  1. Had a Duke 200 for a few years now. Likey. Filters & such available, but good luck on KTM parts.
  2. Stop dropping.? Great advice. Why nobody tell me before. Would have saved plenty.!
  3. personally , never had more than 3 /day.
  4. Got the Navajos, Arapahoes, All them hoes wear jean jackets.
  5. From Pai to Wiang Haeng on 4014 is a 55km dirt road. Sunday papa rode up there had some noodle lunch and rode back. Cattle and water buffalo grazing along the road, but very little vehicular traffic. No rain & clear vistas. Pretty fun.
  6. Shop should be able to figure it. Not expensive. Clear exhaust of HOH. ∂ oil.
  7. Yesterday was adventuresome, bigly. Paid B100 to ride the 3024 thru Chiang Dao park to the Muang Kong area village in the mountains. Smooth blacktop, little traffic. Finding the dirt road to connect up with 1095 was tricky, but did it. At some point got off track and ended up on a steep, rutted ag road. A local man took me back to the junction going the correct way. He declined the B100 tip pro-offered. Three stream x-ings, 2 being 1/2 meter deep, were exciting. Enjoyed fair weather until reaching the concreted road. Then downpour. Made it down to the highway and into π for a late lunch. Town is hopping.
  8. Wed nite stayed at nice little bungalow at Mae Ai. Thur AM got up and rode the 1314 loop. Had brecky up at the top village. Back to resort and checked out about noon. Thence south and 1249/1178 loop thru Arounathai and back down to 107 at Chiang Doi. Really nice. Found another nice bungalow there, 400B.
  9. Next tried for a clockwise loop on 3037. Some very steep and slippery road sections. Leaf litter and algeal slime on this part. Came to a gate at the northernmost area. Just bamboo, but again retreated as the weather was threatening. Didn't want to chance getting stuck or dropping her. More riding in the area this AM is the plan.
  10. Tried a loop out of Fang. North from the U-shaped reseviour, up the ridge and then looping around the border and back down ... that was he plan. But the road was closed on the north part of the ridge. Concertina wire, so retreat in the drizzle.
  11. Been tooling around in the Mae Fa Luang district. The Lifan is running good, The weather has been 3-0 ????and the mountain roads just peachy. Locals super friendly. Nary another Farangie to be seen. Tomorrow will be riding west of Fang. This is great.!
  12. Picked up the Lifan & rode up to Mae Sai today. Got rained on some. 1149 & beyond 2mor. ????
  13. "Some quite naive ideas here like motocycle guys. Do you really believe they will lift and carry it manually up 30 floors with some straps around the shoulder or so? The Hulk?" to clarify: Ask taxi drivers if they know people to help. Maybe Cambodians, Lao, or Rhyinga.
  14. Fri, 26 Aug., 2022 BKK airport; took Bell travel here. Waiting for 1:30 pm flight to CNX. Hoping to reach CM guest house by 4pm.
