    Hi all, I just had a crazy idea and thought I will throw it in here to see what may bounce back :)

    What if I want to ride from India to Lithuania, cutting across Nepal, China, Xinjiang, maybe Kazachstan (or more'Stans) then Russia and into Lithuania.

    If I get a bike registered in my name, will I be let into China and be able to go across? I do have a Chinese DL.

    On the same topic, Im looking at some semi adventure riding bikes and their makers. A sort of bike that would be able to cut ~15K KM off all sorts of roads without a major rebuild. Is Shineray X5 a winner? Any thoughts what Indians make in the same sort category?

    Many thanks for your thoughts!

    I would say that you need bike which can be fixed everywhere, even though that may be a common cabbage bike.

    somewhere in the forum was report about two guys riding a 250 and a 400 Shineray to Germany(?).
    The had done several modification before starting. .... and arrived. I remember the 250 had a burned through piston in Usbekistan which made them waiting there until the replacement was delivered.
