Yea my family are selling mining/quarrying equipment made out of our Chinese factory. Long story short, I decided to step out of that business to start my family; can't bring my wife and raise a kid in the middle of nowhere China... HK's no Vancouver but it's a little better... been trying to make my way back to Canada ever since but it's tough to make that leap of selling everything to move back again. I did NOT see where I am today when I joined Revscene all those years ago LOL

LOL it is! I cringe at some of the stuff I wrote on XANGA all those years ago thank God it's offline now
... Are you also on BCSB under the same name? I vaguely remember your user name from somewhere...

And guys, Hyde is a real person, not a figment of our imagination; I remember there was a thread about him years ago and he was in HK and I was in HK and Revsceners wanted me to call him to see if he really exists ROFL

i hope you didn't give up riding after your move and starting a new family because i miss it still, but not enough to get another. the theft was one thing, but having icbc accuse me of insurance fraud (it was stolen with 2 weeks remaining on my storage policy) made it worse. after 9 months and hiring a lawyer, i had to take a settlement that did not fully compensate me for the loss or my legal bills... and i was still owing money on it :(

but i'm over it now (i think).

Yea I still have a bike in HK and use it to commute. WTF that's pretty messed up about ICBC; though I'm not surprised even from the days when I was in Vancouver all the stories I hear about ICBC fking people over especially bikers and the crazy premiums. HK's automotive insurance industry is much much more competitive

good to know you didn't give it up... but i still think you are either really crazy, brave or just dedicated to ride a bike in HK. to me traffic over there is like richmondX10. stay safe.

i still remember the cost to insure my yamaha r1 for a 1/2 year was more than what i was paying for my car for the full year :mad:

The HK people here are ok since the road systems here takes all judgement out of the equation; it's bad in Richmond cause of the North American system of assuming the drivers have some good common sense... i.e, you don't merge onto a highway of cars moving at 100+kph by stopping at the on ramp and then slowly try to enter the highway.... And I ride a zx14r now, I would never use a scooter here, they totally look down on scooters and they don't have enough power or brakes to get out of trouble, one rev from my 2 bros exhaust usually either wakes them up or gets me out of danger. The lessons from Dat Louie has served me well and kept me accident free for 10 years since I got my bike license now.

You should get back into it, never too late =)

Hahaha wow it's good people knows! My username's Titus (same as one here on RS before I was banned for commenting on a 3 year old thread while I was bored at an office in India). Yea I posted the Rein on bc4x4 to show case the LED light bar I had; was trying to start a business selling that in Canada but in the end it's tough when I'm in China and people just see me as "another Chinese out to make a quick buck with no customer service". Approached North Shore Off Road with a few samples and a distributor price list but no one contacted me back. Tried to get some friends interested back home to be my sales rep but after a lot of talk and samples, not one single sale. Oh well.
