My wife enjoyed it as much as i did. She loves the countryside and really enjoyed all the banter from the motor fans group. They're a really nice bunch and we're both looking forward to the next ride. I discovered that she's actually a lot tougher than i am, i had wet feet for 3 days and she'll tell you that i did nothing but moan.

I'll be sure to buy water proof riding boots for the next one....plastic bags and tape just don't cut it.

LJH's useless riding tip # 37:

For waterproofing at speed, only use Carrefour bags & the orange 3M duct tape.

Provided as a public service, no charge.

PS: Yup, my sweety's tougher than me too.

lol...

Here's a Youku vid of us riding down Anji mountain. It's 11 minutes but after 3 mins my wife turns the camera so the rest is shot upside down.
It's a real shame, it could have been a nice vid.

We took some shorter vids that i reckon will be more interesting, i'll post them soon.

Hope it works. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjc0MDU0NDEy.html

Thanks for the post dewsnap, good to see that neither rain, broken ribs nor weary wives are keeping you off the road!

This is us crossing the Huangpu river on a little bridge in the rain. All those hours on the wooden planks doing the bike test actually paid off. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjc0MDU0NDEy.html

Another short vid of us riding in convoy up the moutain. If you look carefully you'll see two CJ750's coming down in the opposite direction. Brave men!
