#12 Visa and Tix in hand05-01-2009, 11:18 PM
All right. Have my visa and tickets in hand. I was surprised that they issued me a 1 year, multiple entry visa this time. Never got more than a 30 or 60 day single entry in the past. Frequent visitor perk maybe?
Will be arriving in Shanghai on May 24th. at 20:15. My wife, Yuan, is leaving tomorrow morning for Guangzhou and will be meeting me at Pudong that day. Guess I'll be a little blasted from the traveling, so the first night will be two beers, a little grub and straight to bed probably.
Looking forward to seeing Winston's shop while in Shanghai, and any other riders who might be around. Winston, I've got your number and address. I'll give you a call on the 25th.
I'm still hoping that everything will fall in to place for riding up Beijing way. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Cheers,
Dan K.

Andy,
Thanks for everything you've done to help me make this trip become reality. I really owe you. Yes, camping is fine. I love to just load up the bike and ride till a good camping spot presents itself. Camping in China will be a first for me on this trip. From all the ride reports I've read from you and others, it will add even more interest to things.
Yes, Beemers are always good. Fell in love with them during my two stints living in Germany in the early 1980's and early 1990's. (Although I couldn't afford to own one then) Still have my '87 K75, and I picked up a 2007 F650GS last week. I'm loving the new GS and I'm hoping to run out to Moab, Utah to give it a good trail break-in and a three day camping trip in the next few weeks before I head your way.
Cheers,
Dan K.

Greetings All,
This is my last pre-trip post. I'm furiously packing this evening and will be jumping on the plane Shanghai bound tomorrow morning.
Thanks again to everyone who helped me get my trip sorted out. There's a great group of riders on this forum. I look forward to meeting folks in Shanghai and Beijing.
Cheers,
Dan K.

#18 Oops. . .05-23-2009, 07:29 PM
Doh!
I guess getting up at 4am after not getting to sleep until after midnight has an effect upon one's brain. I left the house this morning (I'm sitting at LAX right now waiting for my Tokyo flight) without writing down a couple of phone numbers.
Andy (ChinaBiker) and Winston (ShanghaiFingers), please email me your phone number's so I can call when I'm in your area.
