Long day in the saddle! 25th June

Sometimes the miles are not that big but they just take forever to clock up and today was no exception

As promised a few from the Blue fire club turned up to see us off. They are mostly 150cc motocross type bikes from china but there were two guys who had Yamaha XJR1200 and they rode out of the town with us




I like the guy with the blue XJR who has helmet and gloves on but is girlfriend is very unprotected. Adam the cameraman taking a picture of me filming him for a change
Everywhere we stop the bikes always get a lot of attention and so do we as there are no tourists who venture through these areas and there is always one question they ask “HOW MUCH” pointing at the bike

So onward we go o the main roads but not the motorway which we zig-zag under, over and follow along but not on. We will get ot he motorway i am sure, just need to speak to the right people

These roads are great fun and it gets more twisty and the scenery more green mile after mile and we spend all our time on the sides of the tyres, which is good as the middle of the tyre is getting a bit low on the height of the knobblies

After 11 hours in the saddle, another hotel in a small town in which there does not seem to be anything but it is comfortable and guess what we had for dinner, Go on i bet you cannot guess, “Chinese”

10981 miles – Foping, China
