	Jim sent this link to a ride report with pictures. You'll need to scroll down a bit.
	Clay Jones had to deal with oily clutches due to blown seals.
	Clay also sent a couple pics of his neighbor.
	Here's a photo link from Arne Braun where you will see the bikes that gathered for a CJ meet in Altmerdingsen, Germany. There was Russian iron and a few Beemers as well.
	And here's a little You-Tube clip from the same event, also from Arne. (There's a number of other CJ videos linked on this page, too.)

	This is great!
	Two CJS flatties from Shao, one with very novel valanced fenders.
	Also from Shao: "Our Tibet trip plan will be ahead of schedule. Tomorrow, we will be on our way from Shanghai to Xi'an, and then from Xi'an to Golmud the day after. Our motorcycle riding will begin in the morning of June 29, and then back to Shanghai around July 11. There are seven bikes for this time."
	A new tank graphic? It says Chang Jiang using traditional characters, and it could be done in a really nice two-part vinyl, roughly 5" wide.

	My kinda bike—from Clay Jones in Beijing
	Here's a pair of low-budget tank badges I made from cheesy "rock star" belt buckles I found on eBay. I had to grind off all the crap on the backsides to get them flat. That was tricky because they're made of pewter which kept clogging up the grinding stone, but we prevailed. They'll go on my tan bike.
	Sand blasted and coated with stove paint. This exhaust system is for my wrecked bike. What I'd really like is another set of empty fishtails so I can have that excellent straight-pipe sound, but with the vintage look of fishtails. My previous set got trashed in the accident.
	From Lutz Kraus: Here's a Russian postage stamp from 1999 that celebrates the M72!
	Beta is down for the count! The final drive of John Heim's bike took a pretty nasty dump at 50 mph. Now John is looking for a replacement. If anyone can assist, send him a mail at johnh9097@aol.com

	This tag probably went on the frame somewhere. It's from CNAMC, the China Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Company and was sent by Bill Taylor.
	This undated engine tag is also from CNAMC, compliments of Bill Taylor.
	These PLA flag stickers came from eBay. They're way too cheesy to go on the bike, but they'll be fine for sticking on helmets, etc.
