Hi all and greetings from Ireland.

This looks like a busy and friendly forum where hopefully I can learn lot's about motorcycling in China as a group of us from Ireland are hoping to visit in 2012 for 6 weeks of biking in your country.

I ride an 1150GS BMW and have just returned from a four week coast to coast ride across the US where I and other riders from Ireland and the UK covered 6500 miles (10K km) from west to east.

Prepare yourselves for what may seem like some stupid questions. I hope you are a patient bunch.
