TP China (Shanghai)

They had the Carbon Confederate bike running today sitting on the bike lift as they had a prospective buyer in the shop in the morning, true or false, don't know.

Nothing wrong with the shop and have seen similar set-ups in North America, Europ, Asia - Pacific......

TP-China has a few Confederate bikes sitting in the Beijing dealership / workshop out in Shunyi (near Beijing Capitol Airport) and the Shanghai shop has a 500+sqm. basement as well with parts and bikes......

They are selling Zero Engineering Japan choppers as well: http://zero-eng.com / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinya_Kimura

I guess we missed out seeing/hearing the engine on the carbon bike. Too bad as we would have enjoyed that.

Not saying there was anything wrong with the shop. I believe you might have had a different experience than us with the street drag racing and the motorcycle club getting their bikes fixed. We had to dodge mechanics and leather clad "charter members" as we were checking out the Confederate bikes. And you must admit, you don't see Confederate bikes every day. All together I think we found Huaxiang Lu to be more entertaining than any NA motorcycle shop I've ever seen. If they have better in Japan and Europe I'd love to check them out too.

... if they have better in Japan ...

A friend took me to shop in Kyoto that was mind-boggling - two stories spread across a city block - and customers were encouraged to touch & play - it was like a giant IKEA ballroom, for adults.

... leather clad "charter members" ...

They also have those "individualistic" characters in Japan, with a Japanese twist (or "poof"???) ...

... missed out seeing/hearing the engine ...

I heard a Confederate fire up at the Beijing shop - I guess it was "enjoyable" (albeit somewhat deafening), and it reminded me of this "academic research" ...
