55555, that's cute.

Any Harley Davidsons in Laos?

A nice looking motorcycle. Does they have police car too or only motorcycle?
8-)

I don't think there are any Harley Davidsons in Laos, and yes there are police cars in Laos. Most of the time, they use motorbikes.

Motorcycle is more dangerous. Maybe if police chase criminals or drug dealer with motorcycle they might get run over by car.
8-) :-?

I haven't heard of police get run over by a car yet. Some roads are narrow and in poor condition in Laos, so it's quicker to chase criminals on motorbikes.

I'm pretty sure I saw some 'vi-loon' rapper from Laos ridding on one in Vientiane's CBD in his music video. This guy had a Luang Phabang accent too. Anyway, it just looked 'hot' the way he stood out from the crowd. I want one now.

Do they have anywhere where people can go to learn to ride mopeds?

These motorcycles remind me of the 1980's TV show called 'CHIPS'-(California Highway Patrols)  No Lao 'Eric Estrada' in the picture ;D?

He probably imported it from Thailand.

You can learn to ride motorbikes in the That Luang erea, there's plenty of space.

I mean: anywhere where you can go to get proper PROFESSIONAL tutelage?
How much?

Yes there is, for $100 US and you receive a license as well.

That is quite a hefty price-tag, even for Lao standards! Whooooooooooowww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

That's why many Lao drive without proper training and driver license. Some people can't afford $100 for licenes.  8-) :o

Very expensive if you make $100 a month and license cost $100.
:o

Does a Harley Davidson and a moped operate in the same way?
Can I just start off on a moped first, then just jump into a Harley?
Does anybody know?

I don't like to ride motorbikes out in the sun.

If they can afford to buy a motorbike, then they should be able to afford a license.

Can you answer the question now, please, 'nang?

I don't ride motorbikes, and I don't know anything about them except that they come with gears or automatic.

The admin' is a part of the former. That's why she doesn't ride mopeds but cruises in style in her 'mint' BMW.
She's not loso peasnts like us ;D

Many driver in Vientiane drive without car insurances and license. I think most rich are government officials.
:o

Can somebody please tell me who owns all those MASSIVE gated mansions all over Vientiane? Who are the 'rich' in our beloved Laos? When did Laos ever need gates? What happened to the open-styled homes? Are we not 'pinong' anymore?

Maybe rich government officials, Chinese, Vietnamese businessmen. They won't let you near if you're poor.

Yes. That makes sense now! :-?

I'm not 100% sure. Maybe LP Admins know.
