Well well
Here we go, what all started as a small discussion turns to be long houl tour
My original plan was meet the Tony and Tiger Sachs guys in Phetchabun and ride with them few days and come home, but then David U. posted dinner invitation to Mae Chaem few days later and i looked that well, since im near by why not ride to dinner with ALL the lad's, and since im there why not drop by in CNX as well,, and one's im in there, why not check the road what Ben found and so i did and then since i did that why not going to Nan,,,as i was in Nan why not going to Loei,, and ones i was in Loei why not drop by and see my Finnish friend in Udon thani,,, and ones i was there why not check how is the mekhong water level and road 212 condition as i have driven that 6yrs ago last time,,,and then back home,,, something like Forest Gump,, and so i rode all that and total was 4126Km(from bikes dash board) from GPS it was 4023Km as pictures are showing in the end.
Starting KM's on my bike and doing snail speed as i like it ,,lol
weather was nice(for now)
In the news one saw all time time abt floods here in ubon area,, well praocing Sisaket there was a little not that much but enough to flood the fields
Ones i got closer to KK,, it did not look good
my first rain today and ofcourse ones i got wets on, rain stop,, hell no im gonna stop as i was only 30Km out from KK and for my next fuel stop.
All the road cnstrucktions and rain makes my boots look muddy
Road from Lomsak to Phetchabun as abt 20Km road constructions ongoing and looks like it will take time before they can finish that
I safely arrived to Buraba hotel 1 day ahead of other lads,,
it was easy evening for me and few brews.
Was planing to go out and have steak but cross the road where was steak house, was ofcourse closed,,so i went to tesco and got my dinner from there and early bed for me.
Oct 19 Boys arriving,, got message from Tony that they should be in hotel abt 10ish
So i was rady like little boy scoult and waited and waited,, 10 came and go,, no boys,,, 1030,,no boys
11am and HEY i hear some loud sounds and yes there is the guys
1st came Reinhard with his 750 Virago
Tony was next
then came Green monster with Dave
and thats it....i was thinking that Tony say that there will be 4 guys,,,,
but hey,,, one was bit late, Allan came with the pick up,,,and sligtly after others,,,with obvieus reasson,,
had small minor miss hab,, but main thing is as always he is ok and bike is not,, material damages can be fixed easilly,, bones need some time to heal as we so many knows
Then coffee and small re-cap and sit down
We hit the road and Allan took the room and relax.
We had very nice weather and nice loop we did
Dave is speeding
Then there is always MANDATORY pause pictures
Weather was absolutely nice
I think it was RD 2331 and this location almost got me,, F@#**K that was closed (again),but kept rummer on the road this time..
Then we caught some nice low clowds or high mountains,, Dave is going in first
We all made in 1 piece to the coffee joint
took some awsome photos and talked abt that mud place and then it all hit me,,,,
this was the same road where a year earlier i went off to the banana trees
this is how it looked just year earlier
and now all beautiful roads
It was all clowds but then suddenly it was all gone
Noooo,, dont ask me how this happen as i have NO clue what so ever,,but cool picture IMHO
On the way back to hotel catcha some shower,,
so it was good time for late lunch,,around 3pm
Time to time in this trip road has given up but nicely thai road workers have managed to mark them and in many cases there is also advance info just before
In the evening it was what the GTRiders and SSR and now Tiger guys do best,, EAT and Drink
and then there was time to put 3 big farangs in to 1 man 3weeler,,,and race to hotel.
i will keep these post day by day so it down load faster as there is not so many pictures to down load
this was Day 1 and 2
