Hi

Thanks for the hearty welcome

To answer Crazy Carl, I didn't really ride the highway but just had some fun riding the tracks around the lake Karakul, slaloming between yaks in this incredibly beautiful environment... I was traveling with some people in Xinjiang just ahead of the national day, we were using public transportation mainly, I just rented the bike of a local Kyrgyz boy whose yurt we were staying at.

Chinabiker, I will get in touch for sure, and to answer your question, I am friend with Yves and Cira who were driving their blue BMW side-car in Shandong. I also met Jim once who was very friendly and gave me a lof of good tips for when I'll have the money to buy a good side-car and ride it back to France

Cheers guys
