unfortunately doesn't count here
I mean, you not seriously believe that you can't tease us here with an outlook on an epic ridereport, don't you?! Still the main-titles have cult-potential: China......! 23k on a 125.....! Meeting the love of your life while on a motorcycle journey.... ...bloody faces...! ....leaking machines....! ...rivers to cross...! orry mate, but THIS book must be writen! Otheres made tousands of bucks with far less! If you come to Europe, give me a shout! It'll be an honour hosting you and your wife!
