..... i have no trailer

They have trailers because otherwise they cannot come. Up to 3000 km on Chinese Countryroads are no fun. I am in, riding, no tattoos, elderly german woman, riding a BMW Sidecar. I am a freak also

Trailers are great (although pickups are better IMHO) for moving off-road bikes around, as well as custom bikes to/from shows. Riding dirt bikes long distances is totally exhausting, and most custom bikes ride like shit. In China, one can also drag around their illegal bike, past the checkpoints.

Stripping off the business suit, and dressing up in a pirate costume with lycra tattoos is good for returning to our childhood Halloween memories. And acting like a redneck (it comes more naturally for some) can also be fun for a day. It helps one "fit in" at the local trash saloon (bad food, high prices, crotch-sniffing dogs roaming from table to table, and "attitude" that is thicker than those undercooked horse-meat patties laden with e-coli). Fake beards help too.

Anyways, scooters still rule! One can cram a lot of them onto a trailer!

Here is my new project:

How to ride in a group. At least I try to open their minds for safer riding. The hand sign part needs improvement. Next time I will capture videos for this.

Another reason I prefer to ride alone or having max. 2 other riders coming along..... The pirates going to be pretty busy doing the group riding thing this coming season......

It is about safty and this is a good thing. There is not one school in China, which trains how to ride a bike this size and weight. There is nobody to teach how to ride in a big group.
I believe the Harley chapters need to teach the beginners.
