Re: anybody in shanghai now?
Dear Lulu,
Greetings from Jing'an District. Welcome to Shanghai and very much looking forward to meeting you. There are quite a few of us MCM members here in Shanghai right now, and as you can see the weather is not great for riding.
Perfect time for a (No-)Bike Night. Perhaps tomorrow (Friday) evening? Food and drink somewhere?
Unless you can bring lots of girlfriends, you might find yourself on the uneven side of the men-to-women ratio. But that's OK. We are all motorcyclists!
Anyone else want to join us?
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
I'm in. Suggest you send PMs to the local guys (and girls), as they may not see this thread in the next 24hrs.
As for girls joining, sounds great. euphonius and I already met one girl capable of changing out spark plugs with their teeth:icon10: , but she's unfortunately no longer in Shanghai. So newcomers are more than welcome!
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
that"s great....meet tomorrow!where and when?
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
I have to say, we are a bunch of pathetic wimps here in Shanghai. Lulu, who rode more in her maiden ride this year than most of us ride in a year, comes all the way from Sichuan and we can't even organize a proper welcome! And it's perfect weather!
It's getting on toward six, and Lulu's probably already given up on us, but I'm bloody hungry and thirsty and this is one of most beautiful evenings in memory, so if there is anyone who is keen to show Lulu a proper welcome, there's maybe still time.
Where and when indeed!!
Ideas?
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
Update! Update!
With tonight's dinner apparently a bust, Motokai is proposing a weekend alternative:
Quote:
It's on! Full throttle! Full caffeine! The Shanghai Motorcycle Meet.
When: tomorrow morning (Saturday) @ 9:30 a.m.
Where: Starbucks 800 Changde Lu, near Changping Lu
What to bring: Your bike (and your hangover)
Dearest Lulu, we hope you can make it too. Come by metro if you don't have a bike! It's right next to the Changping Lu station on the No.7 line!!
Cheers!
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
how original, meet at Starbucks for the worst coffee in history like the poser HD crowd.
Have a nice weekend, going riding, ride safe, PAL
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
Pal, there might even be an HD or two there. You are welcome regardless. We don't discriminate.
Cheers!
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
i'll pass, thanks for the invite, bought bikes to get OUT of the city not INTO the city and hanging around Starbucks bikes parked out front is not my cup of tea!
ride safe, PAL
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
Hey Everyone,
Thanks for coming out today. Was a great opportunity to meet new friends and be sociable (we missed you lulu).
And also turned out to be a great spot to get together. As you know the venue was chosen because of the great motorcycle friendly parking lot out front - when management welcomes bikes, they can have my business anytime! ;)
Hope to see you guys (and gal) again soon. And for those who didn't have opp to come, nice people are always welcome in the future.
ride safe, Motokai

So does that mean Pal's not invited? Sorry Pal but you could be nicer in the forum, almost everything you say has some negative tint to it. I can't imagine you're like that in real life.
Edit: And actually their frappucino's are lovely. Their coffees shit tho you're right.
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
sorry i didnt see this eariler....but Saturda morning is heavy rain.....did u guys ride?
maybe see u guys tonight!
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
yea it was raining. I think that was the plan to trap us there all day. We just hung out there. No riding.
Sorry to hear your saying maybe about tonight. I think a lot of people would really like to meet you. In the flesh as it were.
Reminds me of something a hyper-intelligent being said recently
Mr.Clegg: "you know what God did with maybes?"
Mrs. Clegg: "No"
Mr. Clegg: "Exactly"
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
I definitely come tonight
I didnt see that event last time...
This time god not right,hehe
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
Love it when god screws up!
As for tonight's event, anyone who is predisposed to meet Lulu and a posse of other local MCM members, and quaff a bit of malt-based Belgian tipple, is welcome to join us. As it happens, we're crashing a soft opening event at a new establishment launched by a buddy of mine called Kaiba Tap Room. I've told my buddy, Rudy, that we are considering his fine (albeit nascent) Tap Room as a possible venue for future (No-)Bike Nights, and, hence, urged him not to spend a lot on fine china. Not that we are like all those other biker posses (the "pussy posses" that meet at Starbucks but don't ride)....
You're invited too, Pal!
Tonight's details:

Dear Beer Lovers and Kaiba VIPs,
We have some exciting news and a very special invite only event.
Please join us on Monday August 29th from 8:00pm to 10:00pm
for a complementary beer tasting and sneak peek at our news addition
Kaiba Tap House @ Taikang Terraces - This is all part of our soft opening to help us get ready
for our grand opening in September.
For this night only we will be sharing some of our newest additions to our beer menu as well
as a few special beers that we are just sharing with friends.
When: Monday August 29th 8:00pm until 10:00pm
Where: Kaiba Tap House
Dress Code: Beer Drinking Smart
Address: Please See Image Below
Room 202, Taikang Terrace, 169 Jianguo Zhong
(past 171, head east from the corner of Ruijin Lu towards Sinan Lu)
About Kaiba Tap House - Our newest location will remain focused on fine Belgian Beers as well as craft beers from around the world.
However there are a few differences about this location - it is a little larger, has a larger selection on Draught Beers and
when our kitchen opens we will have a wider selection of food for beer pairings. ( The food will come later after our grand opening )
Please help and RSVP by email so we can be prepared with enough beer and snacks. We hope to see you soon.
Thanks for all your support!
Kaiba! Open Please!
Please PM or text me at 18621893372 if you are keen to come but haven't registered already.
EDIT: Some of us, including Lulu, are looking to scare up a meal before heading to Kaiba Tap Room, and all and sundry are welcome to join us for that too. Alas, we've yet to select a venue, and are open to suggestions!
cheers!

to short notice, got other plans with visiting mates. Ride safe, PAL
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
damn, wish i could've been back in SH for this one.. i miss you guys!
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
aww. liza looks soo embarrassed (look at thse red chops) damn you jeff.
Sorry Lulu if you had difficulty sleeping, we forgot you were even there until about 7. Really sorry, felix is a shitty host and thinks not enough of his guests comfort.
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
Yes Jeff, look at my red chops! (I will be posting these pics on my blog as an aftermath to our trip, tnx!)
It was great fun and we should def do it again!!
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
You are welcome to post them, MissRose. Hope my calling you Clegg's "crash-test pillion" didn't cause the kind of connubial strife that would drive the good Corporal into actually having sex with Felix.
I thought the red chops were sexy.
Oh, and, what, did I miss a big five-way sleepover at Chez Mathivet?
Re: anybody in shanghai now?
No, no strife what so ever! That sleep over... I don't know if you missed anything since I wasn't there (I actually had to get up early and make some money haha)
