Hi all,
We are already two, and one more is in doubt.
Our plan, almost decided, is crossing China from Kyrgyzistan through Irkeshtam pass the 7 or 8th of August and 4 days later (3 nights in China) crossing to Pakistan border through Khonjerab pass.
We've been in contact with Nova and Kashgar Newland; the best quotation is given by the later. No problem in sending it by PM.
If interested let us know.

I'm interested about the quotation, but I don't undersand why not to make it public.
Only 3 nights looks like unnecessary rush: 5 o 6 looks more realistic and enjoyable: if I have to spend money, at least, I need to enjoy the trip :-)

Hi, mazmaz,
You are absolutely required to be with a guide all your stay in China. He drives his own vehicle; one of the reasons it's about 1000$ per bike.

Hey guys,
I guess you are not very flexible anymore? I want to cross the Chinese border from Kyrgyzstan too, but I need to do it around 29th July-1st of August because I have to make it through Pakistan to India on time to go to a wedding.

Hi, Got2Go,
I'm very sorry, but I must be working in Europe until August 5; on 6 August my plane arrives to Osh where it's my bike. Thus, 7 August is my first possible entry day but, as border seems to be closed in weekends (so I've read, al least), we'll have to wait till 8 August.

Kyrgystan-China-Pakistan (Karakoram) Oct/Nov 2016
Hi everyone 
My boyfriend and I are planning to cross Kyrgystan-China-Pakistan via Karakoram in late Oct or early Nov 2016. I don't know if you'd be interested in teaming up to share the costs? We are already in touch with a tour operator through China (4 days) but have not made any fixed agreements yet. We are by Volkswagen van.
Best regards, Mia

3 bikes confirmed for August 8
Hi Mia,
Our crossing China is scheduled for August 8. Three bikes already confirmed and another one in doubt.
We, and our agency, are looking for a few more partners, but we 3-4 bikers will go on that date, anyway.
Good luck.
