One quite early morning at dawn, a rider was patiently waiting for his buddies to arrive.... The group was complete and we are ready to roll... Met some friend in Jone, Isabela... They went to church..... Thumbs up!
When I retire, or maybe before, I want to get one of my rides over there. I've talked to a couple of shippers here (Alaska) with no luck. Any suggestions on who to use from the States west coast? Or am I better off to buy there?
Dawg, you're clearly up before the crack of dawn ! ! ! ! ! ! Third pic could qualify as "dawn" . . . . . . . You're much like a riding buddy of mine; Me, I'm a slow mover in the AM ! ! ! HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all you inmates in the PI . . . . . . Keep posting the pix & RR - Love them, one-of-these years, I'll ride with my Asian brothers. Peace.
Hi there. I picked up a new 2013 Honda CRF250L about a week ago in the Philippines. I have been off the bikes for years and have been travelling/camping using 4WDs in Australia the last 20 years, but as I now spend most of my time off (i work away on oil rigs) in the Philippines I thought it's time for something new so I now intend to explore the beautiful Philippines on two wheels. Lot of the riding/travelling will be 2-up with my Philippino girl on the back. Starting off with just local travelling here in Cavite until my plate arrives. I have read through this thread and got a lot of inspiration to see more of this beautiful country. See you on the roads!
You nailed it . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . First two - North Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley side, about 5 blocks south of the 90. Been jonesing for a trip to the Philippines, for now just living it vicariously thru this thread . . . . . . Need to get thru a job change dealio first . . . . .
My unfinished ride report of Northern Luzon on XR200's. www.mendoadv.blogspot.com Recently returned from Tacloban just after the typhoon. Unbelievable destruction of a once beautiful area. Amongst all the tragedy though the spirit and perseverance of the filipino people was astounding. Wish I could of stayed longer to help.

This is local legend Burt Munroe at Bonnerville Speed Week in the 1960s with his 1927 Indian Scout which done over 200 MPH at times . To remember Burt we have a week of racing in November at Invercargill. We have Hillclimb, Speedway long and Short track , Beach, Track, and Street races . Her is Pics of the Wyndham Street Races No 30 is my friend Sid who raced his OW Yamaha 750 and his Nikkabaker Honda 1100 . He had a great weekend on both bike with 12 wins from 12 races Its neat seeing all the old bikes out racing . The Burt Munroe Trophy was awarded to an Australian rider who only had 1 arm and leg . He didn't let his handicap stop him enjoying his bike racing . Cheers Toddy
Toddy; I remember Burt coming to the salt flats, the stories of casting his own pistons and things. It is always fun to see the old bikes. Have fun when you get back to the PI.
