When we got our permits and stuff last year, 6-8 weeks was good.

True enough John - as I said those links are not quite what he was looking for but getting you and your vehicle into the place is a start; as someone somewhere or other once said "the longest journey starts with but one step".
It will be a year or two before I make it that far but if I was going now I would accept a guide for say Erenhot-Urumqi then take my chances and head south alone but then I would be in a truck with my bike on the back.
You did actually get the licenses for you and your bike for China though John?
