    I am Winston, I have left a few post but have failed to formally introduce myself. I am an expat living Shanghai for the last 2 years. I am a full time resident with no intention of returning to the US. I am married and have a young son. I love all thing that fly, and all things on 2 and 3 wheels.
    I work in my free time for spare parts at CJ Sidecar. I can often be found at the Shanghai shop working on my Chang Jiangs or my buddies Chang Jiangs....

    I was once a commercial helicopter pilot in the states and now a "desk jocky" much to my dissmay. But at least I still have bike riding. I really enjoy seeing "real" china by motorbike and CJ. My buddy Peter and I run an adventure tour company using Chang Jiangs and we make trip into China as often as possible. When my son is older he and I will do a RTW trip together... but for now must wait....

    Also don't be afraid to post some of your shop's info in the dealers section. It never hurts to have your info in one more place.

    I hear that man. I got the Roadcrafter and it's been though so much crap. A good suit can make all the difference between getting somewhere and getting somewhere without hypothermia!

    The more I use it the more uses I find for it...it's even good for sailing. Come to think of it, I should wash and reseal it again before this riding season.

    Paz,
    Carl

    P.S. - I should hope anyone would feel free to welcome anyone at any point in time.

    SHFingerz,

    If you've got a good pic of yourself in the Stich, send it to the folks at Aerostich... they appreciate photos of their product at work in interesting places.

    Winston,

    You posted a timely message. Welcome to the group (Don't know if I can welcome you as I'm a noob myself. . .)

    Anyways, I see in your post that your working with someone doing CJ "adv" tours in China. I'm preparing to make my 5th. trip to China a few months from now. My wife and I own a condo in PanYu, GuangZhou and we're planning on going up to Shanghai and Suzhou to visit some friends and take in the sights.

    I originally planned 3 weeks for this trip as I wanted to try and rustle up a bike to ride from GuangZhou to Shanghai. After more thinking, I decided it would be too much of a hassle to have to get the bike back to GuangZhou.

    So, to make a short story long, what can you do to set up a CJ tour that would last about 1 week out of Shanghai? I've ridden a Ural hack for the past 5 years, and I've been a 2 wheeler since learning to ride in Germany back in '84.

    Drop me a line via email if you think you can arrange something.

    Cheers,

    Dan K.
