Huge empty real estate construction site in Qingpu district just off the G318 HuQiPing Highway (Shanghai) makes a great playground for the Jialing JH600 sidecar during a winter weekend.
Really enjoy owning the JL sidecar, great fun for daily cruising and running errands. http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC07522-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC07540-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC07528-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC07551-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC07544-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC07556-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC07552-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC07559-L.jpg |
Back to the Southern China tropical Island of Hainan for a few weeks.
For the annual Boao Forum they build a full on police checkpoint heading along towards the Yalong Bay area..... The Boao Forum for Asia, abbreviated to BFA, is a non-profit organisation that hosts high-level forums for leaders from government, business and academia in Asia and other continents to share their vision on the most pressing issues in this dynamic region and the world at large. BFA is modeled after the World Economic Forum held annually in Davos, Switzerland. It has its fixed address in Bo'ao, Hainan, China, although the Secretariat is based in Beijing. The Forum is committed to promoting regional economic integration and bringing Asian countries even closer to their development goals. Initiated in 1998 by Fidel V. Ramos, former President of the Philippines, Bob Hawke, former Prime Minister of Australia, and Morihiro Hosokawa, former Prime Minister of Japan, the Boao Forum for Asia was formally inaugurated in February 2001. The founding of the BFA was driven by the People's Republic of China and founded by 26 Asian and Australasian states on 27 February 2001. The organisation held its first meeting from April 12–13, 2002. Discussions at the BFA focus on economics, integration, cooperation, society, and the environment. In the past the forum also addressed China's entry into the World Trade Organization, as well as Southeast Asia's economic crisis during the 1990s. The geopolitical strategy 'China's peaceful rise' was a topic of discussion for the forum in 2004. In addition to its annual meeting, the BFA also sponsors other forums and meetings related to Asian issues.... http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00328-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00339-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00340-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00341-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00342-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00343-L.jpg Boao Forum for Asia info source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boao_Forum_for_Asia and http://www.boaoforum.org |

The Surfer Dudes further up the coast at Riyue Bay (Wanning) have been busy as well with a lot of improvements done since my last visit.
The Riyue Bay Surf Club, located on tropical Hainan’s south east coast, is a must-visit for surfers and non surfers alike. Conveniently located in China’s Surf Capital with a variety of breaks within walking distance, Riyue Bay is the perfect place for all surf levels... http://www.surfinghainan.com http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00348-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00345-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00344-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00349-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00350-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00352-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00351-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00357-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00353-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00354-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00355-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00356-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00358-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00359-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00360-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00361-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00347-L.jpg http://tb-racing.smugmug.com/Motorcy...DSC00346-L.jpg |

How is the outfit holding up? John |
Quote:
Prefer the sidecar if you ask my personal opinion and the sidecar rig gets much more use as daily runner up in Shanghai, the solo is stored and used on Hainan Island (Southern China). .....more to come, no worries....... |

However, the French play by their own rulesdoh so cant have one here at the moment:frown: John |
