New to motorcycles and off-road riding, I ventured through Mindanao on my brand new Honda with my colleague Dag and his well-used Suzuki. Things were okay until we came to our first river crossing. Dag offered to show me how to do it by taking his across first. While he was walking back across and bulldozer driver pulled up and offered a life in his scoop. By the end of the trip such crossings were mundane.
