Re: New rumor about Beijing motorbike ban inside 6th ring

Re: You truly can build Ducati from CFMoto 650

Thanks for the info LJH and it sucks that you're thinking of leaving. China will have one less ambassador for law-abiding, recreational motorcycling.

Grabbing someone by the neck and "abusing the crap out of them" is still tantamount to assault. But hey it's China, laws are rarely enforced here so I guess it's ok.
