Thanks all for the replies, but I'm really looking for anyone who's gone up and had a go without all of the official paperwork. I understand the official requirements; that's what prompted this question in the first place. I would like to hear from people like this guy (taken from another thread):

Hi All,
Actually it looks like mine good fortune. I have been in China and Tibet with my own Africa Twin 6 years ago. I did it alone with Chinese visa in my passport only. No guides, no plates, no money for nothing. The only gate I can recommend is Druzhba (Kazakhstan). This is a very small crossing used by trucks and trains from Kaz to Urumqi. People never had seen a tourists before I appeared there. I would have a spare choice in cause of doing it again. I am not sure if it is working now or closed. Now I am planning my next trip to Australia through Southern Asia. That is why I think about the China again.

xt1200z: Have you seen anything specific about this on Ride Asia? I had a good look through but couldn't find anything beyond getting a guide at the Boten border.
