Someone asked me about motorcycles in the Philippines. That is not my area of expertize but I have met a friend who is interested in that and will permit me to give you his E-mail.

Please let me know who you are and send me an E-mail at:

Ah yes, motorcycles in the Philippines. Yup, they've got them there as well as most countries on earth. It's a primitive form of transportation that some lost souls are addicted to. It's an internal combustion engine that has not 4 or 3 but TWO wheels propelling its rider with or without its only form of safety...the dreaded helmet aka "casco" in Spanish.

To rent one of these death machines from infierno one only has to look in the telephone book or ask the local taxi driver from hell where one can be located. Don't expect American Iron...

BTW: Bon Voyage and we expect a "G" rated trip report upon your return.

One of our posters is a motorcycle afficionado and he asked me about bile in the Phils. I told him I hadn't reaaly paid attention.

I have a friend in Miagao who owns sever bikes and would be willing to answer these questions which I couldn't answer.

Only I forget who asked me about motorcycles.
