    Just passing the good news around ...

    These may exist in the Chinese community, somewhere, somehow, but this is the first I have seen anywhere in China that has a "foreign-friendly" twist to it.

    Jim Bryant of Jimbo's Classic Sidecars is hosting a Beijing bikers party on Saturday, July 3, complete with a live band.

    If you're going to be in Beijing, it should be worthwhile ... here's an email from him ...

    =============
    Hi,
    Well it's official, The Iron Horse Saloon is officially open.
    Saturday July 3rd we're celebrating the opening by having a live band, a
    motorcycle and parts swap meet, burn outs, and anything else you can do
    with a bike.
    Date: Saturday, July 3, 2010
    Time: About 10:00 AM until late
    Location: The Iron Horse Saloon (next to Jimbo's Classic Sidecars on
    Tian Bei Road in Shunyi (about 5 kms North of the Luo Ma Roundabout)
    Look for it on the link to Google maps at <www.bmwsidecar.com>
    Food: Burgers, Buffalo Wings, Tacos, Burritos, Hot Dogs, Cold Beer

    If you've got a bike or parts to sell bring em and if you've got parts
    in mind you want to buy, bring your wallet
    Pass it around- the more the merrier
    ===============

    You might get a chance to meet some MCM celebrities (e.g., hopefully Andy & Sabine will be there), and members of the local biker "gangs"

    Cheers, Richard

    see you there!

    Looks like fun, nice little video Sabine. Did you know the background music comes from Jim's (and my) home state of New Hampshire? Coincidence?

    Cheers!

    that I didn`t know, it`s coincidence. It`s hot summer in Beijing and the song fits fine.

    Haha ... Sabine, you made me a celebrity too!! I'm in the movies now ... ah, fame, fortune. If my momma could see me now! Next, I want to be on "The Cover of the Rolling Stone" (well, The Beijinger might suffice)

    Always interesting times at Jim's ... that guitar in the video was brought over by Mike from Gibson Guitars ... it is an original 1936 Gibson Century of Progress, currently owned by Elvis Costello (I tried to steal it, but Mike's got eyes like a hawk).

    C u folks on Saturday.

    Thanks, you guys are great. We had a rehearsal jam session tonight and will have another on Friday night. The public is welcome. Then Saturday it kicks off at 10:00 AM. I'll be ditching my arm sling too. Hope to see you there.
    Regds,

    Sunday, 3rd July 2010, the Iron Horse Saloon has had it`s grand opening. it was a very hot day with temperatures above 40 degree/C. we enjoyed cold drinks, the "new born" Iron Horse Revival Band, Rock`n Roll and the sound of our motorbikes.
    a fine Biker Batch and we all are waiting for the next one.



    (streaming is a little bit slow this days. let it run a little bit, wait a moment and pull the "Timeline Button" back to the beginning.)

    Sabine, another great video job!! Thanks for doing this, but we rarely see YOU in any of the videos. Next time, we'll swap my guitar for your camera, and maybe I can capture you serenading us with some great European songs?!

    In fact, the "band" is playing next Thursday night (with a special, surprise guest appearance), so maybe You, Thomas and Andy can harmonize on vocals ... we'll follow. Everyone is invited to witness this rare and wonderful occurrence!

    As before, always good food, good drink, good people, and good times at the Iron Horse Saloon ... a million thanks to Jim Bryant & his wife Jiao for making it happen ... and to their talented son, Eric, on guitar! (Another Eric Clapton in the making, complete with a Fender Strat).

    Richard

    Sabine, great video - job well done! The opening party looked like a lot of fun, and well attended with a great selection of bikes. The band sounded fab too, though I wonder what time of the day that was held, as it seems quite early? Anyway I'm envious... ;)
