  1. #1 Moto Markets in Beijing, Chengdu or Xian? 
    I know of the market at Jiaoji Rd in Shanghai and there is a thread for GuangZhou, but are there other markets around? Specifically I am looking for a pair of dirt boots in Beijing, Xian or Chengdu. Or, are there specific shops which I could find some in? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

    Wandering,

    Howdy and welcome to the board! Often times you've got to shop around general bike areas to get what you want. A pretty detailed map guide to the best motorcycle and photographic spots in Chengdu can be found here and I've bought more than a few pair of riding boots at the JinMo Motorcycle Parts and Repair Center:

    Not sure about Beijing although someone will likely pitch in some info. I'll change the posts title to make it more specific...

    - The Harley dealer sells some other stuff in the backyard.
    - There is a shop at Golden Port Motor City, near the airport, with some decent equipment such as Acerbis. A bit expensive though.
    - Some more stuff is available at the Russian market, near Landau department store.
    - Many small shops, who may have gear in the outskirts between NE 4th and 5th ring road.

    Most riders of heavy bikes bring their stuff from overseas.

    If you are planning to come to BJ, we look for somebody to show you to the places, so give me a PM before you are coming.

    The Tianma race track on the outskirts of Shanghai has some shops..........but it's been a long time since I was out that way so I'm not sure what the selection is like now.
