Motorcycle Safety Tips for Riding in a Developing 
Country

You ride a motorcycle in the US and want to travel 
to other countries by motorcycle. Shipping your 
motorcycle to the foreign destination takes weeks 
or even months of planning. There are plenty of 
professional companies that specialize in shipping 
bikes by airfreight or by the sea that can advise 
you how it is done.
Before You Depart:
The to-do list to be completed during the planning stage 
of your international motorcycle tour:
Get a passport and any visas needed and make sure your 
passport is valid for at least six months.
Get vaccinated and carry your shot record with you.
Take enough prescription medicines along first aid kit to 
last the entire trip.
Take necessary motorcycle gears with you.
Other Things to Do
Scan your travel documents into your cell phone, you 
don’t have to be online to retrieve them. Get 
international calling from your cell phone service 
provider. Some countries will accept a US driver’s license 
others require that you also carry a driving permit for 
that country.
Also, get international insurance for your motorcycle and 
overseas health insurance. Some countries charge an 
exit/entry fee, so know what the costs are in advance.

Destination: South East Asia
Well, despite all the planning and preparations, you 
are finally in the first country of your motorcycle tour, 
SE Asia. Let's say Thailand just so you know this 
country has a motorcycle death rate that is 4 times 
greater than the rest of Asia and 6 times greater than 
the rest of the world.
Tips for Motorcycling in Asia
Wear a helmet, if an accident occurs, your head is 
protected. In Asia, many riders do not wear 
helmets, and the death toll is very high because of 
no helmet. While you are at it wear suitable 
protective clothing like a
 Men Mesh Motorcycle Jacket.

Rent Instead Of Shipping
If you decided to rent a motorcycle or scooter instead of 
shipping yours from the US, there is something to 
remember. You may rent a scooter or motorcycle for a few 
US dollars per day the real scam comes when you return 
the vehicle. Dishonest vendors may claim damage to the 
motorcycle to extort extra money from you. Take photos 
or videos of the motorcycle or scooter you rent and point 
out any scratches or damage before you pay the vendor.
Money
It is best to exchange money in the country at 
the banks, as hotels offer lousy exchange rates. 
Get plenty of cash as some of the petrol pumps 
(gas stations) don’t take credit cards. When you 
cross into another country, do so at 
international border crossings. Have all your 
papers in order, and things should go smoothly.
