Sorry to hear you had your first motorcycle accident in China luckily you came away unharmed.

It looks like your vast amount of experience and training didn't stop the accident.

Sorry for my bad grammar and now my nonconstructive comments.

I also noticed this
"This year, traffic accidents involving bikes, mopeds and scooters have accounted for 269 deaths, more than 40 percent of all traffic fatalities in Shanghai. In most cases, riders should have borne at least as much responsibility as vehicle drivers, say police. Some officers worry that the situations "are getting worse.""

so that means that 60 percent of traffic fatalities in shanghai are from cars and trucks????
damn, safer to have a bike after all.
