    This thing is pretty tall. I'm 6'5" (1.95m) and it really fits me perfectly. Shorter statured folks aren't as lucky

    I was crawling through some rural villages and stopped for a drink and every single kid/man wanted to have a try sitting on it, even that dumpy guy in the background. He tried but could not swing his leg over the seat

    I wasn't doing any serious riding so I don't have all of the protective gear I should be wearing, but one thing I definitely wished I would have had the first day was sunscreen.

    good lookin bike there pope
    those engines dont have a filter so dont skimp on the oil changes specially in summer
    1000km is plenty long enough and a litre of oils just 30 kuai

    looks like a good ride you had , hard to beat a new bike and new roads

    I did 100 km, then I had my guy change and put in this, which I got for 190rmb at the GZ market

    I then did another 350 km and had him change it again.

    Unrelated: Commercial monkey show in China. This is what a drunk Russian substitute keyboardist does when the sound guys screw up the power supply. That's me just by his shoulder there, laughing my ass off the entire time while the audience just gazed in confusion.
