Beijing to Shanghai

In August 2010 Singapore bike club Team 27 organized a fly-ride big bike tour from Beijing to Shanghai with the support of a Chinese travel agency. The ride was 1740 km in 14 Days. 28 bikes were shipped from Singapore, roughly 1/3 BMW, 1/3 Harley-Davidson, 1/3 Japanese, and one Ducati. The bikes were shipped by ocean freight to Beijing then back to Singapore from Shanghai. In China the bikes had to follow in convoy behind a minivan which carried the Chinese travel agents who dealt with toll booths, highway police, and other en-route logistics. An intercity tourist coach and a truck for disabled bikes followed behind the convoy. By the end of the tour, two Harleys and the Ducati would be rolled into the truck.
