NAKED AND BOLD

Now, whether you like it or not, the Chinese two-wheeler industry has expanded beyond its domestic market, and is making its place in the international market. Well, before you frown after reading that line, you should know that the Chinese two-wheeler industry is the largest in the world, and is also a major manufacturer and exporter of motorcycle parts and accessories.
