Thanks - I have done riding in China and I am familiar with the CAA carnet requirement. My situation is simply that I can bring a bike from the US (I am a citizen), or I can bring a bike licensed in HK (I am a permanent resident). The cost of buying a bike in HK is 50% higher than the US. Is there any value given anti-American sentiment in places like Pakistan (rest of central asia, other locations) in having the unidentifiable yellow plate from HK (looks like UK plate) or just go ahead with the cheaper option, a US-plated bike? I should have been more explicit, appreciate any reactions.
