Davao is a great place for touring on a bike and they don't have ridiculous restrictions like Manila. The Mayor of Davao is a biker and it shows. The standard of driving is much better than Manila. There are still some unsurfaced roads here and there but the roads that are surfaced are excellent with no potholes. There are miles of beautiful country roads and even in the city the traffic density is bearable. Most of these snaps where taken in the farming town of Toril, about 30mins ride from Davao City center.Riding a motorcycle Philippine style can be an experience. Check out the pics.
There seems to be an upswing on motorcycle and bike riding here in the Philippines. It's probably because of the traffic and the rising oil prices.
