Hey Chrissable, question:
Does the CT125 have auto-clutch or regular.
...thinking auto-clutch.
Does that rule out compression braking on the down-hills.?
papa very fond of compression brake.
Auto clutch, still drop a gear going downhill.

The farmers get everywhere riding one handed while texting with the other hand, they should open schools for us 55555

I am trying to avoid a situation like your backwards downhill dismount by using a Wave AT as the base for a bike. Bit disappointed to find they have a footbrake rather than a CVT scooter hand brake.
I will persevere.
It was a painful lesson ????

Yesterday was time for a bike service and today I rode a loop from Chiang Mai to The White Temple (Wat Rong Khun)
https://goo.gl/maps/AvSGGkVi4r3YbuJGA
I then continued on through to Khun Khan National Park and Mae Rim.
The roads were very busy with tourists and bkk registered cars which spoiled the ride a bit, but some great views around.

Today I rode to Mae Rim on the R107 before heading to the Samoeng View Point.

From here to a reservoir and Hydroelectric power plant here.

The dogs at the entrance tried to munch my ankles but a slow ride away and no actual bite.
I followed the river Mae Khan south for a while and ended up at this point and a dead end.

It seems there is a way through as two endure bike came speeding past me on my return.
Gaia maps states “No access” And Google seems to show a turning right just before the dead end though, which Gaia does not. But nothing was clear and I rode back.

Today I rode the small roads south of Chiang Dao again, taking a different route.
R107 north until about 2km after R3052 and heading north west.
https://goo.gl/maps/7rmWNp4WcMApc2Gu8
I stayed on this road and passed Raming Tea Estate and eventually came to a gate that closed the way through. I then went to visit Wat Pang Ma Oh
and continued towards Chiang Dao on single track but concreted road passing Bura Phat Resort and onto R107 back to Chiang Mai. Another great ride with stunning views.

Today I went to look around the small roads on the south side of Chiang Dao. Straight up R107 until to police check point at Ban Kaeng Panta.
https://goo.gl/maps/VSzdndkxvXfXxjraA
Turning west from there to Raming Tea Estate. This is a single track concrete road with what must be stunning views, unfortunately today it was misty and a lot of the views were hidden.
From the Tea estate I carried on to Ban Pang Lak and just after that it became a sand and clay track disappearing up into the clouds. Looking on Gaia it shows the track continuing with many side tracks climbing up to 1500 meters in places. Good for people more skilled than I am for sure.

Coolio.
Did you make it to the first of the two stream fords.?
Maybe 20km more on tame dirt road links to 1095
and could loop back to CM
No, after a tricky ride down a rubble part i was thinking how difficult if i had to climb up, i carried on quite a way but was not comfortable, also i wondered if i was on the road you had issues, so as alone i turned back. At the rubble track a Thai in front of me very nearly lost it and came off of, i was struggling in first gear but found a way avoiding the rubble.
Do you the track that goes north to Wiang Haeng? I want to give that a try.

Today’s ride was straight north on R107 to Chiang Dao and onto R3024 to Mueang Khong.
I was stopped at the park entrance and ask to pay entrance, I explained I was riding through not staying and the officer in charge asked to see my driving licence and let me through at Thai price.
A great ride and wonderful views, I would ride further along off road if not alone.

A cold start today from Chiang Mai as I rode to Phrao on R1001 to R1150 and north on R1346 towards Doi Ang Kang, this is a road with wonderful views. The summit of Doi Ang Khang was still clagged in so no photos. From here I rode south on R1340 to Mon Hin Lai

From here back to Chiang Mai. A long day 9 hours and 339km

Today I met up with another friend, Mike from Pattaya who rode up here on his Benelli. I’m starting to think people want to ride with me so they can laugh when I crash!
We had planned to ride to the rafting village, but we changed our mind and rode to Pai, which was very busy. Then back to Wat Chan and Chiang Mai. 320 km of great riding and views.
