Hello All, I just joined this forum today, here goes with my first post.

Has anyone out there got any experience in obtaining a motorcycle license in Tianjin? I have held both my South African car and motorcycle licenses for >20 years and I have held a Tianjin car license since 2000. I recently had to renew my car license for another cycle (6 years this time) and at the time I requested to have my motorcycle license included. This request was basically dismissed out of hand with a 'Tianjin do not issue motorcycle licenses'. Since then I have tried in TangGu, some smaller cities in nearby Herbei province and also recently my wife (who is Chinese) contacted the Laoshan school who told me I needed to be a Beijing resident and I needed a Beijing car license (for more than 1 year) before I could apply. This seems to go against some of the advise on this thread. Anyone have any ideas of who I can contact or where (City) I could go and apply?
