Peace and quiet at the resort before the bikers arrived.

Dear Friends:
Hi, my name is Mark and i am actually living in Dongguan ( Guangdong). I just saw ur pics and since it seems the route was made starting by Dongguan i am wondering if anyone of u are from here. I have been living here the last two years and i should say i already gave up about drive a bike but... just in case... In Spain i was driving Harley Davidson. I have got already chinese car driving license. The only i know is Motos are banned in Guangdong Province, but i think always there is a "B" way to do everything. And i think i saw something about handle everything in a place like Chengdu or Xiamen where Bikes are allowed. Any information will be very much welcome.

As long as you only want to ride outside of Dongguan, there are plenty of options available, but if you're interested in owning a motorcycle for daily transportation, I would think about moving to another city. :sad:
Cheers!

Welcome the board, Shul. Whether you know it or not, and even a casual read of MCM will demonstrate it in spades, ChinaV is the reigning oracle of motorbiking in China. Or at least one of them.
:gerg:
Now, ChinaV, remind us again exactly how many motorcycles you own there in Dongguan?
:dirtbike::
Apropos of nothing, I was there a couple of years ago on the day of the grand opening of the first drive-through McDonalds. Not just the first in Dongguan, but the first in China. Alas, I was on a bus, and I doubt the driver would have stopped, even if I'd had a mind to, which I didn't.
:bs:
cheers
A few, but it's time to thin the herd. One MCM'er is coming over on Friday to have a look at buying something. If anyones interested, everything but the V-Strom is up for sale.Quote:

ChinaV, you had me worried there till the last sentence. Was thinking, what with the marriage and all, you might be turning the garage into a nursery...Quote:

First come first serve, XTR is mine!
Teleport me to Guangdong and I'll ride now. I'm selling my Shineray, even if I sell it for half price.
Looking forward to Friday, seems someone beat me to the call.
Hi ChinaV, and nice to meet all of u, guys. I know here is banned, and that really piss on me. Yes, i like both things, i mean, i like make off road on weekend, and that can be an option, but i really miss, as u said, a "daily-use" bike. I have a brazilian friend here, Andru, he has a 400cc or 600cc and ride often around city. That is totally forbidden but... it seems he didnīīt got any problem ever before. is he Lucky? or maybe cops donīt care about us? Anyway, change city is not my idea yet, and change local regulation seems pretty difficult. So, hope to know more about what u do on weekend and around where... What about some beers one night?
Hi Euphonius. Nice to meet u too.
Oh Gosh! U hav 4 bikes? in the moto-forbidden city? Well, thatīs cool... Where do u ride ur V-storm? I really need a beer and get more info... Vīs!
