Bro, you planning so far ahead ah? 2009 is like 1 more year to go ler. U plan to ride all the way to Chian ah?

 

Thailand, India and China, I think for Singaporean, no need to apply Visa, Malaysia need visa for China, rest I not sure.

In order to go to China in bikes, u must be with a biking organisation in China.. furthermore, they don't allow big bikes in.. I might still be wrong about this... But this is from my knowledge only...

 

Bro, may i know how much budget do u have in mind..? from there mayb we can see how far the $$ can take u..

 

 

 

 

hats off to u for the big heart to travel in bike, but be warned that it gonna be costly.

 

 

i think for parts,

1. change 1 set of rectifier, battery & bring a spare rectifier with u..

2. New tyre

3. Tube (just in case u need it when tubeless option is out.)

4. Tyre patch

5. A new set of chain before leaving SG.

A singaporean couple attempted the RTW motorcycle trip in 1995. They traveled for 2 years and visited 29 countries before calling it quit.

Hi Bro, actually i have no idea how much it'll cost. It's still in the planning stages.

About the entry to china i guess i'll have to look into it. Thanks for the "heads-up".
