Anyone familiar with this MC Rally?
Howdy All,
My wife and I are returning for another China trip at the end of this month. Came across this Motorcycle Rally ("Motorsport Cultural Festival") in Wuhan County, Jiangxi Province. Anyone been to one of the previous ones, or planning to go this year? Starts on October 5, 2018. We're planning to attend.

Re: Anyone familiar with this MC Rally?
Well... I guess no one was familiar with it. My wife and I went anyway. It was held on the grounds of a resort near to Wuyuan, Near to Huangshan and about 100 miles west of Hangzhou.
I was surprised at the number of Big-buck BMW GS's present, but there was also a good selection of 650-750cc Chinese models from Benelli, and a smattering of smaller Chinese bikes (I saw a couple of RX3's) and some other European ones. Here are some pics:

No idea what this one is, but looks interesting. It's got that lower case "a" like Aprillia uses, but on closer inspection it is "Apriso" LOL.

Ran into Mr Zhang here with his Ural GearUp. As a multiple URal owner I was gad to see one here in China. I later saw another Ural (Retro) model, but didn't catch up with the rider.

They had some hooligan stunters riding on the main plaza. I wasn't able to figure out if they were official entertainment or just run of the mill hooligans. No safety barriers of course.

I'm liking the look of these Benelli's:

The rest of the photos from this trip are your standard tourist fare, so I won't bore you all with them here.
