    I think we hear enough bad news about the government and motorcycles in China, so here's a little good news

    The Spring Festival Motorcycle Army - English from chinageeks

    Chinese - from sina.com.cn

    Cheers!

    Great story! Boy, I always hate to do a long ride with more than two, maybe three, other riders because every gas stop/bathroom break period expands exponentially with every rider added to the group. Can you imagine gassing up with this group!

    Yar, Wenling told me about this and I thought "Wow, that actually makes some sense."

    "There are no direct trains, two tickets on a bus would cost 600 RMB one-way [about $88 US], but driving a motorbike home is only 100 RMB [about $14 US] including gas expenses and tolls. Saving five-sixths of their expenses, they could save 1000 RMB total."

    Dan, well it's not exacty a pleasure ride... it's more like brothers and sisters just trying to get home to see their family. Considering the amount of gas they consumed, it would certainly be a tiny fraction of what it would have been if they were all in individual cars... not to mention the impact on traffic. Also, with a rally of riders that big, they likely pumped at least a little bit of money into every place they stopped. Either way, nice to see some two-wheeled homeys get some support!
