G'Day,

Used Slime before? You can wash it away with water, used Slime many times during extreme 4x4 excursions in PRC / Australia.

PRC Slime importer / distributor sits up in Dalian of all places.

I used a similar product to slime on my tubeless MTB tyres .The CO2 cartridges turned it into little beadlets rendering it next to useless.Maybe slime has improved it.

G'Day,

I am not a big fan of this C2 Cartridges myself. Carry a small air compressor that plugs into your bikes power outlet (if you have one) or connect directly to the bikes battery.
A small compressor works great for adjusting tire air pressure for on/off road riding but as the French speed-biker says what do I know after 30+ years biking around the globe.....

Nice to see the change of feeling in this thread; mostly thanks to Fred, ChinaV, ZMC888 (after speaking from his heart), Bigdamo and TB-Racing. I'm a noob and know nothing about the preps needed for this kind of ride but I think I've learned a a lot from this thread.


Good luck to you Fallwew... I'm looking forward to (as are many of us here) getting reports from you about how the trip goes...
Has he gone yet? Hasn't posted anything in over two days.


I think Euphonius would do well to post his 'Beijing to Shanghai 'Gao su lu' experience' in a separate thread. That story was was truly moving and I have a lot of respect for the way he told it to us but I think it kind of got overlooked on this thread.
Sounds like the Chinese truly believe that motorcycles are forbidden from all Chinese Expressways, even though the document provided to us by Fallwew clearly states the opposite (with the exception on the certain areas in Shanghai etc).


Thanks for that link Fallwew and ZMC888 also posted a little thanks message...

Thank you for updating us on the law

No one here said thanks for it




P.s. Although I myself may indulge from time to time I still feel that this motifake holds a morale message.

P.s.s. I have nothing against these people. What is the PC name for a retard?

Sorry for the long-winded answer, but at least now I've written (the less interesting) half of my Shanghai-Beijing-Shanghai solo ride report!

cheers!

This is the best part of the thread and I would have missed it if not for Soberpete mentioning it. Hoping you take the time to expand on the rest of your story and include the final details. Also: PICTURES.

Dear Nuhaus,

Thanks for the encouragement; I'll get to it -- only 18 months late! I do have a lot of nice images of the ride up to Beijing on the G104, but only a few from the fast ride back down the lovely expressways. Those are mainly of the Yangtze crossing. A bit swamped this week, but will do my best to get it done.

cheers

The USB port should be IP67 or IP68 rated.

The USB port should be IP67 or IP68 rated.

Wouldn't IP69 be even better

Yes any higher rating is better ingress protection, having a rating of 69K allows high pressure washing...

Dude, as a matter of facts, bike are allowed on highways... Now i know that it's allowed everywhere in china... and it's in the law!...

G'Day,

FYI: tried to enter the G15 on my bike the other day with one of my cars ETC unit in the jacket pocket, what a drama was started at the HuQingPing Highway / G15 entrance (entrance direction Ningbo / Huzhou).......
Before you say a ETC is assigned to one car (vehicle) only, rest assured i use my ETC's in various private and company vehicles.
