The Bike Album Cover

So, is there any special significance to the album cover? Has it anything to do with China, or something? Please forgive my ignorance. Haha

apparently when Axl toured China, he stumbled upon a wall with 'guns n roses' graffitid on it, and a bike leaning against it, i think that's it, or someone showed him a photo of the graffiti and bike, one of the two.

Ah, I see. That's pretty cool, but I still kinda hoping for a more symbolic cover. Thanks.

That was the first bike ever made by the Wright brothers in 1906 and also the Wright brothers were huge GNR fans and they took that pic and it was most recently discovered in the ancient deserts of the tokyo

i guess its really symbolic to axl, i mean someone had risked a lot to graffiti the GNR name on the wall, speaks volumes about how much they love and adore him, and GNR. the reputed new cover(seems pretty obvious it is) is very symbolic and metaphoric, then again everything is open to interpretation.
