Excuse me! Can you watch my bike for a sec? Alone in China on YBR250

Hello

On the 10th of this month I left the city of Taizhou in Zhejiang to go across and around China. I'm not much of a planner and I don't know where I'll go. I have few places I want to see but in general I'm open for what the tarmac will bring :lol8:
Im will stay on a road for about 60 days and ill be updating this thread as I go.

First day i planned to leave at 8am but ended up leaving at 12! due to sorting out my luggage and rear suspension as it turned out it was too soft as the boxes were full.
First day riding went ok apart from those annoying showers that come and go and you don't know if you should wear your waterproofs or not.
I bumped into some motorcycle gathering in one thousand island lake. Lots of custom bikes like the American choppers. I don't have any pick on my phone but once I connect my camera to a computer ill post them here.

hey modron
good luck
i hope you avoided any kind of boat trip on that lake
your bike looks well set up for the trip

Your YBR is the best of the bunch at the gathering!

Good on ya, post up pictures of your trip, your going places - not like most of the MCM members that just troll the forum.... Ride on and stay safe!

Whoa man, it looks like you're not from those who travel light. :icon10:


Still, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks guys!

Im in Nanchang at the moment. Tomorrow will go to Shennongjia in Hubei and after that will head to Xian.

As for the stories of the road, sadly, there are not many. Jangxi and Hubei seem a bit boring or at least the part where I was. The whole country seems to be under construction! road works, road blocks everywhere. Two days ago I run into a bridge meitenence and unfortunately my bike was 5cm to wide to fit through the tiny, little path the left for scooters to get across. Since i didnt know the city and the google maps wouldnt show me any other option i needed to make a detour of 117km .......!!!!

Met a chinese couple that are traveling on a old suzuki 125. They are about 50. Nice to see that people like this exist in China ;)

@Zorge

OUCH!

Good luck on your travels sir, i will be following this thread!

I'll pm you my number, hit me up if you need a place to stay and park in xi'an, or good camping spots around here.

Excellent! "scribed... the big gathering was the HOG China meeting, at least 1200 HD's and 1700 members I have been informed if my short term memory serves me correctly (via email with Jimmy Tsung - HD Suzhou). I see you are already passed Nanchang, Jiangxi. There are some narly tracks (roads that haven't seen any form of upkeep for bloody years it seemed when we last rode through Jiangxi). Some really interesting spots though. The level of the talent of the fairer sex in Nanchang... whoa Nelly!
Wishing you a fun, interesting full on adventure ride, with the wind at your back.
Keep the shiny side up.
