A Big Hello from China

Suprsignet · 01-23-2008, 05:05 AM

My name is Mike, I'm a Canadian living and working in China. I fil my days with my freelance photographer and part time English teaching (it heps with the bank account and the visa). I'm now in the south of Guangxi Provinc, about 80km from the Chinese Vietnam border.

I currntly ride a 50cc Chinese bike. In 5 months I've put 8700km on it. It is probably the best $250 USD I've ever spent on a bike. And although the bike is a lot of fun I am planning on taking a trip to Chengdu sometime in the near future to pick up a nice 200-250 dual sport.

Very Cool.

I'm Mike from Canada too!

Where are you from in Canada, Mike?

Welcome...Getting ready to go dual-sport myself.

Suprsignet · 01-24-2008, 02:16 AM

In Canada I'm from Halifax, Nova Scotia and now I'm in Guangxi Province(China), near Nanning.

This won't be my frist dua sport, but will b my frist in China. My big problem with getting one here is they are hard to find at the dealers, so I will probably have to take a train ride up to Chengdu and buy one there. I'm sure I could get one closer to home, but where is the fun in that?

I've done motorcycle tours around Taiwan and Korea and through a lot of Canada, i'm dying here now waiting to get my next dual sport. I've been forced to beat the piss out of my little 50 for now.
