what bike you got??

i miss my CBR 400 that i had in Thailand- not many sports bikes around there-especially up country- used to ride with the Lobo's chapter now and then but they all had choppers so i used to stand out like a sore thumb.
lot of the guys now relocated to Laos so when i go back dont see much of them nowadays

[James Hubbard]

The bike was a 110 if i remember correctly! A really rubbish cheap little number, but in the most awesome green!

RUSI bikes ... parts from China, Assembled in Manila - what could possibly go wrong!?

I have had so many problems with it, but dang, I love that darn bike! lol

Hi Venus, my rep-giving function isn't working right now, or I would have done so for that really good and thoughtful post.

I think you should turn it into a "blog" by hitting "blog this". It's very good

Aw! sorry for upsetting you gparry..

It's very hard to leave the Philippines if your family is all there.

It will be a lot easier to live in England if all my love ones are all here if you know what I mean
However, I love Philippines and England so probably I will feel the same if I were to stay in the Philippines lol!
