Where’s Billy motorcycle bar in Tianjin? I’m heading over there soon and want to visit and I don’t want to be “Harley Alone”. RD

Howdy guys, I’m an american living in Tianjin, China, believe it or not i actually have a motorcycle themed bar here. I have to tell you riding here is like playing a really bad video game where everybody is trying to kill you. Traffic signs and lights are only suggestions, and because bikes are banned in most major cities nobody is looking out for ya. But i love bikes so i still ride here, mainly only at night, the roads clear out a bit and there is a smaller chance of getting stopped. If you have the chance to get out of town and ride it can be really nice, even though the liscensing rules are really strict and if you leave the area you are registered for a crooked boy in blue will be happy to pocket some of your money. Check out the site for pics of the bar.

Cheers

So what’s actually riding in China like? Here’s a travelog by an American who bought a Chinese dual sport and rode through the country:

This is interesting. It’s interesting that China would allow a company to promote American culture in China.

Maybe, being a communist country and all, they are impressed with how H-D can get everyone to conform to the same image under the guise of individuality and freedom.
