Hope she has better luck traveling Thai roads than the last 2 groups of bike riders did. They ended up dead. Safe travels!

If we all took that attitude, whats the point in getting out of bed in the morning?

Just checked the link outs,and looking at her blog I somehow have my doubts if she's really up to this challenge, she looks a bit too much girlie to me. But I'll give here the benefit of doubt.
Go VON!!!

(sounds like von. NOT yvonne, evon, vanne, vonee, voun, vanu)
My last name is Phan. (NOT pronounced as ffffan).

I'm born and bred in Singapore.

(NOT Vietnam, not Japan, not Thailand, not anywhere else)

I ride a motorbike, a Ducati Hypermotard. I love dirt biking too.

I am spontaneous, am told I'm funny and straightforward.

I'm feminine and I'm rugged.

I would say she is.

What class of licenses/certificates to I possess?

Class 3 Manual Driving License (CDC @ Ubi)

Class 2 Motorcycle above 600cc License (CDC @ Ubi)

Advanced Open Water Diver License (Sunny Cove 5 Star PADI Dive Centre)

Tandem Skydive at 12,000sqft (New Zealand, Christchurch @ NZ Skydive)

Surfing (Indonesia, Bali @ SurferGirl)

4th Place @ MSSC Enduro Race 2010

2nd Place @ MSSC Enduro Race 2012 Round 3

And probably more physically fit then most members.

Well let's see, maybe there's more then meets the eye.

A woman that did quite some impressive bike rides is Lois Pryce, she wrote a few good books, which I recommend, a good read.

She hasn't got a hope in hell! !!

Time is a great teller! !!

Yeah, she does look a bit girly. Will probably take her three years to do it as it looks like she spends about 3 or 4 hours a day just putting on her make-up. I wonder if she is the type that does motorcycle selfies?

Cool. I would love to do a route like that someday if I had some free time and money. Would obviously need a bike that's a bit more rugged than my CBR

I do wonder about visas; I see that her route takes her through China and Tibet. Will the Chinese government really let her do that?

If she hasn't been outside of Singapore then she will not do it.

So many things can and do happen in such a distance covered.

She's got a 10 % chance of doing it.

Well she does these kinda pics

I think soihok discovered the Singaporian version of Anniie ( A Thai bike chick)

Gentleman place your bets: will she make it or not??

No way from me.

Hope she doesn't bite off her tongue when hitting one of the potholes on her way

You can't take this girl serious,

Ever wondered what's in HER bag when she goes touring?

Apart from my make up, dresses, nice lingerie (dont know for who to see), killer heels (dont know wear to where), and cute pyjamas (dont know for who to see again), toiletries etc..

She's cute though........

So ride sexy or ride Ducati? I would ride them both.

On the subject - no way she would make it, or even start it unless there's a support vehicle following close behind, and looking at this Hi-So she wouldn't go on this trip otherwise.

^

Had the same thought. She needs something like this following her, so she can take a shower twice a day and has aircon and heating for sleeping. And of course facebook connection per sattelite all day. Or better two of these vehicles, one for the make-up team

Agree with everyone so far.

Meanwhile our lass is getting excited about the big tour in a couple of months up north.

Oh Dear, has the real Bike upset your male Scooter Riding Boys ego.

It's probably a publicity stunt.

I'll be cheering for her...

but I'm not going to put any money on it

Looking at her blog and seeing more posts about hair and eyebrows than about motorbikes doesn't inspire confidence.

But, you never know! Good luck to her.

Most probably, the fact that she even gets on a bike means that she would have ridden more than some posters on here, haha

It's probably a publicity stunt.

My thoughts too.

Very cunning

She looks rich, a house like that in Singapore will put you back 4 to 6 mill Sing$ and a Porsche car ain't cheap too.

Is she married?

Heaps of people rides around the world on bikes and she is doing a 8000 km trip and make a big fuss out of it but I wish her safe travels anyway.

Well while she's in Bangkok she's more than welcome to spend the night at my place. there are certain ground rules she must follow though:

1. Must sleep in my bed.

2. No clothing whatsoever allowed.

I am betting on her setting off and getting so far, doubt she will complete the trip but I really wish I can be proved wrong.

So I say - GO FOR IT GIRLY !!!

Lets face it, this story wouldn't make any news or comments on here if it was me planning on doing it (fat 50 year old North England bloke), I don't look half as fit as she does - even if did wear the one piece leopard skin body stocking

Yeah, if she passes through Chiang Mai she can definitely stay at my house...

I have no idea if she will succeed, though I suspect she has the will-power to complete a one-way version.

That bike is flying home.

The pictures were a very pleasant surprise. Love the cat-suit, and the one-arm push-ups are impressive.

Go girl!

Oh Dear, has the real Bike upset your male Scooter Riding Boys ego.

"she will be riding a Suzuki DR200 to Everest."

Staying on one arm for the photo shot, doesn't prove she can do one arm push up. Looking at her skinny arms with no meat I bet she would have a hard time doing normal push up (2 arms).
