No worries. I called them today and they confirmed that they have most of the gear advertised on their website in stock including large sizes. I'm driving up from Tianjin in the next day or two to go...

Thanks, LJH. Will give them both a try, I also came across this link in one of the earlier threads: http://www.wldamotor.com/index.htm

Hi All, does anyone know where I can buy a decent pair of MX or Trial riding boots in Beijing? Looking for Sidi, Gaerne or something similar.

Hi MM, I've been on a business trip for the last two weeks, plan to visit the Traffic police next week. Will update the fred as things unfold.

Thanks, if I can get my paws on a Dakar I'd be a very happy camper. Second choice would probably be a JL600. Meantime I'm planning on visiting the Tianjin traffic police next week re getting my bike...

Thanks for that. The rally kit for the WR450 is pretty pricey, I was hoping that JinCheng had launched a cheaper version of a full on Rallye bike based on a Japanese platform but alas, it just a wolf...

This is the bike the Chinese guy used in the 2011 Dakar. Is it sold in China?

I stopped at the Canyon Lodge for a late breakfast and as I was leaving the Cape Town BMW Club pulled up, they were on their way to the viewpoint and invited me to ride along with them.

On the way to the Fish River Canyon. Namibia had massive rainfalls this summer so the roads had loads of soft sand in the low lying areas and was washed away in places.

On the way to the Ai-Ais hot springs. And my camp at the Hot Springs camp ground. I had just pulled up, hot as hell, when a fellow with a 4x4 camping on the site next door wondered over with an ice...

Still trying to figure out how to make the descriptions visible, will post more later.

Thanks for the welcome and reply, MM. Actually I was at the 'main' traffic license station and I did talk to more than one policeman but, at the time I was not as desperate to get the bike license as...

Hello All, I just joined this forum today, here goes with my first post.
