My first mountain run-JH600

[euphonius]

Dear Lion,

Fun stuff, but where are the pix of your own steed?

And a question: With all those guys riding international brands, including some very heavy artillery, how did they relate to you and your Jialing? Did they give you shit for having a Chinese bike, or did they admire you for placing your bet on the one of the best Chinese-made bikes? Or something in between?

I get that crap all the time. Everyone wants my JH600 to be a Harley, and when they find out it's a 国产 from Chongqing they get very confused! It's even more fun when Motokai and I ride somewhere together -- 两个老外骑国产车！Who is the bigger fool -- us making the best of what China has to offer, or them paying absurd, obscene prices for imported bikes, many of which seem not even to be legally registered?

Whatever you do, ride your own pace and don't be tempted to go beyond your own limits. Yes, some of those bikes go a lot faster than your Jialing. Who fucking cares?

Ride safe!

cheers
