OH no! Did Sneds sell the beast?

OH no! Did Sneds sell the beast?

Aye he did! Shocking I know! But the good news is that Doughboy is the buyer so the K8 remains "in the family" so to speak

Going to be awesome riding with another GSX-R 1000 on the next big ride in August. Can't wait!

Ride On!

Tony

Aight! Well, only took 3 days of failed uploads to get ONE farking video uploaded, but finally managed to get one up-

Lots more to come but god dam_n the Thai internet is doing my head in!

Ride ON!

^^ Nice video!!

You might want to consider getting a decent connection. True or 3BB are now pretty good, both have offerings with 1Mbit upload, which is what you want when uploading huge video files. TOT has its moments but usually sucks. I have 3BB 10/1 now and it delivers on the 1Mbit upload, I monitor it constantly (you might say obsessively )

Thanks for sharing - you had loads of fun! I would have liked to try and catch up on a tricked out RD 350 or RD 500. As somehow I find my riding style changes with the bike.

We seem to have stopped at the same spot:

Ride on!

Was that taken with the 2000 baht cam Tony??

Glad to see you still have an eclectic selection of music for use on youtube

This is before the "dunder down, but ok" incident:lol:

No- I picked up a GoProHD when I was back in the US. Very trick little camera! You can see it on the bike in this photo:

It comes with a ton of different mounts so you can stick it just about anywhere. Dunder had the same camera stuck to his helmet when he crashed but unfortunately he must have hit his head because the video file was corrupted. A real shame as it would have been a lot of fun to see the crash from his point of view!

Ride On!

Here's a fun vid of me trying (and for the most part failing!) to keep up with Luke (Dirthonk) on his DRZ 400

He carries amazing speed into the corners while I must confess I'm a bit more cautious (chicken?) and my ~180 Hp was no match for his fearless riding.

Awesome!

Happy Trails!

I know, man, too much time wasted

How many SSR hooligans does it take to unload one K8?

Classic!

Ride On!

Nice videos and nice video music.

Only thing hat can scare me sometimes are animals. You guys have never had any encounters with dogs, buffalo or anything? Couple of times I've gotten a dog that was going to walk out and one time had one lying in the middle of my lane napping.

Most dogs hear my bike from a long ways off and clear out. The occasional dog that doesn't get out of the way gets run over. Fortunately most Thai dogs aren't that big so running them over with a bike really isn't much of a problem. Ride On! Tony

Just don't brake whilst hitting them; the loss of traction of shredded guts plus locked brakes could be disasterous.

Dogs are not too bad, it the buffaloes that are a little harder to plough thru.

you need more speed to get through these ones...

Must test that theory one day. Of course there could be benefits if I survive

One consolation, the Buffalo's over here are like big puppies, not like the 'psychopathic smash you into the ground until you're a bloody pulp' buffalos in Africa

LoL.

I always thought if I ended up hitting a dog at 150+ I'd fall for sure. Anyone here actually hit a Thai size dog at a high speed and not fallen?

yes i was on a ride with a guy on a VFR and he hit a dog at high speed with his gf on the back. nothing happened to the riders or the bike, cant say the same for the dog. i think this guy is a dog magnet though.. isnt the first time and wont be the last. ride on through!

yea well I guess it wouldn't be like a speed bump because the material can be compressed, lol

LoL.

I ran over a dog a few years ago on my Ninja 250R doing about 120km/hr on the 304 from Chachoengsao to Bangkok. Was after dark and raining. When I saw that pooch in the middle of the road I thought I was going down for sure. Went right over the mutt and coasted to a stop figuring I had to have damaged something on the bike. Nothing- not a bent rim, tweaked fork, not a scratch.

Since then I've bumped a few dogs but not run one over recently. I really do believe that a loud pipe gets the dogs attention. The Ninja 250R had stock pipe and was super quiet. All my subsequent bikes have been a bit on the loud side.

Ride On!

Definitely a fan of noise Tony. Most of the Soi muts head for the hills when I come down the road, except my dog. Little bastard (term of endearment) comes running down the Soi when he hears me coming home. On more than one occasion I've almost squished him when putting my foot down for the side stand. He'll learn, pain is a wonderful teacher...!!!

LMAO! Good one Garry! In Thailand the "psychopathic smash you into the ground until you're a bloody pulp" Rot Kwai is called a "Fortuner". Unpredictable and highly aggressive creatures they should be approached with caution! Ride On! T

Note to myself - must try and save more money/must try and earn more money, so I can go on secret soi rides without having to rely on Nike trainers as boots and jeans as leathers!

LoL.

Would love to have a straight through exhaust bolted on, but unfortunately Pattaya policemen wouldn't be too kind if I blipped the throttle (accidentally on purpose) while they are standing at a soi corner giving out tickets!

whilst on my zx10r following my buddy on a 998R at " spirited speeds" along highway 1148, the duke hit a dog at 130-140km/h, dog went spinning like a ten pin bowl, bike stayed straight, no major damage done to either bike or dog( small limp excluding), them thai dogs are certainly made of thick stuff. i thought he was a gonner for sure!!
