    probably not supposed to do this, but... I couldn't resist.






    The exact location where I mounted the wall is Lat 40.25891, Lon 115.79382 or right in the center of this map: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/40.2589/115.7938

    Here are maps from gps track on my phone, progressively zoomed out. On the last frame you can see I started the trip from Yanqing town, Yanqing county, Beijing. Looks like about 40 KM from Yanqing. You can approach it also from the Beijing side.




    From the Yanqing side it is nice twisty roads with no traffic. just before the turn-off to Dayingpan village. Here's the turn-off sign:


    You can stop and see the wall a number of places between this sign and the village. Then the paved road ends at the end of the village and continues on a dirt track - note deep ruts in the dirt track, not really great (but passable) on a street bike. Where I got up on the wall is on a little trail that branches off of the dirt road - that trail sort of peters out as it approaches the wall, but, even with a street bike, you can drive right up.

    hehe... a friend made exactly the same pic at the same location (we want once to ride on the great wall) :-)

    Looks like you really dont need an Enduro. But to get there you push the Benelli over rough terrain.
    Last year when I was there the path was washed out knee deep.

    More to the point "would" we want to see a picture of your bike on Nanjing city wall? "Nuff Said"

    Just ask your mate (The faceless rider) to Photoshop one ?

    Hi Fat Boy

    Good question ?

    Just like to ask are you not the same "Texas Aggie" who post on ADVRider, that when a old member off MCM makes commits and refer to people on MCM (MyChinaMoto) as muppet-clown-moron ?.
    And you think that's funny .

    link...... http://advrider.com/index.php?thread...859964/page-20

    post 390/391 ?

    OPPS

    Now you can understand (What the fuck is wrong with you?)

    Now this is the deal Fat Boy you and your friend (the faceless rider) keep your condescending remarks about members of MCM to yourself and all will be fine ?

    Nuff Said ?


    If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with flea?
