I live in a city, and the number of English speakers is quite low. They do exist, but few are very proficient. Where I bought my current bike, nobody speaks English.

I'm mostly riding in the city, and on high speed roads. I do like to go out on the more bendy roads when I want to lean.

... sort out a test ride. I speak very little Chinese. Would be useful to know what kind of riding you mainly do? Are you in cities a lot of the time where good visibility would help. or out on the open roads where it's not so much of an issue. As to what to expect from a bigger bike, it's really ...

... day for fun and for riding to work. I don't think I'd be able to sort out a test ride. I speak very little Chinese. What brings you to china then? Where did you originally come from? Do introduce yourself :) Well, I'm originally from England but I've been living in China for over two years now. ...

... as I found out last week, this goes a little wrong and it puts a cap on your connection that is too restrictive. I was reduced down to 0.5mbps where as I should be running at over 10mbps. It might be worth a call to your service provider as they can get the cap reset and put the connection ...

cheers for all the input guys, if I dont post tomrrow tell the police to check over the railway lines as im sure thats where she would hide the body :) HAHA I did look at the 800 Kwacky but I dont know what it is there is just something I really love about the 2010 onwards thou's. ...

... taking my helmet off when I go in to pay, but it really fecks me off when they make you take it off at the pump. I fill up sitting on the bike so where am I supposed to put it? On the dirty diesel covered floor? Morrisons seem to be the worst offenders around here so now I don't use them for the ...

Where did you find kangaroo steak over here?!

Yep, I have. In all honesty I don't mind taking my lid off. There's a large petrol station near where I work with pay at the pump. I use that because it's quick and I want to get home. I've always stuck my card in and got on with things, knowing I can be away quickly. A ...

Soppy, maybe. But also correct IMHO.

Home is always where your heart is at.

... the UK. My wife wouldn't leave her parents behind. I would leave in the blink of an eye but my wife wouldn't. She's not a great fan of change. Where to? Germany for me. Or maybe somewhere further afield, like Vietnam.

That's the one I always use. Don't forget if you're testing it over wireless you'll get differing results depending what you're testing it on and where you are from the router.

I'd like to go to Australia. I'm in college at the moment, hoping to go to uni to retrain and get a job that will enable me more flexibility in deciding where to settle.
