    Finally back on wheels!
    My wife and I decided to go for the Yamaha YBR250 after we drove the YBR125 from Shanghai to Europe and it was a good and reliable bike.
    Our plan was to go to Jiuhuashan in Anhui but as the weather report wasn’t promising we headed to Jingzhou in Hubei province.

    Day 1


    Day 2


    Day 3


    Family unification


    Boats on Donting Hu at Yueyang




    Gloves against sunburn




    Visiting places of social harmony and stability in Shishou.

    TokyoKid,

    Thanks for the pics. My wife is from HengYang, which is not far ChangSha, so I've been around that area a few times. Looks like you had perfect clear skys for such an event.

    My real question is: Where do I find your ride report about riding a YBR125 from ShangHai all the way to Europe? That sounds like a good adventure.

    Cheers,

    Dan k.

    My immaturity makes it impossible for me to look at the boats in these pictures without snickering

    Sorry, great pictures TokyoKid, thanks very much for sharing.
