The 4 island ride (Cebu to Leyte to Samar to Luzon )

250txc · 11-25-2011, 06:56 PM

This 4 island ride was quite a ways for my 08 TXC250 Husqvarna ....About 1200 miles total, much on the pavement, so I saved my bike by staying at about the 6G RPM mark when on the hard top ...

We were lucky enough to have a ro-ro boat from Cebu to Leyte just up the road from Danao City where we live... It was a very small port area ...

Our bikes loaded on the ro-ro for the trip to Leyte ...

250txc · 11-25-2011, 07:10 PM

That's Cebu in the distance ...

250txc · 11-25-2011, 07:13 PM

First look at Leyte shore close-up ....

250txc · 11-25-2011, 07:18 PM

We head for Ormoc City ....

A beach view from Ormoc area ..

We stayed over at Angela Pension House ... Really a good place to stay ...quiet, safe, roomy, and affordable ..

250txc · 11-25-2011, 07:30 PM

We had a flat and had to stop by a shop to get a tube ... The local cops had issues also ... One was pulling the other due to a broke throttle cable ....

This bridge is the cross over point to the Samar Island ....

250txc · 11-25-2011, 07:52 PM

We get a welcome sign to Samar as expected ...

250txc · 11-25-2011, 07:59 PM

Downpour! So we took cover ... This was one of the few times we got wet over the entire ride ...

250txc · 11-25-2011, 08:05 PM

One of many inlets to the ocean ... later, we find some that do not have bridges for crossings ...

250txc · 11-25-2011, 08:13 PM

Stumbled across a small beach party ...

250txc · 11-25-2011, 08:22 PM

The next town up the coast apparently made its living off sardines as they were drying everywhere ...

250txc · 11-25-2011, 08:25 PM

Alot of Samar roads were like this ..
