17/10/12
to 23/10/12
I park up the bike at Micheal's having forgotten how soft his front yard is. So the stand sank into the ground and the bike ended up safely resting on the wall. I got some cardbord to put under the stand until i drank my beer and got something better. Unfortunately i didn't have the beer before it had rained for a while, making the cardboard soft. So down went the bike again this time braking the front screen off the bike but nothing else. She wasn't in the best of states at the end anyway.
24/10/12 and on
In Goa relaxing....

I suppose a summary is in order.

Suzuki GN125 called Gracie
Little Gracie was a lovely little bike.

$500US in Ho Chi Minh City Sold: $200US in Hanoi
Insurance:
$3US for a 12month Vietnam insurance. I only had to present documents
at borders and to 1 police man and the insurance was not questioned.
Yes the insurance would not work if there was an accident but it is
valid enough to show the police.

Cambodia, Thailand, Laos

Insurance:
Rentals so covered
Kilometers:
1,759km, Total 7,959km
