05-27-2012, 09:42 AMDear Fahni,
Can you give us a quick post to say the bike arrived ok, that you extricated it from quarantine and that you now are blissfully blasting through Sichuan?
A picture or nine wouldn't hurt either!
Thanks, and cheers!jkp

Hey Euphonious, thanks for asking.
I am having a ball!
Bike pick-up in Chengdu without any problems other than the bike would'nt start for half an hour. Wasn't the missing gas. 200 before I reached the gas station, it fired up. First three days great. Huanglong scenic area is a dream. Found camping spots, braved the rain. My electric starter is not working anymore, but hey, what are kickstarters for, right? Bike is having problems at altitudes higher than 3000m but is still holding up.
The only thing that is giving up on me is my Samsung Galaxy S II. It just keeps turning off without any reason. So my recorded tracks are a little bit of a patchwork at the moment...
No good internet access here in Songpan. So the pictutes have to wait.
Greetings and more news later...------------------------------

Hey guys!
All is well with me. I am in Huixian (Gansu). Pretty roughed up after a lot of dirt roads (and dirt tracks) but in high spirits for tomorrow. Expect to hit Xi'an on Tuesday. So if any MCM member in Xi'an want to meet, let me know!
Cheers!------------------------------

I did it! I am in Xi'an! After 2800km. Now I'm gonna treat myself with some hard-earned Yangrou Paomuo and a (couple of) beers:-)
