Guys - I believe the info for China posted here is wrong. While I haven't done this myself - so cannot speak from personal experience - I know several groups that have done this in recent years.
Granted it is complicated and you have to be a master at paperwork - but it is possible. I believe you need to apply for Chinese number plates and have a guide with you while in the country (Walter and his mate James are about the only people to have bypassed this - but that was quite a while ago !).
This is why people tend to group together to justify the cost of the guide...
There is a company called Newland Travel who can help you. See link below...

I also know James and Emily Littlewood who you two met en route managed to enter as well on their bikes too. Have a look at their country info page too:

Net net - it is possible - so dismiss the earlier info that you can't do it - but sharpen your pencils for plenty of form filling...
