I would be nervous walking along that bridge and you ride a 600 pound bike, you have nerves of steell
Thanks for the nomination Manny! Let 's cross it together next time you're here. So that you can say.... that's me crossing the bridge.... Thanks for your comment vanveen! It would be easier and faster paced crossing the bridge if I used my tiny YBR 125G. For those haven't seen the video of the Touratech Travel Event 2012 in the Phils last March 2012....check it out!

Good Morning from Manila, Philippines ADV Inmates..... ....Now which Ducati bike will I use this today???
Just got back from the PI, had great trip and already planning the next trip. Unfortunately I didn't ride a motorcycle except in a tricycle. Where is the best place to buy a used motorcyle on Luzon (especially in northern Luzon)? My dad is building is more townhomes in Dagupan City and now have a place to store a motorcyle now. Btw I took a lot pictures and let me know if want me to post of them.
Thank you for posting scrappyscooter! Please do upload the pictures you've taken to show other inmate your experience here in the Philippines. Dagupan City is a very hot and humid place because it is near the sea. Cheers!!!
Hello inmates! Been a long time I've been absent.... Below are some pix of taken during the annual BOSS (BMW Owners of Saferiders Society) Ironman Challenge VIII last January 5, 2013. The Ironman Challenge is to travel 1,200kms within a prescribe time of 24hours. Shots taken in Cauayan, Isabela Checkpoint
Here's some more of the many many pictures I have..... Before entering the Starting ramp.... Sending off at the starting ramp..... Call Me Maybe??? Before entring the Cauayan, Isabela Checkpoint..... A smile to the marshals before leaving the Checkpoint..... Finally crossing the finishline after 15 hours of travelling 1200kms.... still looking fresh..... Reporting back to home base .... ready for the next tour!!! Awards night at BMW Autohaus...
Nice Pics... Very inspiring for a newbie in Adventure Riding like me. I'm racking up the mileage on my GS and preparing myself for the 2014 BOSS Ironman Challenge Meantime, I guess the Touratech Run this coming weekend serves as my dry run.
welcome, hedkandi77... see this weekend on the 2nd bmw-touratech travel event. herc and i join the 1st travel event in 2012 and what an experience of bonding from dual sport riders.... cheers.
Hi Fellow ADVriders, I'm Tim and will be retiring in the Philippines later this year from the US, we have a place in Manila and Batangas and we are commuting across every couple of months at the moment. I have an XR200 in Batangas and am looking for a bike shop where I can buy parts/accessories for it, like lights, Bar risers......i'm not sure if the parts from the Honda CRF here in the US will fit? Any suggestions? When I move I will hope to bring my BMW G650GS with me, looking forward to moving thanks for any advice Tim
I am glad you found your way to the Phil Adventure Rides thread!!! XR200 parts are available. i can arrange for them to be shipped to you. After putting those bar risers you need a longer clutch cable too. Welcome to another edition of....... THUNDERDOME!!!!!
Thanks Herc and great job on the forum here. Will drop you a note on the risers etc. Is there a store I can get them from to save you the trouble, if not thanks for the help. Tim
Hey Frank! I missed you in this one. It was a dusty job...... but you know..... someone has to do it! And I would go out of my way to help a beautifull girl such as Kara David in her Documentary of the Touratech Travel Event 2013 ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kara_David
Hey Tim. Two brands are availble with my supplier Renthal (fat or standard bar size) and Pro-Taper. You can deposite the cash and i will ship it out to you. Here's a pix of the XR i have at home. Come with Polisport Handurads and front fender & ready to rock n roll...... With only 9,456kms on the clock very fresh and it's also for sale....hehehehe
My wife is from Cebu. Next trip back, I'm doing the tour! I wish I'd known about this in September....
