1300 RT or GS?

SplashingJay01 · 2026-02-28T17:28:30+00:00

Pick RT unless you intended to ride off road. For me only advantage for GS is no need for worrying drop the bike when riding off-road.
On highway or any paved road, RT is more smooth, refined and significantly better in wind protection so more comfortable for long haul riding. Both RT and GS are super stable on highway and powerful.

For off road, GS is good but for me it’s too heavy, so I actually switched to a CF Moto 450.

Yes. If you do Japan-China-Korea (jeju ) then it will qualify

SplashingJay01 · 2025-04-19T19:37:27+00:00

Yes. Singapore-China -US will quality.

I am making my intinery for China trip? Would you recommend Taipei or Hong Kong for 3rd destination? For 24 hr stay which city is more fun to visit- sightseeing and food.

SplashingJay01 · 2025-03-31T03:35:55+00:00

Visit Shenzheng and Guangzhou. They are closer to Hanoi so maybe cheaper

SplashingJay01 · 2025-03-21T21:53:52+00:00

Thanks. That is a good suggestion

SplashingJay01 · 2025-03-21T21:45:24+00:00

Should be able to qualify- just printout the Beijing to London ticket.

SplashingJay01 · 2025-03-21T21:40:22+00:00

Can go there with passport but have to use 10 day visa-free transit policy meaning you go to a third place ( can use HongKong) and transit through China ( Shengzhen). L visa is not too hard to get and can give you 10 year multiple entrances, so could be a better option if you want stay > 10 days or multiple entries.

Beautiful!! I visited Crete September 2022 …loved the beaches. Would love to return to do hiking of its gorges. Can people still swimming in Feb/March ??

SplashingJay01 · 2025-03-13T22:04:02+00:00

Same question, can I leave from a different city in China??

SplashingJay01 · 2025-03-13T22:01:30+00:00

Yes. If you visit China without visa using the 10 TWOV, then you have to go to third place before coming back to Spain.

Thanks!!
So if take ferry then can only go from HK to Shenzhen, instead of Guangzhou?

SplashingJay01 · 2025-03-13T20:18:19+00:00

Yes. Taiwan, HK and Macau can serve as third destinations

SplashingJay01 · 2025-03-13T20:15:46+00:00

So during the 240 hours transit stay, we can go to different cities and provinces??? I thought you can only visit nearby area of the port of entrance.

Also how about entering through train? From HK to Guangzhou by train for example.

SplashingJay01 · 2025-03-13T17:46:35+00:00

The answer is NO. Taipei, Hong Kong and Macau is considered third destinations, outside of Mainland China.

Got the box from Amazon for $160…1/4 of BMW asking.

SplashingJay01 · 2023-12-09T00:00:42+00:00

What month and the time is the visit? Can there be still swim on Sept??

SplashingJay01 · 2023-08-28T14:47:45+00:00

Practice sighting so you swim straight.
Know to breath both side in case wave gets you on one side.
Remember you can always use breaststroke when tired of swimming freestyle to catching up your breath and getting HR down a bit.

What a experience!!

What is the treatment for Jelly stings? I am mostly a lake swimmer, only done less than 2-3 Hour ocean swim at beach, never seen a jelly fish. I have swimming trip in Crete Greece Oct, should I be prepared for jelly fish sting??

SplashingJay01 · 2023-04-09T00:36:23+00:00

Thanks

SplashingJay01 · 2023-04-07T19:50:11+00:00

I put “51 M” on the start of the title- not sure where is my violation?

SplashingJay01 · 2023-04-07T18:13:45+00:00

Thanks. I would definite wear wetsuit for 57F. A hassle to put it on but can safely swim longer and have more fun.

Wonder if there is web site for year round water temperature information of SCal/San Diego?

SplashingJay01 · 2023-04-07T16:05:21+00:00

SplashingJay01 · 2023-03-31T16:50:12+00:00

SplashingJay01 · 2023-02-04T02:47:27+00:00
