Butchman,

A few years ago, 2004, I was in Shanghai and there was a group of bike riders with BMW. I never had the chance to finally meet them.

Was this your group? Does it exist any longer?

I will be going back to Shanghai again, probably early next year, and if this is still running I will like to get in contact with them.

I hope that I can get a reply from you.

Regards,
José

ZMC888,
Did you notice that that post was a year and a half ago?
Someone making a new post in an ancient thread instantly brings it back to the top of the list.
As a rule, one should look at the post date to see how recent information is.
For example, the issue of GPS being illegal in Russia keeps coming up because someone looks at a thread 5 years old. (It was illegal once, but has not been for a very long time.)

Why try to publicize a message board practically nobody uses, and you haven't used yourself in over a year?!

Sorry, it was my fault. I am looking for someone and this may be it.

G'Day,

Yes, we have an active motorcycle club in Shanghai since 15 years and some of the original founder members are still around including myself.

We are not a one brand club, our mates own different types of bikes including Ducati, H-D, BMW, Yamaha, Honda, Triumph, Suzuki, Chang-Jiang, etc.

Throughout the last 6-8 years many different biker groups have been formed in greater Shanghai area and some focus on racing at the two Shanghai race circuits (Tianma Track / F1 Circuit), premium import bikes like HOG -Harley Owners Group Shanghai-, BMW Riders Group Shanghai, various Chang-Jiang Sidecar Riders Groups and the cheap as chips crappy China bikes owners. Even saw a huge group of modded scooters (50+ scooters) heading out of Shanghai yesterday towards Suzhou on the BeiQing highway (old Shanghai - Suzhou airport highway).

Ride Safe! Season's Greetings! BUTCHMAN

Thanks butchman, I mentinoned the BMW because it is what I remember from some of the pictures that I saw at the time, and, as I am a BMW man myself, it is what I remember better.

I hope that I get a chance to meet with you.

G'Day,

Let me know once you get over to Shanghai. We have a few GS/R/K Beemer's in our group.

In case you like racing at the various China race circuits, check out: BG-performance & BG Performance Members

I like bike races, but I am not really into racing.

I enjoy riding with my bike in the circuits, you have a chance to really take all you can out of it in relative safety.

When I get there, I'll get in touch, for sure.
