  • TRAVELLING FROM MINDANAO TO LUZON BY LAND TRIP IS NOT EASY.
    But it can be done.
    1650KMs in 3 long days - this was a great first experience with my new Suzuki V-Strom 250!
    From Davao City, I headed north to Lipata port in Surigao, and got lucky by getting a boat that hadn't quite been cleared to leave!
    Then I take a new road from San Ricardo port on Panaon Island around its eastern side, with some sheer drops into the ocean if you overrun! There's also a 450m viaduct at San Ramon!
    From there it's a journey across the mountains and plains to Tacloban, where I slept beside the famous San Juanico Bridge!
    The next day, I took brunch in Calbayog - British style! Before having slightly less luck with ferries at Allen and a jaunt through the volcanic landscapes of Bicol! Dinner was a much more Filipino sinigang!
    The final day was the long winding road, from Naga to Gapan in Nueva Ecija. I finally rode the Bitukang Manok in Atimonan, before eating Pancit Lucban in Tayabas (not Lucban! Shock! Horror!) and riding through Metro Manila to the North!
    An adventure awaits.

    Good job kumander. If this was a typical Pinoy motovlog, this will be a multiple part video with a lot dramas and self righteousness and they will try to milk this as long as possible. But you actually made it with only 1 video, doing all of your objectives and having fun. Great job!

    You know you're saying something about the roads in the PH when your first off roading test 1:34 for the new motor bike is on the road. Ha ha! So glad the new motor bike is working out so well for this trip. Aside from being generally tired, it seems to be good for avoiding the other aches and pains you would have been feeling with the older one.
    The lights on the San Juanico Bridge are such a sight to behold, and so much incredible scenery along the way. The motor vlogging gods seemed to be with you for catching timely boats on this leg of your journey! Let's hope that continues.🙏👍🤙

      Interesting that you are RVing. Ive thought of this idea but with van conversion, hammocks, tent etc and of course great resorts here and there. My thoughts about places to park are just ask and get permission and offer to pay landowner . I find many filapino to be kind courteous and generous.

    I remember months ago I mentioned to you that since you travel a lot on a motorcycle with so many rough and unfinished roads and many up and down hills in the Philippines. Why not get a motorbike that's good on and off the road and rough terrains. I'm glad you did get one. Just be extra careful driving. When feeling tired and sleepy pull off the road and rest. By the way, nice moustache. It suits you.

I've used the motorstar 200ii sportsbike. More videos and maybe trying motocamping, hope we're able to have a same trip sometime in the future.
