China
Hi All
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I have to start somewhere. Want to do a ride next year (this year riden around Morocco and got two other trips planned) and have always wanted to ride through China. Is it pos and what do I need to do in the way of paperwork? If this is not an option anyone know if you can ride through Korea? Thanks Pete

From what I understand, China is virtually impossible to enter with your own bike, even with the proverbial bribe, although I think you can enter with your own bike if you hire an authorized guide. There are tours set up to ride, but no official bike rentals.
Apparently, you can buy a Chinese bike if you have someone who lives there (a citizen) register the bike in their name, but the licensing is murky. Go to MyChinaMoto.com - Chinese Motorcycle Community and Resources which is a Chinese-manufactured bike enthusiast site, but there are several members who are ex-pats of various countries living and working in China who could probably help you out as far as setting you up with a bike. I do think you are out of luck getting your own bike into China, unless you spend a heap of cash to do so.

Thanks for the reply. Been reading up on it and it looks like you just have to take a chance and see if you can get in with a bike. Licences and insurance seem problems as well.
Think I might look at this another way and see where I can fly my bike to, so I can have a months ride without having to ride from the UK. Any suggestions would be nice. Pete

I can suggest that you contact Gareth or Jo Morgan. They rode the Silk Route into China back a few years. They would be in a position to tell you what it took to get their BMW's into China. I don't know if they had to get a guide along with the group of 5 riders. You can contact them through their web site www.worldbybike.com .
Cheers Chris

See the Northern Asia forum for Korea
Not a problem if your country is a party to the 1949 Convention on International Road Traffic (as opposed to the 1968 convention) and the Southern Asia forum for China You need a guide and couple months of advance planning. These topics are covered heavily in the respective regional forums.
