Re: I told my missus i was looking for gloves :-)
I'd just put it in the garage and say nothing. In a months time she'll say "I thought your bike was black" or whatever. Just say you've put stickers on it

Since this is my back garden I probably ought to join you but you always pick the dates of the rallies . So I can't. Could give you some routes though, haven't checked them all, but you can let me know what they're like.

Re: Advice needed for China
Unless things have changed recently I believe you must have a guide, and I think you have to register the bike in china too. When I last looked at it, it looked like more trouble than it was worth.
Don't want to put you off trying though.
