    This a ride heading south down the national hiway then heading west across the island in the Talamban area over to Balamban and then south down the national hiway to Toledo ... We cross back across the island heading east and hit the east coast side just south of Cebu City ...

    Eva gets to ride because of temp layoff due to recent japan disaster ... Mounted a 80% rear street tire to the bike for the trip ...

    Everyday I see something that amazes me ... this country is powered by the 125 4T and cleverness... I can tell who is working the clutch and shifter but who is on the throttle? :)

    I took the pic for the sign in the background and this charcoal vender(?) just happened along at the same time.
