Does anyone know which provinces allow motor bikes on the Highway?
I'm in Shanghai and know we can't ride on the here.

A few around Beijing to Tianjin. Never heard of anywhere else. If they are in a good mood they might let you on but unlikely.

The law is bikes are allowed on expressways.. It is illegal to be denied entry. You can get a copy of the law which states that motorcycles can go on expressways.. ALL OVER CHINA but then at the end of the day it is up to you if you want to make a big stink about it.. For my six pence it's better not going on them.. To go A to B quickly, flying is much quicker and much safer..

Go to any Expressway, you'll see a huge sign with a motorcycle and a cross through it meaning obviously no motorcycles. This is not the national law but a local bylaw, similar to Beijing not riding inside the 3rd (or was it 5th) ring-road with any plate except an A plate, and riding downtown Shanghai or even Ningbo. Try it sometimes you'll be treated like OJ Simpson driving a Bronco, other times you can pay and use it other times you sneak around the barrier sometimes the police will invite you on even with an unregistered, uninsured Suzuki Gixxer 750 and give you a freaking convoy escort because they are bored and the local bigwig's daughter just got into a university in the UK. The thing is being China these bylaws could get you fined, imprisoned, given points who the hell knows what? There is no consistency and local law can trump national law, there is no 'China court of human rights' obviously.
Sure if the choices was lovely mountain road and plenty of time you'd be nuts to go on the Expressway, other times it's the only feasible way to get somewhere. For example over the golden week 3 day 7 day holiday my buddy and I want to go to a race track 300km away, freeway 2 hours, main road 4. Main road means night in a flea bitten Bingguan.
The local bigwig runs the show and he says what is allowed, some bloody foreigner with the 'facts' means nothing to them.

10-08-2014, 03:56 PMI was on a express road yesterday. I only met one man yelling at me as I passed him and rode off into the distance
No one and nothing chased me and I passed nearly every thing on the way
Got off at a smaller exit and nothing to be seen
Must have been a lucky day tho can't say if next time I'll be so lucky or easy

The beauty of the expressways are that it free's up the old road from most vehicles//////////// and there are wonderful twisty roads that go for seemingly forever perfect for motorcycles..........BUT/BUT/BUT/BUT........when the old road is bad...its really bad, almost unbearable....loaded with holes, dust, cracked road..oversized trucks, mud..and you will need a new air filter after two days!!!
i know i just finished 4000k.
my advice about expressways if a cop says stop...STOP otherwise...... super big trucks use the expressway which makes it dangerous for motos..but they seem to know what they are doing......yet no one dims there 'brights' ever!
the law does say its ok for motos...but only one rider...which is no fun if the girlfriend cant ride and has to run alongside of you...he he

Gosh... After 20 years riding bikes here in china I've become some bloody foreigner.. But you're right.. I guess if you saw a sign with a picture of the west country and a line through it you'd believe it.. Obviously smug west country bikers have taken their driving test here in China and are totally aware of the highway code where it states motorcyles on the expressways are only allowed to drive on the hard shoulder.. ... I guess that means in westcountynese "motorcyles are banned from expressways."

Jon please attempt to construct a worthwhile convincing argument as to why other people are wrong and float it out there, we can all read it and discuss it, that's what a forum is for. Merely attacking the opinions of the moderator is usually not a successful strategy.
