Hi ChinaV,
I looked into this exactly 12 months ago.
It is just too difficult, I live up in Shandong Prov.
I was going to ship the bike down to Nanning on the train, then ride from Nanning to Dongxing, through passport and customs, and into Mong Cai.
I gave up in the end and just did a short trip in Vietnam, without the bike.
Now 12 months down the line, and the plan is almost the same as previous, execpt not going to even bother taking the bike from China at all.
The first plan was to buy 2 x small bikes in HCMC, then ride North.
Now, we have been having a "rethink" and we are thinking about buying the 2 x small bikes in Hanoi, and riding south.
The reason for this is we can get the last of the remaining decent weather in the north of Vietnam, and then the weather will remain good, as we head southwards.
So, to the question about taking the bikes from CHN into VN, if you find a way, then let me know, but I had a royal "run around"
Vette
