Whoa! Check out these military themed bikes,
complete with utility trailers! |

Take a look at this! It's an M1M with a very
cool trailer. Recognize those fenders? This bike is
awesome! |

South Korea's KBS sent a TV crew to film BKMC
in action yesterday. |
 |
The club put around ten Changs on display
and demonstrated their riding skills. |
 |
The producer is preparing a CDROM full of
professionally made images for Shao. |
 |
I sure hope some of those pictures their way
here! |
 |
Look at all these fantastic Changs! |

Another terrific bike from CJS. |

 |
M1M! The automotive BMW emblem looks pretty
good. |
| May 20,

|
 |
Take a gander at this M1M! It has
pinstriping and just the right level of flash. Nice. |

|
 |
Another flashy M1S from CJS! |
 |
This one's a bit more conservative than the
flame job posted below. |
 |
The white upholstery looks pretty good. |
 |
The slightly contrasting shades of blue on
the bike and the hubs is a nice touch. |

 |
Welcome to CJ Sidecar's new
showroom! |
 |
Wow! Look at all those beautiful Changs
parked out front! |
| May 15,
2004 |
|
 |
This M1S outfit was done up to resemble an
R71. |
 |
Chrome forks, tan sidecar seat leather and
numerous other details set this bike apart. |
 |
Here's one of Shao's trademark flame jobs.
It looks pretty fast doesn't it?! |

 |
This M1 solo is one of Shao's tributes to
the 1938 R71. Have you ever noticed how much different a
black CJ looks once it's been pinstriped? It definitely
looks vintage. |

|
 |
Not all of Shao's bikes have radical paint
jobs. Take, for example, this M1S CJS
just built for Marc Davis. You can't get
much more conservative than this. It captures some of the
R71 spirit, especially with the pinstriping. Sweet bike
indeed. |

 |
Here's the gas tank from Shao's latest
project bike! Remember the band Grateful Dead from the
sixties? This bike reminds me of their album covers. |
 |
From another angle. The enlarged image shows
the whole thing. |
 |
Here's the rear fender... |
 |
...and here's the back of the sidecar
fender. |
 |
And the front of the sidecar fender. |
 |
And last but not least, the sidecar trunk
lid. Shao is very excited about this project. It will be
quite a bike when it's completed, that's for sure. |

Shao thought we'd be interested in seeing
some of the items that might be found in the sidecar of a
Beijing Military Police bike... and he's right. This is a
box for the special hand-held lights the police use to
stop traffic. The brandas you can seeis COERC. |
 |
And this boxmarked COERCEcontains
something most of us have never seen and probably never
will except on TV... |
 |
...spike strips! I'd sure hate to run over a
set of these! |

The enlarged version of this picture is a
panoramic view of 33 PLA bikes, some of which have
whitewall tires! WOW! |

|
 |
Here's how Shao's latest bike looks without
the sidecarcoooool! |
 |
Shao loves this bike. He may have a hard
time saying goodbye when it's sold. |
 |
Somebody is going to absolutely love owning
this bike, no question about that.. |
| January
14, 2004 |
|
 |
WOW! This is Shao's latest creation, a
custom M1M solo. |
 |
Look at all the chrome and polished
aluminum... |
 |
...not to mention that paint job! These
bikes take on a whole new look when the rear seat
pedestal is left off. Sweet. |
 |
Look at those chrome pipes! |
 |
Somebody is going to love owning this bike. |

To CJ enthusiasts and
distributors everywhere, blessings for a happy Christmas
and a wonderful New Year from Shao. |

 |
Shao sent this image to show how his shop
strips components right down to the bare metal, the first
step of a good refinishing job. A lot of work goes into
Shao's bikes. |

