Re: Why did they ban Motorcycles
It's China. To be harmonious everyone MUST love the country, MUST love the party and MUST aspire to be a kind of black car limo driving executive business-class golf playing lawyer type, or if you are not must pretend to be. White shirt check, belt hoisted to navel check, slip on shoes check, side parted hair check black Audi A6 check.
It's up to the Chinese motorcyclists and motorcycle industry to lobby the government, especially local government.

Hi Buddy
According to your recent posts about "swimming pools", "Chinese computers" and other opinions you've posted in the TIC as well as in other threads, I think your time has come .....

Exactly right. How many people do you think die a year in China because a driver confuses the brake pedal with the gas pedal? 100? 1000? 10,000? more? That's surely a sign that there's something seriously wrong. Saying it's 'driving style' is just face saving self delusion.

Meh, just venting. And yes I have nearly had enough of China, on some days.....

Re: Why did they ban Motorcycles
Maybe I am not up to speed with the new "web journalism" but after reading this I do not know if this actually happened, or if this was some kind of street art, or perhaps street art modeled on an actual accident. The pictures look genuine, particularly the final image that seems to show that one bike jumped the curb and ploughed into a standard. If these are real pictures of a real accident, this site Sinopathic has gone far, far beyond mere shamelessness and should rebrand themselves SinoPathetic. Or just shut down and go reflect on their own startling lack of humanity.
I'd welcome a story that just tells what happened.
