China ADV Riding - Page 8

Run to the Great Wall of China and beyond.....

Had a bit of service done to my Italian bike in the Ducati service center Shanghai for some rides in the Northern part of the motherland (greater Beijing region). Shipped the bike up to Beijing early last week with one of our regular trucks as I have done the S-B-S tour quite often and a waste of time (around 5 days for a Shanghai-Beijing-Shanghai round trip in the old days) in my personal opinion. Has been 8 years since I had my own bike in Capital City after selling my bike up here to a mate.

Got a few weeks ahead doing cruising around the greater Beijing mountain regions with the Italian bike and my bicycle (beats the friggin' Beijing traffic anytime)..... Beijing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beijing

Track-Day with the Beijing Superbike guys at Goldenport Park Track Beijing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldenport_Park_Circuit

Great BMW bikes.... a BMW HP2 Enduro would be great for the motherland but they hardly come up for sale anymore due to collectors status.

Greater Beijing area has brilliant twisty mountain roads, foggy days during last weekend rides but brilliant riding.
Went out with a few MCM members on Sunday (approx. 340k) and Monday (approx. 240k) with more to come during the next weeks.....

Attached some route screenshots (GPS Tracker) provided by a Monday rider.

Great pictures of a beautiful country. I wish I could get around as you do. I'm currently in Chongqing, heading for Beijing in a few days. But alas, I'm stuck with public transportation partially due to linguistic problems and the resulting lack of a chinese driver's license. Not to mention the fact that I couldn't fit my 1200GS in my luggage.

Thanks for documenting the trip.
