Motorbiking up and down Siquijor's mountains

The mountains rise over 1400 feet over a few miles of travel. At times it is First Gear Only. The roads vary from smooth concrete to rough and rutted.

Helmets?


On the return trip during the early evening, Deric actually fell asleep and Razel had to hold him firmly.

These motorbikes rent for 60 peso per hour (about $1.50) plus gasoline. They are clutchless (semiautomatic 4-speed) and fairly easy to drive. But one needs to be cautious because the consequences of an accident might be very high.
