Sorry to hear about the scooter. Is that a Yamaha? New fairing should not be too expensive at the shops on Jaoje Lu. I think once you get the license the police should be a little kinder to you. Why did the police impound your bike? Did you get stopped or did they take it off the street?

Also, above you mention getting Shanghai C plates, how are you doing this? I was told that they weren't making those anymore.
