How I bought my bike :) tons of photos

OK, I posted this thread on the chinariders site as I was waiting for my bike to arrive, then put it together and then took it out to ride. Thought you all here might enjoy seeing but I warn you, I took a TON of photos :)

On the adventure side, In 1974 I picked up a Ducati 860GTS at the factory in Bologna Italy, (which they modded for me while I watched it being built-a story in itself) and rode all over europe, and ultimately into Romania and finally what was then the Soviet Union. Not sure, but I *may* have been the first American allowed into the USSR unescorted. In any event, I've been around bikes a loooong time but this story over at chinariders illustrates my first shot at a chinabike.

As a followup to the story, the bike just keeps running better and better, and I'm frankly amazed that so much fun can be had for so little money. :)

Seer, welcome to here! (I'm a poet and didn't...know any better)

Seer,

Glad you're happy with the bike and am taking pics of your travels. Those are some nice pics! It would get more views here if you actually put the photos up on this site as searching through more than 10 pages of comments reduces the likely hood someone will actually view the work you've done.

Anywho, welcome to MCM! We've got some serious C-Moto riders on here as well and adventurers are always welcome! :thumbsup:
