Hello dear friends, this is Liu from China!
Now I am thinking about travel in your beautiful country in nearly future, by motorbike, around the island. now I have some questions, please help me. Thanks.
1, Is it safe for a foreigner to travel in the former Tamil Tiger Zone?
2, Do I need a license to drive a motorbike? If no, then 3&4
3, Where to buy a (new or 2nd hand) motorbike in Colombo, if possible, also tell me the average price. In China, a brand new manual motorbike cost about 800 USD.
4, Where to rent a motorbike in Colombo?

Thanks again.

    Its very safe no to come to Sri Lanka because there is no problem

    Yes you need to have an International Driving License

    Beast option to rent a Bike coz it will cost you more than $1200 to buy a new bike. You ill find many places to rent bikes in Colombo.

    Thank you, you are very kind.
    And someone who send me private message, thank you too.:D
    Actually some of my friends have been Sri Lanka before, they told me how beautiful your country was, and show me the photos, wow, really wonderful.
    Currently I have no international driving license so it seems I'd better not to travel by motorbike.
    I don't know but if it is possible, I prefer to travel by motorbike, when I travel in southeast asia I rent a motorbike and drive it here and there, in the rent shop they didn't ask for the license, and no policeman checked it. The only explanation is law is different in different counties.
    And ... badu pot? sorry I don't know what is badu pot. :sorry:
