    Likewise but this is good news regardless. China is becoming slightly more tolerant of foreigners who have their own will.

    :popcorn: That is exactly what I want... and it's a Honda ^^.

    Sounds nice LJH. I Don't regret getting the YBR, however, if I had held off until now then I would definitely get the Suzuki.

    I haven't been up on the express-ways to try my luck but the traffic on the main roads has definitely thinned a little.

    It's worth a gander. No harm in riding up to the booths for a quick look. It's not like we can't slip past the traffic that would be queuing up.
