Just because something is illegal it does not mean it is wrong. I'm sorry but this is the first time I've read something really stupid on this site. Okay.. Probably this Kiamo chappie is Chinese and has always lived here so has no experience of what the world overseas is like. Overseas there are no stupid draconian laws marginalising motorcycles. Just last year we were forced in one town to ride on the EBIKIE/Bicycle Lane as there were too many accidents involving motorcycles. I didnt' and simply drove on through the thugs in uniforms throwing projectiles at me. Riding a motorcycle on the road is not illegal. Riding a motorcycle on the EBIKE road IS illegal. That the police are forcing you to do an illegal thing does not make it right.
Here is another thing to think about. KIAMO.. It is the police that issue driving licenses to drivers in China. If there are too many accidents on the roads in China the problem is with the police passing people who are patently not able to drive safely on the roads.

Countries overseas should now be imposing 100% tax and duty on china exports as china has been a member of the WTO for a long time now. That China imposes these stupid taxes and duties on imported vehicles is disgusting.

People do the "WRONG THING" in many cases to make the world a better place KIAMO. What Mao Zedong started 100 years or so again was illegal.. Women would still be having their feet bound, corruption would be rife here, poverty widespread.. So mate.. Haha.. The law can be an ass... NEVER Say "THERE IS NO DEBATE."

Also... There's no debate. Wrong is wrong, no matter how much more convenient it might be. The amount of effort going into rationalising illegal riding is rediculous.

If you want to do the wrong thing, because its cheaper or you get beat down in your efforts to go legal, then fine. But let's not pretend it might be OK.... Haha
