the videos are finished and while preparing them I have had time to think about my own question: " how far you can ride a Chang Jiang "?
I believe they have done a fine job on this trip. Sometimes I forget that these bikes are "oldtimer", re ensembled with parts from Europe and China. The only "problems" are sitting on the bikes, because of not so very advanced mechanic skills.
Thomas is always doing a good repair job, but when it comes to the electric part we need help.

so, enjoy our trip from Beijing to Hohhot and back again!
