f things go more or less as planned I will know for sure in March 2018

My yearly schedule is the same, each year I leave my bike in Kunming (Mid October) and travel down to Thailand for the winter.
Returning the END of March.

If you are either near Kunming or Hainan let me know and I could arrange to hook up with you to help you get along with arrangements.
Not rode Hainan for a few years now, so I would love to have the opportunity to ride there again.
Keep me up to speed with your plans.
