Newbie in Shanghai

[Pfaelzer]

Nice to see other riders here in Shanghai. I've been in China for 20 years, and in Shanghai for 7, but have only recently even considered taking up motorcycling. There's no time like the present. I'm opting for the Jialing JH600, and if others are interested I've got pretty decent information about how the process works. Right now sorting through the details of registration, which apart from being stupidly expensive is also frustratingly tedious and mysterious.

One thing I'd love to do is replicate a tradition that's well established in my northern California community -- Bike Night. This is a regular gathering of folks whose sole qualification is that they enjoy motorcycling. I'd suggest once or twice a month, if not weekly. (Our NorthBaySportRiders.com group meets every Thursday at 6, rain or shine, outside a local *$.)

Any takers?

I am not from Shangai but there should be some biker groups around like the BMW guys, which are posting here or CJ groups. Not sure what they are doing or how frequent they meet. Having a regular place to go and meet, having some beers with friends sounds like fun. Jkp, 7 years in Shanghai and you do not know a joint like that?

AW.

AW, thanks for the moral support! Yes, it should be easy to find a common gathering place. In Sonoma County we gather al fresco, even in winter.

It's amazing to see 30, 40, 50 beautiful bikes all lined up outside a Starbucks.....
