Back in the China Bike Game

[Supersignet]

Part of the scoop. I was lucky enough to pick up Brice's/ Carl's/ ChinaV's Qingqi today. The bike doesn't look as nice when Carl first got it. I wouldn't say it looks bad really, but it did come with a nice dose of Chinese patina. I'll clean'r up and get'r readdy to eat up some more Chinese roads. Thanks again Brice.

Today was a great day for a ride. The sky was clear and it wasn't too humid. Quite odd conditions for riding in the Preal Delta region. I didn't take the camera with me cause I had a lot to bring back. I did take the gps with me though.



I woke up at 5am and got on the bus at 6:40. After a long boring 1.5 hour bus ride I arrived in Zhuhai and hopped on a motorcycle taxi to get to Brice's place. A nice coffee, some great conversation, and some excellent advice about my summer plans I hit the road to head back to Guangzhou.

I was worried about how I could get the bike back to my home in Guangzhou. Guangzhou has to be one of China's most anti-motorcycle cities. My idea was to ride the bike as far as I could and then get a truck to to haul my ass and the bike the rest of the way home. When I arrived in Panyu I tracked down a truck and asked the guy what it would cost to bring load the bike on he truck and take me home, he said 1500 RMB. I nodded my head and threw the bike in the back of the truck. All said and done, the plan went off with out a hitch. No problems on the road. The trip home was nice and smooth. Can't wait to get the other part of the team later next week.

As for tonight I'm going to ride one QM250 moTARD this weekend to a Leeeeecheee festival in some place I can't remember. I'll be going with Franki and ChinaV.
