Hello,

My name is Steve. I live in Harbin. I'm hoping to ride from Harbin to Xinjiang this summer, stopping by wherever is interesting on the way. Right now I'm trying to navigate my way through the mess of getting a license and all the other paperwork taken care of. I've been reading here for a while trying to learn from everybody else's experience.

While I work out the license, I'm trying to decide what bike to buy for the trip, so any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm leaning towards the Shineray Long march, mostly because of the big gas tank. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm also trying to find another person to go with, so I'f anybody is interested, let me know. I'm off work until mid-August, so the dates are pretty flexible.

Here is a pic of my last bike that I had to sell before moving to China:
