Checkpoint Chaser threads a trail through rain-washed mountains and misty valleys, where the weather shapes the ride as much as the terrain. He discovers his bike’s chain is fraying and its sprockets may be failing, a problem that looms over each mile and each pothole. A new navigation mount arrives in four to five days, offering the promise of Google Maps rather than a Chinese device, but for now he improvises with a fragile setup on a tight steer. The humor and resilience shine through as he searches for a garage to fix or replace components, while also chasing a chance to visit the Yi museum and witness their vibrant clothing and language. The landscape alternates between cloud-kissed peaks, cascading waterfalls, and rough, landslide-rutted roads that demand focus and balance. He smiles at the mystical cloud cover and the corn-drying walls in small villages, then reflects on safety, the peril of riding with a dwindling chain, and the long road ahead toward Lugu Lake and beyond. The ride remains a meditation on travel in China: grand scenery, gritty logistics, and the steady hope that a solution will materialize before the chain’s last link breaks.
Checkpoints Chaser takes us on a demanding yet visually stunning ride through Yunnan and into Sichuan as the rider copes with a fragile bike and shifting plans. The day begins with a mix of awe at misty clouds and mountains and worry about low battery and a risky chain that keeps getting shorter, now with only a few link sections left before a failure could end the trip. He explains that a new navigation mount is on the way, hoping to swap to a phone-based system rather than a Chinese device that might block essential apps. The journey is punctuated by intimate encounters with the Yi people, whose colorful clothing and village life offer a cultural counterpoint to the road’s challenges. He learns about the Yi’s history, then connects that history to the land as roads wind through rainfall, landslides, and spectacular vistas. Through soggy mornings, fog-diffused valleys, and occasional sun breaks, he searches for dependable repairs, hunting for sprockets while balancing safety and the “
A gripping motorcycle espouses beauty and risk across Yunnan and Sichuan, where breathtaking scenery and Yi culture meet practical breakdowns and hard choices.
Riding the Beautiful China: Yi Culture, Lakes, and a Damaged Chain on
00:01 Start with a backup plan for navigation if a device fails: attach a phone securely and test the mount before long legs.
02:54 Monitor chain and sprockets daily; if you see the chain slipping or missing links, slow down and seek a garage with the right parts.
15:00 Avoid riding into thunderstorms; when weather looks unstable, reassess routes and safety margins with local riders.
21:28 Be ready for landslides and washed-out sections; carry a simple spare and know where to detour safely.
29:18 Engage with local culture and stops; a museum visit can offer richer context than a rushed museum stop, but safety first on the road.

I would slow down, look for a nearby garage with sprockets, and assess if it’s safe to continue the ride or if I need to wait for a repair while keeping to safer stretches.
