Hope anyone with experience can give a few pointers. I am in the early stages of planning a trip of a lifetime from China to Western Europe.
My questions are?
- What documentation is required to leave China with a Chinese registered bike, in my name?
- Should documents be translated into another language, i.e. English, Russian, etc.
- I only have a Chinese motorbike licence. Will this be a problem, since an International Driving Permit might be unobtainable. And then the translation question again.
- What happens when my bike's licence expire when I am on the road, which is highly likely? Can I renew it before the trip?

Any other advice? I am planning for possibly May 2019, probably May/June 2020 departure from Taihu area in Zhejiang province, crossing China to Kashgar and into Kazakhstan. Then through Kazakhstan, into Russia, turning south through Georgia into Turkey. From there westwards towards Portugal. Company welcome
