    Re: China > France (Spring 2015)

    Hey Julien,

    Which Benelli do you have? The new 600? Is it fitted with a Hu plate? How do you find the drive out of Shanghai every time to get to the good bits?

    Shanghai - Jing'an police increased efforts

    Just a quick heads-up that the Jing'an police department seems to be clamping down on non-Shanghai license plated bikes and cars. Please note that this is not an official report, but apart from my...

    Re: Hello

    Hey Jake,

    Expressways are not allowed for any motorbikes, no matter how powerful. It is something that frustrates most bikers you speak to, although I understand that some people use them at night...

    Re: Benelli BJ600GS early days review

    I've recently caught some online images of the GT version of the Benelli 600, and I have to say it is even nicer looking. I'm not a fan of top cases, but the lights, dash and amended tank extensions...
