Why am I not even surprised about this any more? And why was it that bikers always have a bad name?
There must be some kind of relation...

I know I can be a bit of an ass on this forum. But really all I want to say is be freakin' careful out there. Honestly please don't hurt yourself on a bike no matter who you are. Remember there is NO reason EVER to get hurt on a bike if you are careful enough, don't take stupid risks weather you're French, American, British, Australian, Chinese etc etc. :17:
I was at a light yesterday evening and a traffic officer asked me about my bike. My Mandarin is pretty sketchy but I greeted him as politely as I know how and he asked me if the bike was mine and I said it was. He then he directed me aside and I obliged. I'm sure he was clearly and patiently asking for my license, but I didn't understand most of it so I just produced my passport and the registration for my bike. He continued asking about something (my license, I'm sure) so I pulled out my use license which has a motorcycle endorsement and basically said "see, motorcycle good". After looking at the license for about 5 seconds he asked me where I was from and I said I'm American and he let me go on through. Makes me think I need to find a little nearby city that can issue a real license.
Oh by the way, i wanna thank you all for talking about that, even if you're just trying to make fun of what i said (or should i say me?).
Somehow you did exactly what i wanted: talk about my trip.
Some of you here are so clever that i'll let you guess why this is what i want...
Please keep doing whatever you are thinking about, it helps me much more than you ever thought!

Falwew,
I just read the thread Shanghai to Paris and back in a Chinese sportcar and you should know that not everyone agreed with the posts by Inspector Clouseau even though some found it amusing to joke about his thread. If you have time, I recommend that you re-read the posts that were made by the rest of the members on your behalf.
I only really see two or three people who outright supported Inspector Clouseau in that thread, the rest seemed to either neutral or supportive of you.
I hope you don't give up on your thread mate.
Anyone heard of the French speed-biker :rolleyes1:
