Thanks corporal_clegg, I've had a look at taobao, we have a similar thing here in Japan, http://global.rakuten.com/en/ where I've found some good looking stuff at pretty reasonable prices so will...

Interesting and useful information in the thread, thanks.
I'm in the market for a full set of protective clothing for long distance touring. I see links to taobao which I believe is a web based...

Just checked out the prices for a new YBR250 on http://www.goobike.com/motorcycle/?rt=gbtop in Japan and it's very similar to China.

I will also be keen to see how you get on with this. I've been in touch with a friend in Yiwu city and he has made enquiries on my behalf and has said that as long as I take lessons that getting a...

Incredible stuff, can't get enough of this thread. :clap:

Another fantastic post, keep it up as you've developed a pretty avid following and we look forward to your latest.

Can anybody please tell me how to make these route maps that show the progress of the trip? I've tried it with Google "My Places" but not had any success with that. Is there a download that I can use?

Thanks for the great pics and words, a truly epic adventure. I'll be interested to see which route you take from Tibet to Kunming.
The little bike seems to be taking it well.

When you get time it would...

Nice thread, thanks for taking the time to post it.

He went via Pakistan taking the shortest possible route through China to keep the costs down. From memory he hooked up with a couple of other riders and they had a travel specialist organise the...

Thanks Slabo, I read their story a couple of months ago, an amazing adventure and testament to the spirit of just giving it a go and see what happens. Also read another huge adventure story by a...

Just found this wonderful web site this morning and very happy that I did. I'd like to return to China after the summer for more travels, this time by bike rather than by bus, train and plane.
I'm...
