Welcome Mot in Zhejiang!

**Mot** · 02-12-2016, 03:25 PM

Hi I’m Mot. An Anglo foreigner living in the Ningbo countryside. I am new to motorcycles, but not new to China, although perhaps a bit sheltered. …and I love to ride!

This past fall I explored every main road, back road, side road, alleyway, and garden path within the range of my electric scooter. I recently got my C1E and an old beater car, so now with spring in the air it’s time for a proper motor bike.

I’ve been lurking on mychinamoto for a few months and I will be seeking the wisdom of the tribe regarding my first bike. I definitely see some touring in my future!

I love China and Chinese culture. The food is great, the people are friendly, and meaningful personal relationships just seem to come naturally with natives and fellow lao wai. I hope motorcycling will widen my social circle and enhance all that I love about East Asia. Miles of smiles, as they say.

Cheers!
Mot

Welcome! I am sure in this forum you will find enough information on bikes of all kind of categories. So find yours.
Besides that you will find some new contacts with same mindset.
Ride safe. All time rubber down.
