Jape, am trying to satisfy you by posting some photos you requested.

CMC is such a fun forum. loving it!!
i relocated to shanghai almost 5 years, in 2008 i bought my first bike in guangdong thru the internet, it was a honda 1992 vtr250. this is my second black market bike in shanghai.

i painted it matt black, changed bigger tires both front and rear.

this is what it looks like now.

Now you move to 'premium member class' immediately. See, it wasn't hard, just give us stuff to drool over, bikes or girls. Thank you.

The TR is a true classic to my eyes, much better than the Woodsman and you have done it proud. Many of the cafe racers and retro-styled bikes look like crap, this is just great. You will have seen a few Shanghai riders here meet up, I hope you join them and have fun.

There is a moire pattern in the digital photo, made me think you had expanded the header pipe for over revs? But just an artifact of the photo.

Throwing down the gauntlet, are we, ChinaV? Yes, a twisty road here is a forbidden gaojia onramp, but think of the thrills for those of us who sneak on!

Not to mention flying puke...

Welcome, indeed, bbc. Don't be a stranger. We've got dozens of members here in Shanghai, and do our best to have fun despite the riffraff.

cheers

thanks everyone!

CMC is such a great forum, will keep coming back regularly.

Too many knocks on the head? its MCM ...
Not to worry, you are welcome and we look forward to hearing more of your exploits and experiences.
If you can't get that bike registered, you could always ship it to me in Aus ...

Very nice pictures. I find this concept of combining high status chicks with low status bikes very amusing and interesting worth to study more. It is so wrong in traditional bike photography.


Edit: Would be interesting also to study low status women with high status bikes.

any options? either lend me a better bike or i ask my cousin to post for me.

Have to disagree there, that's a very nice picture he started the thread with! (I wish the jpeg quality was a bit higher though) You don't need a mountain behind the bike to take a good picture, which is handy because you won't find one out here.

Furthermore, i don't think you need to write a novel to be welcome on the forum. If bbc just wants to say hello and show us a pic of his bike i'm cool with that.
