Jim,
Thanks for the comment. The part in Hotan was supposed to get a little trippy...the whole experience itself was a VERY trippy! As a first film, the idea was to work out some creative muscles.
Cannonball was a ZhongXin ZX150-5. Basically it's a Honda Nighthawk 250 with a 150 engine in it. She was very comfortable to ride and had a good cruising speed. Actually, she would have been better suited to the trip I took in 2006 but that's what learning is about. You can do wild things with just about any bike, The saving grace of these simple machines is exaclty their simplicity. Since the tolerances of manufacturing are pretty poor on the first place, they're surprisingly good at running in adverse conditions. The biggest problem was I was making Cannonball do things she was not designed to do, especially in the power/weight area.
Nobody's fault but mine.
