on a dirt ride once, myself and bignsmall wre at the side of the trail when we heard an almighty roar of 3-4 what we presumed were big modern thumpers we were thinking ktm's or wr's.
when the noise finally turned into visual contact we saw not european enduro masters out training for erzberg but sombat, somchai and their cousin on " supercup" dreams and waves complete with 15year old motocross boots, shorts, t-shirt, gardening gloves and no helmets. with i think 2 kneeguards and one elbow guard shared between 3 riders. one guy was riding with his whisky still in the front basket of his honda dream!
yet despite their obvious lack of wealth and sanity they were having the time of their lives and helped us fix a stricken green machine that someone had unceremoniously dumped into a river. these guys are as much a biker as anyone else i know. great to see!!

You're 100% correct. It is amazing what some of the riders here are able to do with so much less than we have. I have laughed many times when we get to some out of the way place that we think is a real accomplishment, with all our gear and fancy bikes, and the locals come tottering by on their daily run to the market looking at us like we are from Mars.

I was once driving down from Luang Prabang and encountered a group of bikers unlike none others I had met before. They were a Vietnamese family consisting of mom, dad, uncles, aunts, sons, daughters and a 76-year-old grandmother. Now get this! - the whole clan had ridden from Ho Chi Minh City to Luang Prabang on tiny 125cc motorbikes. With the return trip to Ho Chi Minh City you're talking nearly 3,400km in total. What astonished me the most was the grandmother clinging on to the back of her son - they even had matching jackets especially made for the trip.

Seeing them got me thinking that I totally disagree with some bikers saying you need this and that to go on a big trip - 1000cc bikes, aluminum luggage, GPS, latest riding gears and accessories, etc

This family from Vietnam proves my point that anyone can plan and go on a long bike journey. All you need is the will to do it. They had made an impression on me far more than any other group of riders I had encountered on the road.

Sukie, you're right, all that's needed is a bike be it 125 cc or 1000 up AND the right attitude, "I'm gonna do this trip". Of course some weather protection is needed but it doesn't need to be Dainese....I like both your above pictures !!!!!!!! Cheers, Franz

Yep, sometimes less is more. In Thailand 250cc is a good compromise, not too big, not too small. XT250; Ninja 250; D-Tracker; VTR 250; 250 Hornet Four a.s.o.
