Re: Shineray 重庆鑫源摩托车股份有限公司
I take your point Doc , perhaps the dealer has never heard of the concept of "you bend it , you mend (buy)it." Regardless of who a bike belonged to I would pay for any damage I caused. But of course he has no way of knowing that. If he had asked for a deposit prior to a ride I would have been ok with that.
The dealers snotty attitude just pissed me off

IMO the reluctance of Chinese dealer allowing one to take a test ride maybe he has no more faith in the product that he is selling then you as a buyer ? would I need to test ride a BMW F800GS, I don't think so, would you need to test ride a Chinese bike? for what to find out "it's a piece of shit" I already know that , but it still would be nice to find out to what degree........

Locally Ducati held a test ride weekend, they allowed anyone with a MC endorsement and insurance to take any model for a 20 mile ride, they ran groups of about 15-20 test riders every hour. They mapped a nice route.
Here is an article from 2011, a young American woman took a tour at Shinerays factory in Chongqing. I was researching dormitory housing for Chinese factories and came across it. This article touches on live work factories, stating that at Shineray 70% of the factories workers reside in factory provided dormitories. It also touches on attempts at integrating the migrant workers into local communities.
The Chinese manufacturing centers are very dependent on a 24hr live work relationship in their factories. These in some cases are ran by militaristic managers, pressuring works to perform.
