China here we come

It seems like there are a few people crossing China in May or September, Damn what a pity these dates can't work for me. I will be looking to travel across China from Mongolia to Laos. Departing Ulanbataar between 1st July and 1st August

I am travelling from Mongolia Ulaanbaatar crossing the china border and heading to Laos by bike.
I have a travel company that will arrange all paperwork and an English speaking guide which is a legal requirement when doing a self drive through china. This is quite an expensive option (USD12000, for 30 days) for one person. I am looking to join other travelers crossing china to share this tour option.
I am fairly flexible on dates (leaving Mongolia anytime between 1st July and 1st August) flexible on duration (15 to 35 days, it can be done in 15 days at a push, but depend son what sites you don’t want to see) and will take any route (as long as I get from Mongolia to Laos) a shorter trip will cost a bit less, but I am happy to be flexible.

I’m looking to travel with other bikes or 4x4 the more the merrier. I’ve been told that it can take up to 3 months to get all the paperwork done so let me know asap if you are interested
THANKS

There is still room in another thread about a group booking, which will save a bucket load of money, but the date is for September, read this thread

The cost is a lot cheaper than what you will pay single, it seems a waste to throw that much away?

If you can massage your travel dates, it may be worth your while

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
