What a beautiful day for a ride. I'm delivering a Versys for a friend who's out of the country. Left the big smoke at "O-Dark-Hundred" and have been making excellent time. Already passed Korat and it's only 0930... Maybe I'll stop in Pi Mai to chill at the old temple ruins.

Happy Trails!

Tony :)

Nope, not my bike, same color and tires though!

A friend who is away for work bought it sight unseen from a seller in Bangkok and I offered to ride it to his home in Khon Kaen and he's flying me back to Bangkok tomorrow.

Any excuse to get out and ride! ^_^

You are a brave man. :) I would be nervous about riding any used motorcycle (or car for that matter) that you don't know where it's been for such a long distance.

Well, it's a Versys so its quite new and with less than 10k km on the clock and I know the seller and gave the bike a good once over and it's in excellent condition.

Installed an Arrow exhaust for my friend- the bike sounds and runs great!

Wow, this new ThaiVisa mobile app is awesome!

Stopped in PiiMai to relax in the ancient ruins. It's always so nice and cool in there. Was tempted to take a nap!

Got done for speeding just past Korat. The damage? 400 Baht or about $14! Gotta LOVE Thailand!

They got you to stop? huh.png

Went through two of them on the same route a few months back, pull out a little bit and speed up. wai.gif

This wasn't a couple coppers by the side of the road waving their ticket books- it was a proper road block where they had the highway narrowed down to one lane and had a dozen or so coppers who were stopping and checking every vehicle. The only way to run that kind of checkpoint is to cross the median and proceed against traffic or u-turn and find a way around. No big deal. 400 Baht is a small price to pay for riding as fast as you like :)

Bike was successfully delivered and I enjoyed a fun night in Khon Kaen with Chang Noi and Marcusb and we're looking forward to our next tour!

Happy Trails!

Tony
