very gracefull dismount there china
Haha fair play to you both! I don't know what's funnier, Andy stuck in that hole or the noise you made when you hit the ground! Thank you very much for simultaneously making me happy and ruining my day by reminding me where i'm stuck. Well at least i don't have dirt in my arse...
I think it may be a CC only, bbcode_video template change (as in http://phpmotion.com/forum/index.php?topic=2658.0) where there are video template width and height parameters shown in a template. I had a look through the reference manual but couldn't make head nor tail of most of it!Quote:

Video looks good on my laptop, is that the last piece of single track in houjie? If so I need to ride it before it gets the concrete treatment!
Here's hoping for a few warm days at Chinese new year!!

Well, finally just finished 10 days straight work after the new year, so I guess it's time to post my 2 cents and wobbly pictures as well. First of all, big thanks to ChinaV for the ideal way to spend Christmas! Motorbikes, BBQ, Motorcycles, Mass quantities of TsingTao, Motuo Che, Mates, Riding said motorcycles - :riding: Good fun was had by all!!
We did some pretty aggressive riding both with the ladies riding pillion on the first day and solo on the 2nd day. We were blessed with no casualties other than some riding pride (that'd be my riding pride) and a busted footpeg claimed by The Pit (yup, my footpeg).
I can't say enough about the QM 250. Just a great thrashable little bike. Suspension does a great job on-road and feels good off-road as well. Looking forward to throwing the 21" front and 18" rear on with a set of knobblies and seeing how it really goes in the dirt. As ChinaV mentioned, I had my "first time" in the dirt, and LOVED IT. Bug is caught, riding future will never be the same :icon10:
Now on to my pics. We started off with some bike wrenching that went well -

Cheers!

Another weekend update...just a bit of enduro riding with andy74rc. The TGR's are holding up well to our frequent abuse and each weekend we seem to find something new to test our (lack of) skills.

The motorcycles set us free from the smog bowl bellow.

Someone needs to develop a "hill cam", some kind of camera that accurately represents how steep a hill climb is. We found a new horse trail that ended up being a real battle as the front wheels were constantly up in the air on the steep terrain.
