I'm not much of an expert, but I think 越野车 （YueYeChe) is commonly used for off-road vehicles. That's what my mate describes the Shineray as.

If that doesn't work, try 越野摩托车

And it comes with a RAM swivel mount like this;...

Hey Zhu,

1300元 should do it. It's about half the price I got it for off Taobao last year, but it's a bit of a pain to use because the unit only reads English (Spanish, Portuguese and French too),...

Hi everyone,

My work contract has finished and I'm leaving China soon, but first I need to pass on my first China-bike, a Shineray 200cc Long March. I was planning on driving this one around...

I'm going to the factory on Saturday to test-ride the bike an ask some questions. I'll take along the questions posted on this thread and hopefully someone can answer them.

Cheers

Hey Mik, welcome to MCM and being a bike owner in China. I'm in Chongqing most of the time. We should definitely meet up for a beer sometime and sort out a ride or two. Just PMed you

Thanks mate, I'm glad that it's useful for something:lol8: PM me if I can help you with anything

Cheers

Thanks for your comments the whole way through lightend, they're really appreciated:thumbsup:

Will you be driving through Chongqing on your ride?

Thanks Maux, it was a lot of hard work. I spent more time writing and mucking around with photos than I did on the bike:eek2:.

Great looking bike you've got now. Congrats!

Thanks for taking the time to read it:thumbsup:

Thinking back over the trip, It almost feels as though we never did it. After a couple of months of acclimatization back in Chongqing, the reality...

Tongliang to Chongqing – Day 102 - 18th June, 2011

I was up and gone early in the morning. I walked to the hostel, with the help of my GPS because it was quite far away, and I was walking around...

Jianyang to Tongliang – Day 101 - 17th June, 2011

We continued driving through the lush countryside of the Sichuan basin. It was another dreary, overcast day, with the odd light rain shower.
...

Cheers mate. I know it's a bit of a read and I'm glad that you're enjoying it.

I'm guessing Dushanzi -> Ermaoqiao would be quite impossible this time of year. Are you still getting snow up there?...

Ya’an to Jianyang – Day 100 - 16th of June, 2011

We said thanks and goodbye to our friends. Lifan told us that we needed to be in Chongqing on Saturday morning, because they were arranging a...

Kangding to Ya’an – Day 99 – 15th June, 2011

The day’s destination was Ya’an, a mere 190 kilometres away, to meet Yifan, a university student who had contacted me a couple of weeks earlier. I...

Nothing ever beats being there:thumbsup:

I'm always shocked/impressed when I see Chinese welders at work. I wonder how long a welder's eyes last when they don't use the right protection.

Mazi to Kangding – Day 98

The roads were even worse than the day before. The dust clouds raised by the massive wheels of the trucks that passed us had me holding my breath.
...

Garze to Mazi – Day 97

Pat had followed the S217 down to Litang, while we were to take the most direct route to Kangding, the G317. Christine (Meowzedong) had warned us about a seriously bad road...

Manigango to Garze – Day 96

After getting up fairly late, we had thoughts of driving up to Derge, one of the three ancient centres of T*betan culture (along with Lhasa and Xiahe), but had to...

Manigango: Bike rescue – Day 95

Goal for today: rescue the bike, again.

The first, and possibly most important, achievement of the day was getting out of bed. I felt like I nearly broke myself...

Shiqu to Manigango – Day 94

We woke to another cold morning. I collected the washing I did the night before from the washing lines and we packed up the bikes.

We finished breakfast and at 10am...

They were quite happy to let us take photos at the places we visited, but we may just have been lucky with the people that we met.

I wasn't too clear on the whole cultural-no-no foot-pointing...

There were a couple of times where we both thought about separating, and it took a fair amount of willpower to keep things together. I signed up for a Lulu-and-I round trip in Chongqing, and I...

Cheers! Lulu was the one to have the foresight to take the time to take pictures and video. At that point nothing mattered more to me than to get to the end of the road.
