I used to love riding my Honda 550 up the mountains or down the coast roads back home in Oz but I would never contemplate riding here. Even if you can "gun it" on the newly built freeways you have to have confidence that other road users wouldn't turn across you, throw a U turn, wander into your lane or slam on the brakes all without any warning at all. I would be stressed to the eyeballs here if I were riding. Sure takes the joy out of riding.

one of the bike shops out at the Tianma Circuit has always a few second hand Ducati's and other big bikes of questionable origin for sale....

^ Yeah, but I wonder how many qualified Harley Mechanics are living here in Shanghai?

That would be a guy with a big hammer and some of those strange spanners measured in inches or cubits or something
