    Re: Selecting a bike for triping

    If you want a bike for touring China, get one that can be repaired anywhere, a basic 125/150cc will do the job. May be a fancy local trail 200/250cc but there is no need for more.

    Re: Hard vs soft luggages for long trips

    I did my South West China tour with an ordinary wheeled travel bag carrying more or less 30kg of gear.

    Re: Few weeks in South West China

    Hello Milton,

    Check the first ride reports of CrazyCarl, ChinaV or Franki.

    In my opinion doing it solo is the best way. Not always easy but very rewarding.

    Re: Prep for Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu and beyond

    Hi,

    Removing the air filter (and even the air box cover) is perhaps not the best idea but it helps a lot with the altitude.

    I did that during my tour on the Sichuan plateau where the roads are...

    Nice to see that you still have your trusty Suzie.
