Chinabiker: He, by his own admission, has no Chinese driving licence. See this post on ADVrider (#46). Makes for very interesting reading re. attitude of (some) traffic police towards unlicensed...

You're not condoning a non-licenced foreigner riding a motorbike in China are you Chinabiker?:confused1:

Excellent links, CC. Thanks for that.:goodtime:

You are all probably aware of this; but if not, this is a pretty interesting account of a couple of Aussies who rode a couple of Transalps (legally and unescorted) across China in 1994. They claim to...

How did he manage to type that the same day as chopping 3 fingers off?:confused1:

Thanks ZMC888, I haven't forgotten about your earlier offer of help. I want to go to Xinjiang as a first choice, so I am following leads there at the moment. However, if that proves to be a...

Probably already been clarified but; I spoke to somebody in the "Beijing traffic management bureau" (北京市公安局公安交通管理局) and was told that temporary licences only covered cars. I went on to ask about...

No worries, I look forward to hearing about what you uncover. I have bought my plane ticket, and I am still hopeful of riding legally (still chasing up a few of my own leads), so any information you...

Is this some info you want to share with the group Chinabiker?:goodtime:

Looks good Kurisu; now where's that spare $39.99 I had lying around gone?:mwink:

I am watching this thread with much interest. Any ideas which cities are more forthcoming in issuing licences?:riding:

Excellent. Thanks for that, ChinaV.:goodtime:

Hello all. Could someone tell me how many miles the QingQi 200GY gets to a tank (10.6 litres?). Or the fuel economy of other Chinese brands of a similar type (dual-sport). Is there a big difference...

Nice photos; I really miss Beijing again now.:goodtime:

Hello peterkue. The 2009 Taklimakan rally will be held on Sep.1st to Sep.10th 2009, and the deadline for entry is May 1st (for automobile team and truck team), and the motorcycle team's deadline for...

Now, CC, you are surely not suggesting something that wouldn't be totally legal in the PRC are you! I'm shocked!:icon10::naughty::lol8:

Subcribed:thumbsup:. Good luck ZMC.

Sorry, I was a bit slow in seeing this post. OK, that makes more sense to me now. Thanks bigdamo:thumbsup:

I am planning on a bike trip to China (Xinjiang) in Autumn this year. I am going to buy a bike, but need some advice on how to register it properly in China. I know you can ride an unregistered bike...

Thanks for that. So, no residence permit, no legitimate licence. Or, pay vast amounts for the "tour" option. Plan "C", I think.:goodtime:

Is this is a scam, or is it genuine? Real or fake licences? What do you think, does anybody know of or have any experience of this agency? Thanks.:thumbsup:

Thanks for the link CC; I have emailed them. You never know, I may get a reply!

CrazyCarl: could you give me some more detailed info about entering the rally? Things like entry requirements; costs; own bike or some sort of factory sponsorship - unlikely I know:naughty:. I may be...

Thanks for all the replies so far. I will look into the QingQi; but please keep the suggestions coming. Ta.

Any of you guys still plan on riding the rally this year?
