My friend Virgil and I just returned from 11 days touring Northeastern Laos on two of Jim’s Honda 250 CRF motorcycles. We opted to take a self guided tour and, with Jim’s knowledge and guidance, had the time of our lives. We provided Jim with a rough plan and he modified it some to keep us from driving at night, but loaded the GPS to where we ended each day at a comfortable guesthouse each night. Everything was very affordable, clean, and I can’t say enough about all of the great food we experienced during the trip. The motorcycles are exactly what you need to travel these roads. Not too much, but lots of power when you need it.
Jim outfitted us with not only the motorcycles, but also leather jackets, pants, gloves, the GPS, a tool kit we never needed, and best of all his patience and advise before we hit the road. I have never been in a safer environment and felt welcome at every stop. We stopped at noodle shops for lunch every day during the trip and were always welcome, even though there was a language barrier. We bought fruit at roadside stands and carried some with us on the trip for snacks that we shared with families when we stopped along the route at small villages.
I want to repeat that I highly recommend anyone who has the desire to travel and experience real Laos outside the major cities, you can’t find a better source of motorcycles and information than what Jim Barbush provides at Remote Asia Travel.
I am 70 years young and can highly recommend this to all ages.
