Having passed his motorcycle test here in Shanghai recently i wanted to give a big up to Corporal Clegg after he took proud ownership of his brand new Qingqi 200 yesterday. I thought it'd be worth a new thread to congratuate him.


I'm sure most guys (and gals) reading can remember the day their first bike arrived, it's a big occassion, almost a right of passage, something not to be forgotten.


I made a point of being there when his bike arrived and helped him unload it from the truck. He jumped straight on it and we were out cruising around the Minhang District of Shanghai. I remember being proper nervous the first time i rode my bike but Mr Clegg was fearless. I'd guess he's going for the hard break in the way we were racing around the big empty highways in MH, and i was shocked to learn that it's nearlly as quick as my Regal Raptor 250. I'm sure the Qinqi 250 would be quicker than my RR. To make matters worse, his bike was also drawing most of the attention whenever we stopped which i wasn't best pleased about.

We had such a blast, we also ended up doing a night run over to Pudong and stayed out racing around till well past midnight.

Anyway CC, congrats again. Here are a few pics i took on my phone...

a happy looking Andy
