2fishin2 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hope she has better luck traveling Thai roads than the last 2 groups of bike riders did. They ended up dead. Safe travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchbike Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchbike Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Drunk Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 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?

andrewrooney Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 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?

NormanW Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchbike Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 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........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shurup Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 So ride sexy or ride Ducati? I would ride them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shurup Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 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.

wantan Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 ^ 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanW Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Agree with everyone so far. Meanwhile our lass is getting excited about the big tour in a couple of months up north. https://youtu.be/-E8StdqS6OM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewrooney Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gweiloman Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Most probably, the fact that she even gets on a bike means that she would have ridden more than some posters on here, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 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.

macknife Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexilis Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yeah, if she passes through Chiang Mai she can definitely stay at my house... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbin Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shurup Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
