The only court that counts is the court of public opinion, and -- thanks in part to this website -- we as a "class" of JH600 owners do have some muscle that we should not hesitate to use. It's a bit awkward discussing a strategy here in a public forum, but I think we should have a strategy for making clear to Jialing that 1) we truly want them to succeed with this and other bikes and 2) we are ready and willing to take a very public stand if they try to sweep the JH600's problems under the rug.

We should think about asking, as a group of Chinese and expats, for a formal meeting with Jialing brass so that they can get a good understanding for this balance.

I don't buy the idea of "harassing" Jialing. But we are nowhere near a stage where we can say we've "engaged" them. To date, LJH has let the Beijing Service Center, a non-Jialing entity, do the talking. They have not had a group of fussy and angry and demanding owners in their office, and that's the next step in my opinion. I also hope we can persuade LJH to keep his bikes for this direct engagement, and perhaps have his exit be "getting a refund" rather than "selling the bike" in disgust and defeat.

Again, at risk of telegraphing strategy in a public forum, I think that we as a class can come up with ideas for how to escalate the pressure in perfectly legitimate ways without exposing ourselves to accusations that we are engaging in "harassment."

JH600 owners of China, unite!
