    According to this article there's only 240 licensed sidecars in Shanghai (I'm there's about a factor of 10 to that on the road...) but cool photos none-the-less. Any MCM riders featured here?

    Thanks for sharing this. I recognize one person, who has since moved to Beijing and upgraded from a CJ to a JH600B sidecar.

    However, I think she is too sophisticated to wallow around with us MCM commoners.

    Know a few of those guys. The nazi uniform one i find pretty offensive. I've bumped into him a few times on the streets, he just rides around in full nazi gear. Seriously can you imagine that back home?


    I also know this guy pretty well, i call him laoban!

    Dear Felix,

    With all the hooplah about your recent nuptials, isn't there someone else who you now must call "laoban" -- i.e., the person formerly known as Panda?

    cheers!

    Very funny but unfortunately incorrect. I bought her fair and square from the parents, in accordance with chinese tradition, so technically i own her.

    Here i am with my newly acquired slave.

    Thanks dude, she's pure class. Lets me sleep on the couch whenever i want to!

    Yeah i know those guys, that's Riccardo, Yves and his wife Cirra. Yves posted here a few times in relation to the 650TR.
    They're currently doing Beijing - Paris on two CJ750, lucky bastards. I think echinacities got their facts a bit wrong, they're riding fully legal bikes with plates and all of them have D licenses.



    They're in xinjiang now, more details here if anyone's interested:

    Why ruin a great story about stupid foreigners with a few facts? (Chinese media ethics)

    Yves is a good guy - no idea that was him.
