    Hi,
    I just moved here after living in Bangkok for 5 years. The forum has been a lot of help with places to eat and getting to know the Dumaguete area. I'm wondering if there is anyone out there that is interested in meeting and having coffee. I'd also like to meet someone who enjoys road trips, of all lengths, on motorbikes. Did a trip that ended up in Siargao and really enjoyed it but would be nice to have company. Thanks for taking the time to read my post, looking forward to hearing from you. Scott

    That sounds good. Where are you headed on this trip and what do you ride?

    Going to Aurora and then a bit inland for Christmas.

    Modified crf250L

    Powerful enough for Philippines traffic and light enough for mountain trailing.

    Yourself?

    I haven't bought a bike yet. Had a CRF250 in Thailand, considering another one because the suspension would be perfect for the roads here but the GF hates the seat. Haven't made up my mind yet as I'm up in the air as to how long I'll stay. My plan is for at least a year at this point.
    Keep in touch and let's meet for coffee when you get back. Scott

    Ok great.

    For your information I am making a custom seat cover now that is removable, for long trips.
    I also modified the rear as it's too soft.

    Added handlebar raiser's.

    Bash plate for engine

    Changed front sprocket to 13 T

    Have a 42T for rear ready for trail riding

    And more....

    Will come back to u when back

    Thank you in advance.
