looking for Honda Goldwing Jing A plates

[Lao Jia Hou]

... a bit of broken spine bone floating around that was 'encapsulated' for twenty years until recently has been pressing on the spinal column thing. which hurts. That not so much the problem, just that me left leg stops working every now and again.

Ouch is right! BTW, they have great massages in China ... very medicinal.

Just to keep on topic - I may have to get a Goldwing/two-wheeled armchair myself! Hmm, maybe Chinabride could learn to ride and I could get a side-car with built in bar?

A group of us play in a band we call "The Sidecars", out at the Iron Horse Cafe (next to Jimbo's Custom Sidecar shop). Jim can build anything related to sidecars. For example, when we are out on our road trips ...

Therefore, a Wing with a side-wing, piloted by a lovely sweety ... TIC ... anything is possible!

Much as I do appreciate music, listening to Mille Jackson right now, that image put my recovery back a month. I shall be scared to stop off in Beijing, being a meek and mild sort of a bloke.

Hope you recover swiftly jape, chopping all that wood should slip those discs right back into place!

There's always some idiot who forgot their atgatt and makes the rest of us look bad!

I just realized a solution to Yves' problem: Become a Beijing police officer! You'll be able to ride a Goldwing all day! :)

I guess that the only way ! i will have to work on my facial expressions to be less french looking to pass the police officer test ;)

[CantDecide]

Are the Iron Horse Cafe and Jimbo's Custom Sidecar shop accessible via the subway or bus or anything? I want to come out and check them out, but I'm pretty my e-bike won't make it that far!

Hi Yves,

Have you found your Goldwing?
Cheers

Hi Orange Rider,

i still have not found a Legal Goldwing. I gave up a while ago getting busy riding other bikes lately.
Anyway, i am still curious about finding a Goldwing.

Cheers,

Ride safe,

Yves

Bonjour Yves !

We are located in Shanghai (Hongqiao) and are opening this month a 620sqm shop called Powersports Distribution.
We just sold 2 Goldwing (no ABS version). We have another one coming full options but airbag in white but already sold.
We ofcourse deliver with plate (Shanghai) and insurance. I'll have to check if we can arrange directly a Beijing plate for you.
In any case, we'll provide you Customs papers and CCC docs if you want to handle registration by yourself upthere.

Just let me know what kind of options & color and we'll make you an offer with price & leadtime.
We also have a couple of K1600GTL (full options)... They rock !

If you are interested, pls call me at 18616859769.
Cheers

Dear David,

Wow! This is most impressive, and good on you for doing this. I'll suppress my intense curiosity about how you get these berthas into China and properly papered, but I will say it's extremely encouraging that you've found a method.

Are you setting up shop only as a importer/distributor, or will you have a showroom, parts and service too? Only for Honda? Do you have a hand in the recent news that Suzuki will be importing some heavy thunder (Hayabusa!!)? Other brands? (You did mention the big bimmer, though BMW already has several authorized importers in Shanghai and Beijing.)

Would love to visit your operations, and I expect I'm not the only Shanghai denizen who would!

cheers!

Hi,

We are offering a multi-brands experience under one roof. Besides a couple of Beemer models, we also get some special babes from KTM and more on the way.
We can basically supply anything you want.
Busa is not in stock but can be ordered.

Just give me a ring when you want to drop by.
At this stage, soft opening only.
Greetings,

DAVID
