Escaped the Big Smoke bright and early and made excellent time to Petchabun.

Coffee stop near Saraburi-

You know you're getting close when you reach the big Pii Ta Khon near Dan Sai!

Unusually wet weather for this time of year and some of the roads were very slippery. We saw a half dozen crashes and wrecks today, some of them quite nasty...

Met up with friends at the King Hotel in Loei.

Nice mix of Harley's, BMW's, Japanese bikes, a Ducati Multistrada and a Triumph Bonneville.

Most will continue on to Udon Thani tomorrow for the bike week there.

I always look forward to the great food and Erdinger at Chris's Steak House in Loei!

A few more pics from this weekend's tour!

Big turn out on Friday night- most left on Saturday morning headed to Udon Thani for the bike week there. Here's all the bikes lined up in front of the King Hotel in Loei-

We left Bangkok as the Three Amigos, were renamed the Three Stooges in Loei, and now we're being called the Three Monkeys ;)

A visit to the local barber- mohawks and a shave for 60 baht a head :D

It's a shame that the new ThaiVisa has lost the media button... sad.png

The tag still works though, you can go [ media ] link to embedded youtube video[ / media ]...smile.png

Nice trip report Tony . I'm a bit curious as to why someone would call their MC Nanu-nanu...

Aye, still works for youtube, but I just bought a ContourHD camera and the vids are hosted on the Contour site... The embed code doesn't work on ThaiVisa but works fine on most other forums...

Lemme try one more time-

Thanks- Nanu Nanu MC is a joke ;)

If you ever meet Dave and West you'll understand.

We're really not in to patches and all that nonsense :)

Are you going to post a route when you can? I want to know where that bridge this!

I gave a good hint in the previous post-

Kawasaki Versys chasing Triumph Sprint ST on Highway 12 through Nam Nao National Park, Thailand

Since installing the PowerCommander V I seem to have lost a bit on top, but the Autotune is still making adjustments so hopefully it will improve. I think I need about 20 more Hp to catch that magnificent Sprint ST! :D
