The route ,
So far .Thrown together with a naff Adventure travel map made by National Geographic ( made for those with no sense of adventure) a Marco Polo Cambodia / Thai / Vietnam , Showing only one red road . Unfortunately i cant find a GTR map like my excellent Laos version to help plan out the roads. As a fan of paper maps i will eventually have to succumb to the modern world of Google and OS .
Overview ,
10 of us went to ride Laos last year . Was fun . ( Did report last year though my login earlier was not recognised so have had to make myself a new user ) 1 of us did not come home . He eventually ended up in Cambodia . 9 of us are now going out to visit him ...
Bikes ,
We have a varying degree of budget sub 300$ 125cc / 110cc standard bikes & Step through rev and go shopping bikes . All dreadful . We have the option of a sidecar .
Degree of Adventure ,
Whist in Laos we tackled all colour of routes . Purple unconfirmed status in places , Long Chien and got turned back , Nam Cadding motorcycle dry season , low level stream crossings all on "Honda" insert copy make Wins & Dreams . We like a challenge .
??????????? ,
The journey is the adventure and slow bikes bikes fill the days BUT If you have any pointers , routes that must be taken , do's and do nots then we are all ears thank you in advance .
In return ,
I will take pictures , upload and write upon my return .
Thank you all .
Cheers to a virtual Angkor beer
