    My wife, son, and I went to Paris, France, in January. Found a local dealer, and when we walked in, there were 3 separate doors. One door was clothing and helmets. The second door had the bikes. The third door was the service department.
    When we walked up to the dealer, they had a few bikes out front. One of which was a California Highway Patrol bike. We thought that was pretty funny since we are from California.

    funny you mentioned the womens shirts. Im a BIG dude and I tour quite a bit. When we stop in different cities my buddies and I will sometime rent out a "supposedly" haunted location. They never have my size, but they always have my wife's size. So my wife, who hates the paranormal stories, has the most wicked collection of tshirts and hoodies from across the US.

    Yeah I went to a Harley dealer in Vietnam. They were nice to me. Didn't bother me. Answered questions when I asked. Shared the prices clearly (which are INSANE there due to import taxes). I did also go to a dealer in Phoenix and test rode two bikes and the folks there seemed great as well. No BS. No fake manliness.

    When my wife and I went to the Philippines a year and a half ago, I stopped in at the other Harley-Davidson dealership in Manila. It was small compared to a lot of dealerships in the US, but it was very nice, well-stocked with bikes, and the usual clothing, etc. And the staff were wonderful. I think I remember posting in the comments on one of your other videos that I bought the only two 2XL t-shirts they had. 😂

    Singapore is just amazing, when I was there 12 years ago I learnt a few things, any new vehicle required you to purchase a COE (certificate of entitlement) which then cost $30,000, then the tax on a vehicle was 125% , thats the reason why you only see taxi's and high end cars...there is so so much money there! The casino requires residents to pay $200 to go in but visitors free. And the fines.... near my hotel was a waterway with a bridge over, underneath was a pathway, if you was a cyclist you had to dismount and push the cycle, if you got caught cycling under the bridge it was a $1000 fine... one final thing, a LOT of the police walk around in PLAIN clothes so you don't know who they are till they bust you!
