Hi,

 

Just out of curiousity, why the switch from AT to Diversion? Anyway, finding a used Diversion is very difficult. Will keep a lookout for you.

yo bro

It's seems that you are d only one keen. ...how bout others....!?Sorry to reply you late mr palary....i've just reached home from work.Actualy i'm looking for a buddy to ride up to Langkawi.Since i've bought the Divvy plus the shaft drive,I'm eager to travel to

Malaysia .provided mentaly/physicaly/financialy...prepare!

my wife don't mind because she know it is my hobby since young.I've just came back from Sepang to watch Motogp and I found that this bike is a true touring bike.There were a number of silver Divvys at SEPANG. .Anyway I'm looking forward regarding the trip to Langkawi.I was thinking of riding solo but two numbers will be better at least.

>>OMD

Not totally switching over to Diversion, still keeping my AT since I spent quite alot on it and oso it's a proven bike for long distance travel.

 

Ridden the Diversion before, about 1/2 yr, however bike does belongs to me, owner taken back. Just long for the "shaft driven" feeling....

 

Thank you for the look out, know that it's damn hard to get a 2nd hand Diversion. Appreciate that!!

 

>>Haroze

I think you will feel diff when travelling alone, I did that before, quite nice after all. Shld be not a big problem on a Diversion, just need some pre-check and get a LONELY PLANET, it helps.

Yo Haroze, let's wack to Angkor Wat next year instead..

Sorry to intrrupt into your trip to Cambodia, terrain was bad when I last went there Jan 2003 and basically it's more for those dual purpose bikes.

 

Usually around the date given by U is the best time to go, however after the flooding in the monsoon season, the one and only route into Siem Reap is usually in very bad condition. So its advisable to go in with a dual purpose bike. Road condition is bad however pple there are very friendly, US dollars are the preferred currencies, Angkor is a true beauty!!

 

Maybe U like to check my e-album for reference

Hey thanks for the info! I'm more afraid of the bridges than the roads, u think the bridges are crossable or not? Worst come to worst, I may have to bypass Siem Reap and stay at Phnom Pehn. Or to rent a Whatever to carry the Bike. I was there in April 2002 but spent only 5 hrs in Angkor Wat...not enough!

Can't possibly get a Dual purpose bike now.

Hey so u actually went up in your AT?? Superb man!!

 

So there is one advantage of a Dual purpose like the AT, rite? U can go terrain when the Tourers can't go. So no need to find a Divvy mah.

 

But One thing is Bike like AT and Varadero super high ley, definitely not for pple like me...Sure drop like siao..

If you need to plan your trip up to Cambodia, just email me to arrange to meet up, will try my best to brief you on that.

 

1st 3 days are solid 12 hrs ride to the border bet Thailand (Aranya-prathet) and Cambodia (Poipet). Border closed early and try to enter Poipet early in the morning. Once you cleared the custom and immigration, the 1st stretch of road(abt 1km), lots of hard riding. Due to the road work, lots of big rocks were left on the road b4 the tar is pour in. Afterwhich you would see a good stretch of road, don't be fool, look properly as there are lots of big pot-holes. Even a 10-wheel truck also kena toppled down by it. Then reaching Sisphon, Paris Dakar kind of riding, road filled with only brown sand. Once a car by-passed, feels like riding in a sand storm, super dusty!!

 

No problem with the bridge crossings, bridges are repaired, but not in a very good condition. My master said that when he was there 2 yrs back, lagi worse.

 

As there's only one route in from Thailand to Siem Reap, so I think that you got to think twice b4 riding in with the Divvy. Road only suitable for Enduro (Dual purpose) bikes, however found that AT is abit too heavy. Honda Domi, Suzu Dr650 or BMW F650 are much more better.

 

The last trip only spent 3 days out of 14 days trip, my pal had brought insufficient funds (US$) and got to U-turn to Thailand, sigh.... Initial plan to ride to PNH.

 

Diversion is good for trips to Thailand where road condition are good. My wife will sure complain if she's on my AT. That's one of my reason to get a Divvy. Thought of getting FJR, but think back, annually got to fork out $2k for insurance+road tax, cancelled. Divvy will do.

The road condition really scary...http://www.ultimatejourney.com/CambodiaRoads.html
