ok so now im Home and this part of the report contain some NIGHT Ride clips what i took with my Normal Canon IXUS 801S camra,so bit shaky and fact that i was riding with one hand at the time,, so beare with me on that,,meaning was just give you a hint how it looks for those who has not ride during 1am.. i personally love it.
OK back to story
So after thank meeting i was proaching to Phetchabun so time to call Bard and see how is he doing and wheather or not he is coming, and He could not join,, how dissapointing,,but then i was middle of the road,, HEY,not middle but on the road and it was 1pm and i been thinking where should i stay over night so i desided to run up to Phitsanulok and try to find bed in there and Bed i found, nice very good hotel for 400thb with real coffee shop downstairs,but no breky,,coffee joint opens at 7am.
Also if you dont have your own laptop with you coffee joint has inet for free of charge(for customers)
Free coffee and Snacks for Hotel customers
Or you can sit in the basket and look world go by..
So mornign i have a ride from phitsanulok to Nan 377+7 to turn, nice day ride, im off 8am
on the junktion of Phitsanulok and HW 12 tey have build thse nice houses,, for what i have no idea...
I have to say that HW11 is one of the booring ride,, but luckily i have cruise control on my BUSS, so i can just sit and relax...
Nothing else to take a pic,,so at least signs..hihiihi
Then there is 1km road work, not bad and there was no loose surface in my time(day &night ride)
I arrived to our destination about 2.5hr before "huligans"
Grand Mansion in Nan, great place and very good parking.
Rooms has Wifi and power shower, meaning good water preasure.
After eating, there was time to water the local trees,,
it was so early so we went to restaurants along the river, i think it was just beside the terasse restaurant. then off we went to river side and our friendly staff was there also,franz you remeber him,he remember all of us and ask where was the rest,,
also Pink bikes where there, and later Tony has fell in love to that bike...(pic later)
Beer first and food..
Then have a fun with the "Pink" bike
There was defently some atraction towars the tips in here...
Grehard and Tiger where nackerd so they went to Beauty sleep early and Me and Tony continue and later where joined by Dirt Honky,i think it was and his buddy,,gracy dudes but lots of fun, guys where in to JD and it went down rather good speed(they where NOT with bike).
So gerhard and Tiger left
Then there more odd looking bikes..(suzuki was this)
And grazy lads,,nice to meet you guys ws lot of fun(if i remember right)
hope you had good time in Channel X disco,,
Late night group (Others sleep in this time already..LOL)
Next morning, Breaky in HOT Bread, good food, but DO NOT go there if you are in hurry,, service requires a bit of time, but food is exelent.
Then where where off to ride and it was fun end exiting(I over shot one turn and almost hit the bridge and if i would, i would fly down to rived 20 or so met below,,luckily i did not,, so i LEARN again take my sweet time and do not push too hard, 420kg do not stop and turn so easilly...
So huligans where ready and of they go and i followed them in some (10min) behind,, :wink:
After fueling every one was ready
here i still see them..
Here i dont...
But like said after that 1st turn,, i took really slow..
