Howdy all - just came across this site today and it's looking great so far. I am from Boston originally but have been in Dalian now for about 3 years and prior to that did a year in Heibei back in 2004. Just got a 2000ish Yamaha XJR400 from a guy who has a small shop here. Had to "register" it somehow in Suzhou because they don't allow any new registrations here in Dalian. Which, makes riding it around a bit nerve wracking, however so far so good. Would love to someday ride off of this Liaodong peninsula I'm stuck on and see some of the rest of China on bike - might wanna pick up something a little heavier though beforehand... Looking forward to following along...
