Cool the philippines

That is my daughter in the Philippines on the back of the bike (she is three). No helmets over there in the provences, only in the larger cities. Her mom (my wife) grew up this way. They will be over there til the middle of the month. It is not a Harley but as you can see.....bikes are in the blood

Great pics.
My wife of 18 years is from the Philippines.
She goes back every few years but I have not been back since they closed Subic.

My wife of 22 years is also from the PI. Great times, great beer, great women.

And the old man rode a scoot in the province until he went to the club house in the sky.

Fellow squid here. I remember the jeepney ride to Subic from Olongapo. It always made me laugh when all the girls said they were from Manila and had just got there.

Recall many a happy evening spent at the Firehouse bar when it was still in Ermita and the girls would "go out" with you for a few hundred P. Filipinos in general are some of the nicest people you ever want to meet.
