Hello all.
I am an avid motorcyclist who has ridden 10s of thousands of miles over north america.

In 2014 I will be starting an asian adventure in Shanghai, China. I would love to bring my V-strom along but I feel it would be a lot of trouble and cost to bring it into china.

I am now entertaining the idea of buying a moto in china and riding it around china, vietnam, laos and thailand.

I have found this forum from a post on stromtrooper.com and thought I would see if anyone had any advice.

Is this Idea too crazy for a white american who speaks no asian languages?

Cheers,
Andy
