Driving in Shanghai: Traffic lights, big avenues and one-way streets?

BTW, to set the record straight (although a few MCM members already know this). I confess that I own a Harley (actually, I somehow managed to buy a second). I also confess that I own black leathers & a black half helmet. And I also confess that my leathers have lots of HOG, HD and skull patches & pins on them (I even have a wallet with a belt chain!). And yup, I sometimes dress and act the pirate part. But, more than anything, I enjoy laughing at my ridiculous costume on top of an overweight frame (the bike, of course) ... it is all quite silly, to be honest. But I like it every now and then.

Then again, I also ride a painfully old & junky farmer Honda (125cc on a good day) with my farmer costume (one of those green army coats I bought to fight off the Harbin winters). Also lots of fun when I need to visit one of the jumbled markets on the outskirts of Beijing ... and I fit right in with the crowd, as I always have a smoke hanging from my lips (with its ash carefully kept in place - an amazing riding skill, perfected after years in China, of which I am proud of).

Some call me the Imelda Marcos of Beijing, but with bikes/costumes instead of shoes. :lol8:

OK, we all need a group hug ... but I ain't gunna be the guy in the middle. I do have a few basic standards.

We all need a good ride (not sure about the group hug tho), no harm done.

I'll be more careful, I wouldn't want to mess with someone fitting ur Harley days descrition.

Or maybe I would; since ur lack of neck tattoos and oversized moustache suggests you wouldn't mind...

Peace.
