China Cross Country Begins Tomorrow!
Hey,
My name is Chris Maupin and I am flying to Shanghai tomorrow to start my China cross-country (on the D/L) motorcycle trip. I will buy the bike in Wuxi with the help of a Chinese friend I made online. Then I will ride south and westerly down toward Yunan and try to cross into Laos there. Let's hope they let the bike through!
I will try to post more here about the specifics on registering the bike and the loopholes etc. Also, I will keep a blog with my location on the route:

Hopefully I will be able to figure out a way around all the systems and rules! Either way, it will be a hell of a trip!
Chris
