Greetings All,

Well, my wife's job offer refuses to become solidified, so we've decided to go ahead with out travel plans. Submitted my passport today for yet another China visa (Yikes! They upped the price to $190 US).

Should be arriving in Shanghai on May 24th. and will take a day to relax. I want to visit the C.J. shops in Shanghai and hopefully share a beer with any fellow riders there.

Still hoping to scare up a two or three-wheeler for a ride up near Beijing.

All the excellent ride reports I've been reading these past weeks have been getting me keyed up. So I'm hoping for some ridin'. My motto "It's a pain in the ass when it is happening, but it's Adventure Riding when you tell the story!"

Cheers,
