Siema! Sounds great. Tell me more details about your plan. When will you leave? You have a precise date? I'll be back from Poland on15th of may, I need two days to get over jetlag or sth and I'm ready to go. It would be great if we could go some of the road together. Whats your bike? Where do you want to get in 2 months? What do you do in Jiaojiang?

So this is the my plan. 20800km. Maybe too many. Qinghai lake would probably already satisfy me.

Nice Route! I don't think that travel permits from BJ will help you down in XJ. Just get your paperwork in order and play it by ear once you are there.

Someone wrote on my blog that it might be hard to go a distance of half of the 'circumference of the earth' (google translate) on cheap Chinese bike ;)

I remember watching the video...dont remember the name....many here do...two guys who went across europe russian mongolia etc..on BMW's and the camera man cracked up his BMW not watching carefully and he replaced his BMW with a super cheap local chinese motorcycle and it did well enough to keep up in the rough stuff.....
keep your chin up...and you helmet on and you will be fine...if something happens you can replace the whole bike part by part along the way...cheap and available

Thank You Kikikillercat, thats exactly what I need to hear :)

maybe we could meet if I get as far as Guilin. It's on my map. I would desperately need someone who can speak English after that far ;)

Long Way Round.
Episode 5
Day 4 in Mongolia
Claudio the camera man snapped the frame on the GS 1150 BMW
When they welded the frame up, they blew the brakes controller which were ABS, just fried the module.

So I think it was an "HH" that they bought for $1000

Hey, does anyone have a contact to someone from Jialing? Like someone more important or dealing with promotion? I'm thinking to write to them, tell them about my trip and maybe they would give me some support, free service or sth as I'm a foreigner doing 21000km on their cheap bike and they could make a story where I would say how much I love my JiaLing. Do you think there is a chance it could work or foreigners are not so attractive anymore?
