Interesting. Do they have a cc size restriction like other countries in Asia?

It varies from place to place (it's down to municipal/provincial laws not national). I've seen big bikes on the outskirts of Beijing but they were older imported (probably illegally) Jap stuff and toys for spoiled kids of the uber-rich. Probably near 90% of what you see is 150cc and under both due to rules in certain areas and that motorcycles are banned on most of the Chinese Motorways so there is no point having anything designed to do much more than 50mph as speed limits are low there and the local coppers enjoy enforcing them (for the bribes from busted drivers).

Love to ride around the Highlands too , my favourite roads are up there , it's a special place and yes it is a shame you can't guarantee the weather , but on the upside along with the midges it keeps down the overcrowding You can ride all day in the north west in summer and never see a soul . Shame The Wallis Rally is a bit of a closed shop . My Mum was born in Stirlingshire at Airthrey Castle near Bridge of Allan , it was converted into a hospital during the war and my Gran was evacuated to there from Glasgow to give birth to her . Never actually been there , must have a look one day

I know what you mean when you say it's a special place. Those little sweeping roads through the Highlands are a dream. Makes me want to saddle up right now. As for "The Wallis" .. It's just one of those things.. But there again no different to other "owners" clubs.. MG..VW and the like..they just want to maintain the theme I guess. Thunder in the Glens on the other hand is basically open for all.. It's held in the grounds of the MacDonald's hotel chain.. But the whole village turns itself to the Rally. We like to stay in one of the Hotels. But you can also camp in the grounds. It's run by Hog so is very organised ..great live music and bars around every corner..and the Sunday ride out which the locals get the chairs out and watch the bikes go by..I think it was over 500 bikes last year, and although it was mainly Harley's there was all sorts there..every make you can think of..

Never wanted a big Harley so wouldn't want a toy one. Times have moved on and now the Japanese, English & Italians do customs much better. Better quality, more reliable and usually cheaper.
