    Looking for a motorcycle license school in Beijing. A post on the Beijinger:

    http://www.thebeijinger.com/forum/20...tes-in-Beijing

    The post seems pretty helpful in condensing information, but the poster mentions Lao Shan training school is the only school for a foreigner to go. The 1,560 registration fee seems a little expensive and I didn't know if this is just an ad for the school.

    Anyone know of a better place or is planning to get their license in Beijing soon?

    I can get by with my Chinese, but is 1,000+ kuai a fair price for registration? Is this the only place?

    I've been putting this off, but I now have a steady cash stream coming in that will allow me to purchase a bike. I'm leaning towards the Qingqi QM200GY.

    Anyone know if the plate situation in Beijing has changed recently. Will I still look to pay 8000 kuai for a Jing A plate? Will I have to get a new Qingqi to apply for one?

    Just got back in the country so looking to check it out this week or next week. In December I tried to find 海淀驾校, but gave up when I was lost. Anyone go to another place besides Lao Shan? Also wanted to ask if the new laws on cars this year also affect bikes? I think I'll settle for a JingB over JingA plate.

    It's very easy to get to Lao Shan. You take subway line 1 to Bajiao amusement park. Walk out of the subway and make sure you're on the opposite side of where the hospital is! If so, turn left and walk a couple of hundred meters along the mainstreet until you can turn left into a street (at a T-junction), walk 50 meters into that street and wait till a white van shows up. It will take you there for free!! It has a sign with 4 characters behind the front window!
