Beijing Bikers Party & Swap Meet

[Franki]

Hi Beijingers,

Any meeting that may occure during Aug. 10-16? I shall be in town and hoping to meet some bikers.

Absolutely!

The "Beijing Dragons" usually have a little ride around the mountains outside Beijing each Wednesday and/or Sunday (weather permitting), and then we pick up our guitars on Thursday evenings at the Iron Horse Saloon, usually starting around 5:00 or 6:00.

The rides usually start at Jim's (Iron Horse Saloon) at 0900. You can call/SMS any of us for additional details and confirmation.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Thanks to the old guy that I had a chance to see Jim's creation and had a fun day in Beijing.

Your place or mine?

Dad, what does that lever do?





God! Slow down, you are driving a very expensive piece of gear here.

Franki, it was great to finally meet you in person, and a bonus to also meet your wonderful family.

But you forgot to include one picture (click for larger image) ...

I can read everyone's minds ...

Your daughter "OK, let's see what this baby will do!" (look at her facial expression - priceless!)

Your wife "If my baby gets hurt, we're getting a divorce"

Jim "If MY baby gets hurt, its sold!"

You "Increase throttle softly, in baby steps"

Me (taking the picture) "What a bunch of babies - go for it!"


Always good times at Jim's, courtesy the Beijing Dragons MC club.

Hi Franki - wow, that RR is incredible - you lead such an interesting life! Thanks for sharing! I've subscribed.

Another Beijing biker get-together this weekend.

I hope to have my new JH600B in attendance. Wish you were here to give me some pointers! So, hop a flight!

Cheers
Richard

Hi Richard,

I am glad that you like the RR.
I am now busy preparing my bike for the Sep. Xinjiang trip. Got to have it done properly for this adventure touring trip or you may never see me again.

HOGHD will also have a big party at Huangshan during the nation holiday and I was also invited. Can't make it as I shall be hitting the trails near Mongolia border at that time.

I have sent you e-mail about modifications of the JH600 but didn't get your reply. Please check and let me know.

Cheers,

Franki
