Hi there. I have posted a lot but I guess I should introduce myself. I am a Canadian teaching at an international school outside of Shanghai just across the border in Jiangsu province. i have only been in China since Feb. 2009 but I think I am adapting well.

I am right now riding an old Honda Rebel 250, but hoping to get something bigger/newer/shinier in the fall.

I started riding in 2003 and have owned a Yamaha XS650 (what a pile of junk)

a Suzuki DL650 Vstrom (nice bike, but I wasn't a fan)
,
a Kawasaki ZX9R Ninja (did most of my miles on it)
,
a Suzuki GSXF750 Katana (in Tasmania, a suprisingly cool bike)
,
a Yamaha TRX850 (in Perth. I still own it)
.

I have ridden BC, Alberta, down to LA, over to New Orleans, and back to Vancouver. I have ridden all of Tasmania and some Western Australia. Hoping to do a long China trip and Australia trip this summer (yeah I know it's winter in Aussie).
