Feeling cranky. I see many of my GTR images are being ripped off with the watermark removed & posted on a FB group with no credit. Hence you will see a more prominent watermark from now on. Miserable thieving pricks.

I think these days with the editing programs available it is near impossible to protect your personal photos once they are posted on the internet, I agree they should ask for permission first and then give credit to who took the photo IMO.............................I also see some of my personal photos on different Facebook groups without my permission aswell :mad:

Preparing to head to Laos & Luang Prabang for the first time in 6 years, when I got hit by a 22-wheel Chinese container truck.
Sick for 3 weeks with a head cold & flu, picked up on the first day of Hmong New Year! Hopefully recovered in the next 48 hours & back on the road.

Hi all
Just back from a new try to cross to lao via puh doo, still it don't work on Lao side as there's no facility for visa on arrival
-as David experienced lately-
... Anyway, it was a bit ment as a cb500x touring Uttaradit & Nan. And I can tell you-
The ever wonderful road from Bo bia to Sali, nr "1243" is newly paved. (compared to 2019)
A great speed road, wonderful views, no traffic, quite new paved

We reopened our restaurant (Mon and Kurt's) in Chiang Dao, a few blocks from our old restaurant. Bungalow, camping, hot showers. GPS coordinates: 19°23'32"N 98°58'03"E Note: Phone before coming. (099-579-7392) We are both riders, too and are often not home. We do mostly take-out and delivery. Meals at our place will have to be pre-ordered by phone, to ensure fresh ingredients and great taste!
Back home in Chiang Khong again after another week away for medical tests & carpal tunnel syndrome surgery.

Hi David. Mon and I, are riding up to Chiang Khong, for the music festival on Dec 2nd. Any cheap, clean rooms you can recommend up there? If you have a contact number for them, that would be great. (around 400 Baht with aircon)
I have just spent A month riding around northern Thailand with various bikes
Cb500X CM to MHS, handled OK but for worn rear tyre, a bit heavier than My KLX but smoother with comfortable seating for 2 up
NR 700 Auto
Very weird, no clutch or gear leaver, with paddle shift or full auto, sport mode was good with better engine braking,
CM to CR 2 up then CR to CM solo and had some fun. Weird but a lot of fun

If you had to buy one bike the for touring the North, which one would it be.
Hi everyone. Just finished a 10 day motorcycle tour in Vietnam. Loved it. Looking for companies running multi day tours (7-10 days) in Cambodia. I've found lots of scooters and only 1 company with bigger bikes at $5500 Australian dollars. Was hoping to find something in the middle.
Road bikes only.
Cheers Shaun
Thanks for registering me. Thanks for this picture made by Captain Slash. I hope he is still with us. This picture means a lot for the Karen people who fled into Thailand at this checkpoint in 1997. May I use it non-commercially?
Thanks in advance for your time
