Philippine Trikes

Village in Philippines 2010 As most of you know I am on assignment overseas. I spent many months ending 2010 in the Philippines. I was there for business and did not get a chance to ride. I found a cool biker bar called Handle Bar in Manila. Lucky for me the night I went they were celebrating Jack Daniels birthday-really! There were live bands, prizes and good food. The only regret was ordering a rare steak. Oh, it was a tasty steak but I had a lapse in judgment and failed to consider there are no FDA standards in the kitchens there.  I was in the hotel bathroom for two days to recover from that tasty rare steak :(  That reminds me--the best steak on a motorcycle trip so far was at Sooner Legends in Norman, Oklahoma!  Picture of a Philippine trike which is used like a taxi. I saw very few Harleys and sports motorcycles. There were hundreds of mopeds, scooters and trikes. The trikes were pretty popular. They were just as common as a taxi. Actually the trikes were for hire
