Hello to all. I just found this site and was overwhelmed with the pics and video of rural China road trips. I'm looking for work in CN right now and plan to experience rural China myself. So I have some questions. I read where it is difficult to import used bikes. Can one get around that impediment by disassembling a bike and shipping in in pieces as 'motor bike parts". Could a guy buy a wrecked CN bike, remove the ID plate and put it on his bike, and use the lic plate that the wrecked bike had issued?

I doubt that the average police officer in CN or the US knows what various bikes should look like. Now please don't go off on me about ethics, late model used KLR 650s can be had here in the US for $2,000-$2,500, and the KLR 250 for $1,500. So long as a bike has got a title and tag and not been stolen what's the beef?
