Thought that with all the change in my life in the last few months, I would just make current situation clear.
Location. A nice rented 2 bedroom bungalow in SanPranet, not far from Payap University.
Status. Single and likely to remain so for a good time.
Bikes currently owned. Well all change here:
Firstly purchased a nice second hand D-Tracker, 1 year old low mileage with a few good extras fitted. This to be my into and about town, with a bit of light off road and twisty road stuff thrown in.
Secondly, changed my 2008, trusty and well used FZ1, for a 2008 low mileage Yamaha R1. Changed with Khun Bad from Khon Kaen who did not find it that comfortable. A small cash sum handed over for the value difference. That bike I find more fun each time I ride it. Quite happy to take it anywhere, including multi-day trips, as long as it stays on road.
My current bikes parked under cover at the back of the bungalow in San Pranet.
And finally, the nearly 2 year old R1200GS with 34,000 km has been changed for a new F800GS, again not too much money needed for the change, as got a good price for the old one from a guy in Bangkok. The F800GS widely considered as one of the ideal bikes for the roads, and tracks in the North of Thailand.
Lots of change, and now looking forward to settling down to enjoy both old and new aquaintances, and spend lots of time discovering all that Chiang Mai and surrounding regions have to offer.
Anyone in reach of Sanpranet, welcome for coffee anytime and anyone short of a riding partner, please do give me a ring. Mobile number stays the same.
I give it here as it is already fairly well known, and the readers of this site tend to be a decent bunch. Mobile 0831501035
