    Re: Bike on a Train?

    Noticed that your "Location" is India. Maybe you could give us a pointer or two for motorcycle traveling in India.

    Re: Shanghai - Jing'an police increased efforts

    You meant to tell us for 30 meters in SH you took out your JH600, a real pig of a bike, and rode it to the store? You deserve a ticket! :naughty: :naughty:
