Hi fellow remote riders...
Planning for a trip in mid-May from Vientiane to LP and back. Really find the site wonderful and knowledge-base excellent--thanks.
First wondering about flat tires. I plan to generally stick to HWY 13 and the primary roads, but what is my risk of flat. I will be on a Honda 250 dirt bike. Wondering what the common steps are to addressing it. Should i just plan to fix it roadside--which stinks. Seems like many people find local support for repair, so I'm kinda interested in how you've handled flats in the past---quick bandaid and ride to nearest town or full-on field repair?
Thanks all for your thoughts and time in advance...
