Wow!
"I just went by Jimmy's shop the other day and was impressed - though I am now convinced he is an EVIL man who likes to temp and ensnare innocent bikers....He offered me a no strings TEST RIDE on a fantastic looking NEW KTM 1190 Adv R and I almost fell into the trap!"

Interesting! I've known Jimmy about 2½ years and he has never once tried to persuade me to buy something from him with any type of sinister ulterior motive. The contrary, in fact he has always been quite the standup guy to me as well as other people that I know. I'm sorry that you feel that way.

Personally I know of and have been to most of the shops around Shanghai, laughing, talking, & general BS'ing. The proof is always in the pudding (as they say) and for me time has clearly shown that when it's time to put my money on the barrel head I prefer to spend my money with either Jimmy, or David. With these guys you don't have to worry. Point Blank, end of story.

Anyway, I am looking forward to, and hoping to be able to ride a legal & proper dirt bike here in China someday soon.