|
 |
These PLA soldiers are posing with a CJ M1M
which you can see in the enlarged image. That might
explain the big smile! |
| 12/9/03 |
|
 |
Shao acquired this Russian IZh Jupiter
sidecar bike in a town near the Russian border. He'd like
to sell it. For more pictures click here and here. |
| 12/3/03 |
|
 |
Let's take a look inside the CJ750-X engine.
What's this? Some of the castings have BMW logos! (The
enlarged image shows much more.) |
 |
Here's another one. (Again, the enlarged
image shows more.) Shao's assertion that the 750-X engine
was in fact built by BMW is supported by these details.
Very interesting indeed. |
| 12/1/03 |
|
 |
More on the CJ750-X. This is the bike it
came from, a CJ swing-arm frame racer. |
 |
The racing team ordered around 20 6V CJs
with sidecar frames but no buckets. |
 |
The front brake and final drive are BMW
while everything else was made in China. |
 |
Shao also notes that there are BMW logos on
the engine and components. We'll try to get some images
of them for you. |
| 11/27/03 |
|
 |
WOW! Have you ever seen a CJ750-X
engine? According to Shao it's actually a BMW engine in
disguise! |
 |
When China founded the first national
motorcycle team they bought the bike from which this
engine came. During that time there were only two of
these BMWs. |
 |
Both were sidecar racing models. For some
reason they put the CJ logo on the engine. In the race
there were ten CJs and two BMWs. They only raced twice
and result was for sureBMW won every time. |
 |
This is most certainly a rarity and if
you're keen on repowering your CJ with a Beemer engine,
this one would be perfect! |
| 11/24/03 |
|
 |
This is Shao's idea of a WWII BMW R75
replica. |
 |
It features Afrika Korps tan and appropriate
markings. Riding around on a bike like this would be
great fun! |
 |
Nice ammo box. too. Not only does it look
good but it has a large carrying capacity as well. |
 |
Steel ammo boxes are right at home on a CJ. |
| 11/13/03 |
|
 |
Shao is famous! We'll see if we can get some
proper scans of this Beijing magazine article for you. |
 |
Meanwhile... |
 |
...another customer is on the line. |
 |
In the enlarged image you'll see five of
Shao's bikes. |
 |
The enlargement shows an exerpt from the
article... |
 |
...as does this one. |
| 11/9/03 |
|
 |
Does your state require emissions testing?
If so, you might want to take a look at this. |
 |
It's a filtration system with a small
catalytic converter cartridge. |
 |
Contact Shao at the e-mail address above if
you'd like more information on this system. |
| 10/29/03 |
|
 |
A beautiful line of Changs owned by members
of Shao's club, Beijing Knights MC. Wow! |
| 10/25/03 |
|
 |
Yaaaa-hoooo! Here comes one of Shao's bikes
with the chair high in the air! Look out! |
| 10/21/03 |
|
 |
This M1 started life in 1960 as a PLA bike. |
 |
Looks a little different now! |
 |
There's a lot of chrome plating and polish
on this machine. |
 |
You can enjoy a bike like this with the
sidecar attached or you can ride it... |
 |
...solo. This bike is currently available
from Shao's shop. |
 |
The rear fender looks nice without the rear
seat pedestal. |
 |
Look at those chrome straight pipes, too! |
 |
Contact Shao at the e-mail address if
interested in buying this fine bike. |
| 10/16/03 |
|
 |
This M1S is presently available from Shao's
shop. |
 |
Great Afrika Korps theme on this M1 Super. |
 |
M72 style sidecar frame with gas can to
boot. |
 |
BMW emblems and black-out cover on the
headlamp. |
 |
And a very stout front fender bracket. Look
out Monty! |
| 10/14/03 |
|
 |
Take a look at this M1 Super that Shao
built. Wow! |
 |
The gold pinstriping was all done by hand. |
 |
There's a $4500 price tag on this CJ, FOB
Beijing... |
 |
...or $2998 without the sidecar. |
 |
What a sharp looking bike! |
| 9/29/03 |
|
 |
Four old PLA bikeseach with less than
1000km on the odometer! |
 |
|
 |
This is a CJ that Shao
builtphotographed in Sweden! |
| 8/29/03 |
|
 |
A nice assortment of number and ID tags Shao
removed from bikes being dismantled in his shop.
Recognize any of them? |
 |
These frame tags date from 1960, 1969 and
1987. Neat! |
| 8/22/03 |
|
 |
Take a look at this M1 Super. |
 |
The character of a bike is based largely on
its paint color. |
 |
Notice the script on the fuel tank too. |
 |
Somebody is going to love owning this CJ. |
| 8/23/03 |
|
 |
This is a nice M1 solo. |
 |
It's a clean bike with just the right amount
of chrome. |
 |
The side stand is mounted on the forward
engine mount. |
 |
Nice! |
 |
Here's an M1 sidecar machine. Notice
anything unusual? |
 |
The gas tank emblem is backwards! |
| 8/13/03 |
|
 |
Shao sent a few more shots
from his shop in Beijing. This one is a CJ R71 copy which
is on its way to its new owner, Alex Avezbakiyev.
See Scott's
page for
a couple more images of this bike as well as a whole
bunch on Alex's page. |
 |
And here is a CJ sidecar decorated
BMW-style. |
 |
This is a BMW R80 with a CJ sidecar. |
 |
|
 |
Shao has been working on
Changs since he was 17. This one was built in his shop.
It's been stretched 10cm. Looks a little bit like a
Harley. |
 |
This BMW R71 sidecar copy was also built by
Shao. |
