Like the title says, my friend and I are going on an epic adventure through 5 of China's provinces on two 125cc motorbikes that I designed and we built ourselves. It's not only going to be an adventure, but will also be filmed by a professional film crew and made into a documentary.


I'm getting ahead of myself here, let me give you all a brief background to all of this...





Firstly, let me introduce myself and my fellow rider:




SerpentZA (me) a moderately successful YouTube vlogger who makes videos about China and a bit of a hobbyist backyard mechanic sort of bloke: ( my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/serpentza )





Here's me working on one of the bikes we'll be taking on the trip (I actually built it for my girlfriend, but due to time constraints will have to use this one for our epic adventure )


C-Milk (also known as Laowhy86) is my friend and business partner, we met through YouTube years ago as he also has a channel making videos about China ( his channel: http://www.youtube.com/laowhy86 )





C-milk showing some filial piety on one of our trips that took us through a mountain temple.


Of course I need to also introduce the bikes we'll be riding:





Here they are, 2015 Churchill Moriarty (Churchill Customs is our little bike company), they're based off of Suzuki GN 125s , here are the specs:


Model: 2015 Churchill Moriarty (hand built)
Displacement: 125cc
Power: 11.00 HP (8.0 kW)) @ 9600 RPM
Top Speed: 110km/h





They're not what most people would even consider taking on an epic 6000km + ride, but we're doing this as a way to prove that you don't need a big expensive sponsored BMW tourer with panniers to still have an epic bike adventure.


Next up, I detail the route we'll be taking on this upcoming adventure!





See you all in the next post!
