[Trip report]Wave 125 ride to Laos.

[kenny6789]

wa..really respect u, have a urge to ride my cubs up too!

[tom cool]

*salute* travel on small bike to LAOS.....

[gunshead]

thumbs up . i was talking to one malaysain ST1100 owner. He said huge respect and military salute to cub riders . But they are outting themselves in danger and also punishing themselves riding these weird long hours

[gixxer 73]

Thx for the advice bro,just came back from Cambodia,Koh Hong,Sihanoukville,Phnom Pehn and Siem reap with my beloved wave.Saw a thai riding a wave 100 from Bkk to Sadao and he tell me slow is beautiful,hehe.Going to Vietnam via Dien Bien Phu from Laos with bikes under 110cc might be free and his thai friend had done b4.Maybe going next year with him.How long we live and how much we eat is predestined,so really have no time to think about danger but again thx for the advice.

[pipipapipu]

How you go from Koh Kong to Sihanoukville?

 

Is there a ferry service? or you rode there?

 

Impressive!

[gixxer 73]

Yeah i rode from Koh Kong to Sihanoukville,took about 5 hrs to cover the first 150km of scenic riding and the remaining 90km to Sihanoukville,total distance 240km.The ferry ride is meant for passengers only and the ride took around 3 hrs plus.

Day 11,Sun 1/5/11

Move off from Hatyai at 8pm to avoid the jam at the Dannok Sadao custom.Finally reach home the next day 11pm.

VERY CREATIVE WAY TO WASH ENGINE AND UNDERBAY OF MOTORCYCLE. even in JB / spore they don't have this creativity. I simply love 3rd world countries for cheap and effective innovation and creations.
