Here's a selection of bikes currently available from Luke. Note the Indian-style valanced fenders on the red OHV.
 
We moved from the old place to new store now, it is near the old place (8 Tianzhu East Road, Tianzhu, Capital Airport. Beijing).
We orgnized trip for our opening!
 
"Photos of one R71, made by one of our Germany friend." [Note the painted final drive and front brake hub. The carbs are swapped. Adjusting them must be a chore. Funky exhaust, too.]
 
OHV with a Swiss flag emblem on the sidecar. There's a stereo system mounted in the boot.
 
Here's a nice pair of bikes. Note the tank shifter on the blue Super.
 
Ava Lou writes: "A new folding children here. The two boards of the children seats are folded, and there is a special lock behind the cover of the trunk, it’s very different from the normal one. This time if you put things inside of the trunk, no need to worry about the things will be take off by others, you can lock it safely. I think more and more people will like it later. After the whole bike completed, I will post some other pictures."
 
The paint and upholstery on this CJ set it apart. "Live to ride..."
 
An SV with a sidecar rumble seat.
 
 
Ava writes: "We just had a trip today, the destination is the Water Great Wall, though the weather is little hot in BeiJing today, nearly twenty people joined us, so cool, this is the first time for me join such trips, I was so excited, very interesting, hope I can also join them next time. ;> I just sit in the sidecar box, and took many pictures. ;> just share it.'
"Luke just like before, looks very cool."
"Pierre and Andreas preparing for start."
"Thomas with his girl."
"This is a new guy from Norway."
"This is the very different bike we have today."
"Here we are."
"Hi look at this, what were they talking, so happy."
"Waiting for the lights."
"We stop bought some water and something else."
"We had lunch here."
[No caption]
"So many guys wave hands to me."
"One bike has a small problem."
"On our way home."
 
"We just shipped nine bikes to Australia and Spain, now the bikes are on their way to their new owners."
 
"Here are some pictures from Marko in Finland. He is quite happy with the bike and made the test drive. And now he is going to finish the registration there."
 
Luke with an F4. Nice helmet.
 
Jari Peuhkuri is from Finland and lives in Shanghai with his family. "The bike arrived well protected in a wooden crate on a truck. It was 10:00PM and dark. The drivers demolished the crate. When they arrived at our compound they had absolutely no idea how to get the bike off the truck. There were no lifting devices. I have seen many bike deliveries from Beijing to Shanghai and this is what happens every time. Fortunately in the neighborhood there's a place which can be used as a loading platform. My loud and proud black CJ safely in my garage. It needs some washing and tuning."  
 
 
Open house at Beijing Sidecar Solution.
There's something special about sidecars and kids...
 
A couple machines owned by Perttu (Shanghai) and Peter Heinz. I like the traditional CJ750 gas tank emblems with the BMW-style paint job.
 
This batch of pictures shows, among other things, four new F4 bikes.
 
"Jackie from Houston ordered two bikes—one for herself and one for her mother. They are ready for shipping."
 
This OHV was built for Greg in Pennsylvania. Notice anything unusual (for a CJ) about the brake drums? Note the custom taillight and upholstery.
 
This machine is destined for Finland.
 
"Here is a picture taken outside of my house. We all like the bike very much which bring us a lot of fun. Since you offered the bike four years ago we have been enjoying the bike." (From Mr. Bark in Sweden)
 
A pair of flatheads owned by Gerd in Germany.
As you can see, he makes pretty good use of them.
 
F4-II That's right, Luke has built a second F4 CJ.
 
"Brian [Bassett] sent me a few pictures which also show his nice house and beautiful backyard. The bike cost him US $5600. Recently we have been busy and haven't answered all our e-mails. Song in Vietnam needs some parts."
"Mr. Beckerman in Germany (who got his bike by air freight) needs some service. Another German university student needs a bike. Mazen also wants a bike. We have to say sorry that we didn't serve you very good."
"We cannot supply a suitable bike to overseas customers efficiently at moment, but we will try our best to help you later. Don't be disappointed." (Luke gets high points for honesty.)
 
"Here are three pictures of Wan Chee Meng's bike from Malaysia. As lots of customers like to have a custom bike, Mr. Wan waited one month then finally got his bike."
"He drives it every day to go to work."
(Mr. Wan isn't the only CJ enthusiast in the family.)
 
Peter Becker's pearl white M1M.
 
Dennis Ross with his wife Alex had a Mayday trip from Beijing to famous Beidaihe in Hebei province. They rode 800km (on one bike) without any problems. For more pictures and other interesting stuff, visit Dennis' website: www.rossportfolio.net
 
"Marcel works in Toyko. He, with his family came to Beijing and visited our shop. Take a look at the whole family on F4."
 
Luke anticpates a big demand for two-passenger sidecars like the one he built for the F4.
As a precaution, he took out a patent on the design. And here it is.
 
Here's the F4 all ready for its new owner.
 
 
The F4 is finished and ready for action. It's a one-of-a-kind CJ. Luke was smart to use the OHV engine.
Those extra ten horses will be useful when she's fully loaded.
 
This is Uwe's M1M.
 
"Mursch works for BMW and he knows a lot about bikes. He even changes the normal side car into a longer one, such as his green bike. Currently he has ordered four bikes here. "
"Two of them are finished. He helped a lot in our mechanic work. He also pushes the chrome factory to get better quality. By the way, he likes chrome very much."
 
What a difference that front end makes in the overall appearance of this solo Super.
This bike has front disc brakes, by the way. I'll bet it moves right along.
 
A Super all ready to ship. How do you like the red pinstriping against the black finish?
Look at the upholstery and the sidecar windshield, too.
 
"After finishing the solo with disc brake, we got another design for the sidecar bike. "
"We call it F4 (Family Four) which means a four-member family can seat on one bike. "
 
 
 
Just almost finished Mursch's bike.
