Hi Guys

Great forum.

Arrived in China last month, from Derby UK. I plan to be in Ningbo for 2 years. Am already missing riding a bike, but to be honest, the (city) roads aren't tempting me at all, so it will be to get out and explore . Long story short, I'm now planning to buy a bike over here. Have already found lots of useful info on the forum - Thanks to All. Will take me more than few months to sort out finances. I have full UK bike licence and am going to look into getting a local licence next week - lack of Mandarin notwithstanding. Owned a thumper for a few years, a Yamaha XT 600, lovely bike, pulled like a train - grinned every time I rode it. Now those JH600s look interesting ..

Cheers for now, Phill
