Hello to all !


My name is Simon, I am currently living in Jiaxing, Zhejiang.
I have been in China since 2008, started in Shanghai, and moved in Jiaxing 4 years ago.
I am married and got my 4 months old little boy.


I have been wandering the Internet about Chinese motorcycles, and oh boy was glad to see an English speaking forum dedicated to them. I have seen lots of great people on this forum and this lead me to join as well.


I guess my past is pretty boring, in my youth i have ridden scooters and 125cc (customs) mostly in France (yes I am French). Some bikes in Thailand, Bali, for tourism and escapes in the higher mountains. nothing fancy but I have never felt better while riding these in the wilderness.

I have very simple philosophy about life. Don't want to wake up old and tell myself "what if...". No regrets I guess.
Always been attracted to motorcycles, never had the finance in my youth, or time to fully dedicate to it.
In china I face myself with countless amazing places, and amazing people. And the urge for loosing myself in the countryside.
Strange feeling to describe, I am sure most of you know what I am talking about.

Been driving my car around for 6 years now, and I know anything can happen at every corners. I long for safer roads. But it is what it is, we adapt, and it is sure changing slowly every year. But I won't back down from this dream because of it.
Currently trying to get my motorcycle license in Jiaxing. I already know they only offer the test in Chinese in this city, but i might get an official translator.

So, Here I am, my name is Simon and if you happen to get to Jiaxing contact me !
In the meantime, good day to you all and keep safe on the roads !
