Now what?

How about a DIY bike, so you won't be bored during christmass? Let's call it The Rabbit, to stay in Ekki terminology!

I think all China Motos are DIY . I was thinking of doing something DIY, but you need to start with a base model to get the registration. The other issue that needs to be dealt with is the bi-annual vehicle check. I've heard that any modification to cars or motorcycles is against the law, so you have to be sure to put it all back to stock before going to the registry.

Maybe a Shineray water cooled 250? Seem like reasonable option?

Shineray.... It's not like I haven't tried in the past. My last attempt was during the ChongQing motorcycle show where I was told their X2 doesn't have CCC, can not be registered in China, and are only for export. I tried to enlighten them about Andre in Kunming, but they were very sure of their position. I mumbled something about idiots and walked away.

Get a powered micro-lite or a small plane. You've had enough bikes. I bet it would be impossible to get licence and registration though.

My sister is a pilot, yet I'm quite uncomfortable flying. I've seen a few ultralights over the years in Guangdong, you must need some serious "Guanxi" to pull that off.

Thanks for the tips and suggestions. Pending updates on registration info, I should have a decision by Friday.

Cheers!
