thanx colin,, will see what is coming up, we usually siting whole evening in the river side and eat and drink there,,

OH i almost forgot what happen this afternoon on my way to Khoen Kaen

just before Khoen kaen brewery of Singa beer,, i was coming again moderate traffic and doing around 130kmh and braoching easy right hand turn less than 10dec bend, i ws around 200met away when 2 pick ups start to over take a slower car and as i flash my head light they when off quickly but when i was around 70met away one pick up suddenly just cae out and start to over take the car, i really did not have so much space about 1-1 1/2met in my left side to avoide lethal head on coalition with him, but he got so scared as well as he try to pul back as much he could,,all thing was over with in 2-3sec and again this was really goo reminder that keep on looking ALL THE TIME oncomig traffic and try to keep your left side clear just incase you need to do sudden manuver,,i had about 30cm clearance to his pick up...
guys ride safely,,,and look out all times

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.

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...

Cheers Marco!
Great to see you and sorry again that we lost you at the junction to Phayao. (Thought you knew the way and we were waiting for you in the shade just ~50m down the road) (Pics courtesy of Tiger, aka NOAY) :wink:
WaitingforMarcoSmall.jpg

Waiting for Marco...

Still waiting for Marco... :wink:
We got a bit worried so backtracked on the 1091 to the last place we saw you. Didn't find you and wasn't able to reach you on the phone so we had to assume you'd take a wrong turn.
whereisMarcoSmall.jpg

Where is Marco? He must have turned left towards Phrae instead of right towards Phayao :oops:

Ah well- good times! I had some great pics as well but lost my camera somewhere along the way... crybaby
Look forward to seeing you again soon!
BUT CHANGE THAT DAMN TIRE MAN!!! Making us all very nervous!!! :shock:
All the best,
Tony
