So the trip as a whole was a bit of an epic one, I averaged over 800 a day which is a new record for me and I doubt I'll get close to that in China ever again. The roads and long days made it possible but in the future I think I'll be seeking out more twisty routes. The yingang was fantastic once again, particularly when it became a submarine on that last day, I could've kissed her a few times when she started half underwater. I'm going to treat her to a new engine when I get her back to Shenzhen, yingang will hopefully have a fuel injected 350cc version which will bolt right it. There's nothing wrong with the current one apart from a worn gear selector so that'll probably get put in a project bike at some point in the future. The bike has now done 42,000 kms and is still going strong in all the important areas so I couldn't be happier really.

Those pics look great Barry, I was a bit disappointed the road didn't go closer to Lake Hulun and nearly took a 40 km detour to check it out but at that stage I'd pretty much had it with grasslands and simply couldn't be arsed.
