Patience is a virtue I have difficulty maintaining as I was born short of it and have not improved. Add that to the cultural challenges of China being completely different and I think I can relate to where you are waiting on the bike. To be honest, mine was pretty good right out of the crate. Main problems I have had are trying to get work done on the bike locally. Pretty sure you are in better shape in Shanghai regrading that. Still, it is better the factory found any issue and fixed it there, believe me! Someday we will need to meet up for a JH600 rally for sure.

On another note of trials and tribulation, the local Nanjing government has proposed a complete ban on all motorcycles for 2014. I may have to move the factory!!!!
