Tony and Tso

Both Tony and Tso rode with us on the 5000-mile Western America Adventure Ride.  Tso is riding with us again on the current expedition.  I saw Tso in Foshan a couple of days ago and he is joining us for dinner here in Chongqing.   It will be good to ride with Tso again; I’m feeling bad that Tony is not able to join the party.   Maybe next time.

You know, it’s tough getting enough time off to just take off for 37 days on a motorcycle, and I think that’s precluded a lot of the guys who were on the last ride from joining this one.   There are four new riders coming into town today, and I’ll meet them this evening.

Today we spent the day at the Zongshen plant and I have a ton of photos.   I probably won’t get to post them, as I’m going to dinner in a bit and things will start to get very busy tomorrow.   We’ll be riding around Chongqing for a familiarization run tomorrow, and then we’re leaving for Chengdu (about 390 kilometers roughly to the west) the day after tomorrow.  That familiarization run will be a good thing, I think.   Riding around in a car here for the last two days has revealed that the traffic lights are a bit tough to decipher.   I’ll figure it out.

Later, my friends.
