Post by: Razgriz on January 15, 2009, 09:28:12 PM
Whats up guys!!! Long time no see!
I just came back from a 3 week vocation in Taiwan & China that would explain my sudden disappearance haha
Anyways, heres some pictures of probably the second biggest Ducati dealer in Taiwan.
I'll post more pictures of the trip in a bit!

The Taiwan Dainese D-Store is right next door by complete coincidence they tell me

The service area, that Sport1000 undercover on the left apparently belongs to this Taiwanese pop idol

They wouldn't let me take pictures in the D-Store so I just took one of the entrance haha

I'll post more pictures of the trip as I upload them into photobucket.

Haha I'm still around! I hope everyone had a good Xmas and new year! I've been trying to get some rides in between classes and work since i've been back... This will be my last semester of real school so hopefully after this I can ride full time all the time haha. I'll only have actual free time this semester on Sundays... so if theres ANY ride on sundays let me know!!!

I'll try and post up more pics of Hong Kong and China soon, my computer's been hating me since I neglected it for 3 weeks.

Just FIY a regular Hypermotard in Taiwan costs roughly NT$1,000,000 which equals US$30,000, I didn't wanted to hear how much a 848 or the new 1198 would cost. I saw a Monster in Macau when I was there (Ducatis are VERY VERY rare in the mainland), the roads there are AMAZING, admittidly waaay smaller than what I'm used to drive on but the majority of it are all moutain one way roads and the traffic is very good; the taxi drivers actually look out for motorcycles!!

They better not open a Dainese store here... my wallet would hate me, the only thing that stopped my from buying anything at the Taiwan store was because the Dollar sucked haha

Chinese new year is next monday so happy new year again everyone haha
Hope to see you guys soon! I promise I'll make it to tuesday ducnite one of these days haha
