      Also to mention.

      BMW Motocycling & Harley Riders also have rides on weekends for Breakfast.

      I believe the locations are often a surprise for the Riders and its more for everyone to learn how to get lost and have fun finding their way around. Laughing

      Would you have made a move to learn riding, if you had been too shy.

      Join the SBF at least, they have wannabe Riders there.

      For newbies, get those mesh riding jackets with armour.

      sg and malaysia weather, really not suitable for those normal thick material armour jacket.

      One team at Northern Thailand made do with mesh jacket over thick clothing for the cold part of their trip.

      How much do those mesh riding jackets with armour cost?

      Do you guys actually wear them on a daily basis even in the day?

      Thinking of buying one but I'm not sure if it's gonna be very warm... And whether it's waterproof?

      Err......cost around $100-$200 at Ah Boy's shop.

       

      Cost even cheaper in USA.

       

      Mesh can be worn on a daily basis.

       

      And ermmmm....waterproof thru mesh???????  You might maybe consider Scotchguard, but I doubt it can cover the holes.

      is the minimum a 250cc or 400 cc? and the fuel tank must be minimum 20L?

      My Honda XR125 has very good fuel consumption (34km/L) but I do not know if it fits the minimum requirement to go touring?

      Fwah! liddat I gotta put my bike to the test. wink.png

      But use Phantom not much worries, as they are made in Thailand. Anything can fix there when reach Thailand, and then travel back.

      Don't forget to prepare your bum for long rides, before you go.

      yeah, even at 140-160km/hr average speed to thailand, it'll take up to 9hrs to reach Hat Yai.
