A pretty excellent American fellow gave me some of his long-standing insights into the Beijing motorcycle world - including which Yamaha is appropriate for me (YRB 125), getting a drivers license and new plates.

Said fellow mentioned there is a school for getting drivers licenses in Beijing called Laoshan (though any school for international folks would be fine) -- would someone be able to put me in touch with their phone number?

Also, if anyone knows of a 2nd hand YBR 125 with Beijing B plates (that are real), I'd pretty much be ready to go any time.

Looking forward to reading and riding with y'all!
