I was up in San Francisco a week or so ago and I stopped by good buddy Barry’s San Francisco Scooter Centre for two reasons:\u00a0 To say hello to Barry, and to check out the new Genuine G400c motorcycle. \u00a0 It’s the bike manufactured by Shineray (in Chongqing, China), and I had seen two versions of it when I rode across China on an RX3 nearly three years go.<\/p>\n

The new Genuine’s pricing in the San Francisco Scooter Centre. Like other Asian and Indian bikes from Royal Enfield, CSC, and BMW, the price is seriously lower than others on the market from the Big 4 and Europe. Unlike many other dealers, the San Francisco Scooter Centre’s setup, documentation, and freight charges are honest and reasonable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I didn’t have the time or the gear to ride the Genuine G400c last week, but Barry said he wants me to try the new machine and he offered a ride. \u00a0 I’m going to do that later this month, and I’ll tell you more about the bike when I do.<\/p>\n

The products available to us as motorcyclists sure are changing, and there’s no doubt the imports from China and India are rocking our world. \u00a0 Gresh and I have a bit of experience on Zongshen’s RX3, RX4<\/a>, and TT250 (made in China and imported by CSC). \u00a0 I’ve had some seat time on the new BMW 310<\/a> made in India. \u00a0 Joe and I recently completed a week-long adventure in Baja riding the Royal Enfield<\/a> 500cc Bullet and their new 650cc Interceptor (both made in India).\u00a0 I don’t have any time yet on Harley’s 500cc and 750cc v-twin cruisers (also made in India), but I’m working on correcting that character flaw. \u00a0 There’s an old proverb that says “may you live in interesting times.”\u00a0 We certainly are.<\/p>\n

Hey, more good news:\u00a0 I finally received my printed copies of Destinations<\/a><\/em>, and my story on Kitt Peak National Observatory is in the next issue of Motorcycle Classics<\/em> magazine. \u00a0 You can see all of the Destinations<\/em><\/a> pieces (and get your very own copy) right here<\/a>.\u00a0 Good buddy Mike did.\u00a0 Mike and I graduated junior high school and high school together back in the day (as in 50 years ago), and we still talk to each other a couple of times each month.\u00a0 Good friends and good times!<\/p>\n
