Thanks for this write up, I hope to do something similar this summer (mind you I recall saying that a couple of summers ago) and on a similar looking Bike, the rough camping is very much me as well. I will check out some of the places you mention, I guess more photo's would make it better, but I know what it's like when your riding and enjoying it and making good progress the last thing you want to do is keep taking photos.
I'll have to check out some more of your blogs.

Cape Town To Shanghai

Rupert & Fanny's Big Bike Trip starts June. With names like ours what could go wrong? We start from my home from Arniston near Cape Agulhas, Western Cape South Africa and ride via Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire, UK (as you do) to our other home in Shanghai. If you think carnes and visas are a pain, wait til you travel with a Chinese woman who needs a visa for just about every place on the planet. Luckily she is used to completely ridiculous bureaucracy and how to get around it!! We are riding KTM 990 Adventures... I don't care what the LWD guys think.. they ride on anything and we had to buy ours. As Fanny is a former Chinese volleyball star her feet touch the ground and also as she is more famous and better looking than Ewan McGregor in these parts we have a local following on Chinese motorcycle forums that numbers in the six figures. Big Bikes are banned in China and so when we ride across the border we'll be winging it and hoping one of the border guards is a follower. We start when the first whale is sighted outside my house, which would be unusual in downtown Shanghai, but not on the most southern tip of Africa. Please follow us on www.bigbiketrip.net and we'll be following you on ABR
