My first mountain run-JH600
I've joined the motor group,The Exorcist,they organized a mountain run on 17 July,Chuandixia,Mentougou.I've been hesitating from Monday to Thursday,eventually,I've decided to join it according my wife's permission,so,my first mountain run is coming.
The reasons of hesitation:
1、Complete newbie:I've never touched motor before I went to Haidian Driving School;
2、Too short time to ride:just for 6 days ,500km after I got my motor from last Saturday;
3、Psychological shadow:four time fall down during six days' riding,a little psychological shadow to fall down again;
4、Mountain road:It's a difficult road situation to newbie as me,different condition from normal road,no experience about it;
5、Ride through express highway:I'm afraid I can't follow them.
But,it's a must to come for me,so ,I've decided to go at last.
There was a party on Friday night,to celebrate one friend's kid's full month,after dinner,my colleague called me to play majiang,god,it's a hard game to refuse,so,played with the two boring guys till 5am.It means I didn't sleep the whole night.
Nothing could stop me from this first time's mountain run.I arrived at the meeting place at 6:40am on Saturday,the gate of Tongzhou Hospital.
There were 13 motors gathered in tongzhou,lots of cool motors which I couldn't call the name.
Go,on the way,east and north ring6:

Dear Lion,
Very much looking forward to reading your post and seeing your pictures, but please please please please fix your method of posting pix. I think for many of us your previous thread was a wasted effort because none of your pictures could be viewed.
Now you've started a new thread and I can see only one picture!
thanks and cheers!

Is it better now?I can see all the pics in my computer,and another friend can see all the pics too,I'm totally confused.what's the problem?Thanks for you reminding
Re: My first mountain run-JH600
It's a bit better, but still many of your pix come up with a note saying 此图片限搜狐站内可见. So Sohu may not be the best place to host your pictures, unless you can make them available to anyone.
It may also be very difficult for MCM members who are not inside China to see pictures that are posted on a site that is inside the China firewall.
Think internationally!
cheers

Dear Lion,
Whatever you did it seems to be working now!
Great story, fun pix. Is it fair to say you are enjoying yourself and your new bike?
Thanks!

Re: My first mountain run-JH600
Dear Lion,
Fun stuff, but where are the pix of your own steed?
And a question: With all those guys riding international brands, including some very heavy artillery, how did they relate to you and your Jialing? Did they give you shit for having a Chinese bike, or did they admire you for placing your bet on the one of the best Chinese-made bikes? Or something in between?
I get that crap all the time. Everyone wants my JH600 to be a Harley, and when they find out it's a 国产 from Chongqing they get very confused! It's even more fun when Motokai and I ride somewhere together -- 两个老外骑国产车！Who is the bigger fool -- us making the best of what China has to offer, or them paying absurd, obscene prices for imported bikes, many of which seem not even to be legally registered?
Whatever you do, ride your own pace and don't be tempted to go beyond your own limits. Yes, some of those bikes go a lot faster than your Jialing. Who fucking cares?
Ride safe!
cheers
Re: My first mountain run-JH600
Lion:
Those are great pics, and congratulations on getting out and enjoying the ride!
One of the nicest things I see about Chinese riding clubs is that EVERYONE is welcome ... from scooters to Goldwings, and everything in between. Yes, THAT is what riding is all about!
Get out, ride, enjoy, make new friends ... and ALWAYS ride safely.
Looks like a LOT of fun. Ah, I miss my Goldwing sitting back in Canada. They are nice on an expressway. BUT ... I still firmly believe that for fun in China's mountains & roads, nothing beats a JH600! Fun in the city? My scooter!
Again, thanks!

There are some very heavy artilleries,most of them are,but not all those guys riding international brands,don't you see some scooters there?Actually,I don't understand what do you mean by "how did they relate to you and your Jialing? ",It's my first time to join this group ride,I just see everybody smiles,happiness,and relaxation,no arrogant or scorn to somebody who rides small motor,I don't know whether they admire my JH600,just like I don't know whether I admire these artilleries,I just know we are friends through riding motor,it doesn't matter what kind of motor you ride.Everybody has their own choice,meeting strangers and making friends and enjoying the enjoyment are the key point.Maybe it can show something,one situation like that,group ride through traffic,I ride so slowly to avoid hit the cars,and I think I got lost,but when I struggled to pass the traffic,see four guys waiting for me beside the road(maybe wait more than thirty minutes),cause they didn't want to lose anyone.When I ride out from the gas station,I can't cross the road cause my bad skill and lots of cars on the road,one member who I don't know him actually,stand on the road,stop the car to help me ride out safety......

I think it's normal for foreingers riding jh600 or some motors made in China,the opposite is normal too,just depends on their choice and their interesting.It's not big deal in my opinion.

Thanks for your reminding.One of members from this group told me,after you ride around 5000km,you just know your motor,20000km you konw better,50000km you master it,I'm on the way.
cheers

Re: My first mountain run-JH600
Maybe it's a mistake to show these pix here,but I promise,they are't 飞车党。。。
Re: My first mountain run-JH600
Hey "Lion" -
Great photos! I'm glad you had fun and congratulations on your first ride. :) I love your descriptive words of "psychological shadow"....cool way to describe "fear" or "insecure" or whatever you wanted to describe....I get it. And no worries - you will be comfortable on the bike in no time!
I got a bit of freeway time myself when I was home for a few days. It's so fun...but still missing enduro action!
Take care and safe riding!
Meow
Re: My first mountain run-JH600
Hi Meowzedong...how awsome your name is!
I have read your thread "Yunnan, Sichuan, Gansu, Qinhai, XinJiang (YSGQX) Ride ",admire you so much,girl on the bike,have a trip alone,what an awsome adventure,I hope I will have an adventure，travel alone,like you.
"Psychological shadow",心理阴影，whatever,you can understand me,it's the most important.
Expect your next adventure,have fun and keep safe.
Cheers.
Lion.
