Hey Paul,
I'm really not sure what to expect at burma and will probably make a decision once I get close from what I hear from locals etc. I'm always game to give it a try but while the country is changing and becoming more open, I have a sneaky suspicion that the last people to hear about this new found liberalism will be the border guards. I'll update my blog when I'm there and try to let you know how I get on.
I like the idea about putting the bike in boxes when stripped down - should be doable as long as they don't check the boxes...
I heard somewhere that you had to enter and leave through the same border pot in Burma - need to check that myself but that might be an issue if true...
