At noon on September 2nd, 2005 Sohyun, Herbert and me flew from Beijing to Kunming. Helen, my wife, was already there for a week to visit her family and Claudio with his girl friend followed in the evening.

Approaching Kunming


The clever marketing girl from the BMW dealer in Kunming arranged some 7 series BMW limos to pick us up, handed us flowers and also brought some photographers and TV guys along.

Unpacking

Re-assembly

After we'd finished all three bikes we filled up and transferred them to the hotel, waiting for my wife, Claudio and his girl friend.

We had a late dinner together after they finally arrived, and were pretty excited about the days to come
