  2. Hi Dave and welcome. Where in the Philippines are you? I've been to Cebu, Boracay and the other island with the chocolate hills, whose name escapes me right now. Oh and I've been to Manilla and the Makati entertainment centre :)
     
  3. Bohol...........Google is my friend :)
     
  4. i live in Northern Luzon, a place called urdaneta City...nothing special here but you pass through here on the way to Baquio or the North Philippines.
     
  5. Well, I'm going riding, Down to Angeles City for our Friday club night. maybe off line here for a day or two...
     
  6. ....and adventure bikes like the multistrada..

    Welcome. Finally someone who may be interested in air conditioning, but a little outside my normal work area.

  7. Hello Graham, my gf is Filipino although she's lived in UK for last 40 years. From Bulacan just outside Manilla. She goes home every 5-10 years for family reunion. I've haven't managed to get over there myself yet though.
    Keith.

  9. It may have escaped your notice, or it may not, but increasingly people are signing up from all over the world.

    Lets just hope they have a good knowledge of the weirdness of UK regional customs and people.

    I can't help feeling that Rob is doing a good job with the SEO.

    Hello all you new global people. (that should cover it.)

  10. Hello Kieth, nice to hear from you. My family is also from England but Mum and Dad moved to Australia back in 72...I moved to Asia in 2000 spending 3 years in Hong Kong then Korea and China and the Philippines. I have not been back to U.K since 1980 though...
     
  11. Well I grew up in the U.K. so hope I can keep up...lol
     

  12. Ok, I will try to keep up... Thanks

  14. Hi mate ,,,,, i have driven around Luzon quite a lot , m my girlfriend is from N luzon and i been there a few times ,,,,,and manila , love driving there tho wouldnt like to risk the ducati there , ( love the lawless nature ). How do you deal with the mosquitos !!!!!
     
  15. It's the chickens you have to look out for.
     

  16. How ya doing, so are yu coming back this way? no it's not a lot of fun riding the Ducati around here but now the TPLEX is open so I got a couple a hundred kilometers of express to ride on. yeah mozzies are a damn nuisance but we keep em out of the house with screen doors and windows...only the occasional one get's in, however, having a BBQ is a nightmare!
     

  17. yeah damn things are everywhere...plus you have to play chicken with the buses, trucks, cars, bikes... not a lot of careful drivers here to say the least.
     
  18. Hi Graham
    Please send women, we (and by that, I mean @Exige ) have run out.

    Welcome to Crazy Town! Although you must be familiar with the concept of crazy town, riding a bike where you do ... :upyeah:

  20. I once had to catch a plane at Cebu after a ferry and a drive from Negros. Time was short, very short.
    I made it with so little time, I couldn't even tip the driver, just run and negotiate my way on to the plane to Manila.
    The alarming high-speed drive through chicken infested villages, the motionless snarl of Cebu. It was stressful - a stress I am keen to avoid.
