  • Ride China



    Saw this over here in Shanghai. It is a "Dreamcycle"!
    Don't see anything over 2 cylinders, most are singles.
    Look to be 50 to maybe 250cc.

    Saw one of those in Karachi back in '05, popular opinion was that they weren't very good bikes. most folks rode the "Hero Honda" 100cc singles, in India, they have different models of the "Hero Honda", there's the "passion" and some others, they run in the 150cc range. saw a lot of Royal Enfield bikes over there, typically a 350cc single, over there, sounds like a men amongst boys, real deep and throaty compared to all the 100's and 150's has a real lopey idle also. wouldn't mind having an Enfield, I liked the look, it's available here in 350 and 500cc models. both singles I think. It's kind of interesting what you see when you get out of your own back yard isn't it. have a nice day and ride safe

          My oldest son (17) is headed to China next month fo the Olympics.
          He is part of the Bejing Olympic Orchestra.
          Just got THIS announcement today.
          This is a 2008-piece international High School orchestra.
          Wish I had the $ to go with him, but, I also want him to experience it on his own.

          Sorry for the thread hijack but I'm rather proud of this.

              Yeah, there is a lot of variety in food here. Just cop a squint at THIS .

              I have not seen that stuff myself, but I was at a place in Guandong where you could pick out your lunch from a selection of wierdities. I was told that until very recently, snakes and puppy dogs were on the menu. Yum indeed.

              For some reason, I lose weight when I am here.
