    Are you cold and suffering from motorcycle riding withdrawal? It's the dead of winter and many are living in less than favorable riding weather here in China. Why not take a train, plane or bus down to Guangdong and spend a couple days riding around. The weather is pretty nice and I have a couple bikes sitting here that need to be ridden. Plenty of room in the house for guests, free food and beer, and a very laid back atmosphere at hotel ChinaV.

    There's really no catch here, just interested in hanging out, riding around, and swapping war stories with some fellow MCM'ers.

    Cheers!

    sweet. flights from shanghai seem cheap enough. i have many questions:

    how would the 29th-31st weekend suit?
    is the trip from guanzhou airport to dongguan painless enough?
    if could get a late plane friday, do you mind if i arrive at 1 in the morning?
    prefer a two day ride with camping, or two one day rides?
    the S355 over nankun shan looks like a lot of fun from google earth, is it?
    i'm not a rapist, can i presume the same for you?

    I'd love to come down there, ride some bikes and drink some beer, but the wife won't allow that!
    Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.

    Wives are welcome too, maybe explain how important riding is to good mental health .

    this whole thing is making me think; is there such a thing on the internet as a biker equivalent of couch surfing?

    It would be like a big community of fantastic people like ChinaV from all over the world who sign up and say "i've got a couple of bikes out here in wherever, come down for a couple of days and we'll go riding". Basically like what masterV did here.

    Does such a thing exist, or is it a horribly irresponsible and dangerous idea?

    Felix,

    The nature of riding and riding in China is such that it may be better to keep these kinds of offers to a focused community. There are plenty of go fast, look cool, I'm on summer break, "go get me laid and ride without helmets cuz' I'm so bad-ass", riders out there. They may be all polite and thankful up front but really they're all about number one. As usual, it depends on the individual but I'd definitely have some level of screening/vetting before handing keys over to anyone who plans to ridden in China... esp. if they haven't ridden there before.
