Thanks Farquar, China is not a "destination" as such. It's a route to get to the Pamirs. For me, the most interesting, but not the only one. Katrina, my wife and I are about to set off on a multi year RTW trip. The last 6 months have been spent setting up a new Africa Twin and it is that and that only, we shall take. Although she has her m/bike license, she is neither a confident, nor experienced rider. So on a few counts China is out, unless we can nail down a reasonable cost guide. I will not do it with a gun to my head by unscrupulous guides. We've been travelling the world on motorbikes and with kids for 35 years and the mere thought of using a guide, I find repugnant. But unfortunately at this point in time, there is little other choice, unless it's done they way you have. That I could do on my own in a heart beat, but sadly not the wife. Even if she survived the experience, I'd have heart failure worrying about her.
Daveandles I'm still waiting on a reply from desert_roses. Can you enlighten me on an aproximate cost, as you experienced it?
Cheers
Graeme
