papa al Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 Kicking the Climber over this AM, the lever broke at ignition. The local shop had a spare, not exact but close enough for now. Also tightened some fender screws & such. 340baht. Got a nice ride in and back in town before noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Crack-of-noon start for KMK activities today. Took new rear tire for Climber out and dropped by mech, (who surprisingly was open this Sunday), for mounting. Popped across the hiway to the Thai restaurant for some Khao pad gai & one of their iced coco drinks. These are really excellent, 19baht. Lots of Thai dirt-bikers riding around and some joined me for lunch. One young man from BKK was on an old Beta trials bike and another showed up on a really old Yamaha trials bike. Prolly 30 and 40 years old. Agreed to go out with them but my mech had problems with the new tire mount and she didn’t get out until after 4. So a short solo ride & back to town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) So out riding KMK trail yesty met a Brit, running club member, Graham. He was riding Suzuki VanVan125. Doing some trail lopping. These guys have been the main source of trail development & maintenance at KMK these past 5 or 10 years. They recently did a nice by-pass of a washed-out section. Thank you running club. Edited August 27, 2021 by papa al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone has cleared the trail at the tree-fall areas. Coming back in today, somehow lost the spring that holds the side-stand up. Secured it temporarily with a cord, and shop replaced it with a spring they had in stock. 20 baht. 5 5 Edited September 4, 2021 by papa al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 Putting a new DID o-ring chain on today. 539baht/ Lazada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 Went to install chain. Found front 13-tooth sprocket very worn, so replaced. Also found seal behind sprocket leaking, so replaced. The chain tension adjusting bolt (R) on the swing arm was seized-up, wouldn't move under wrench, so had to weld a T-wrench to the bolt, & heat the surrounding metal to get it out. Chased threads with tap and replaced bolt, and good to go. Almost 3 hrs labor; total bill 450baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa al Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 Out to KMK this AM. Flat on rear of Climber. Noticed leaky around stem after air-up. Over to shop. Little mechanic took the wheel off-site to have re-tubed. (Two rim-locks.) Came back after 1/2-hr or so. B340. Short ride thereafter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) Papa Al, you been practicing? Get up stand up. Fall down when you ride ... http://25.media.tumblr.com/24dc9f2cd0ecd3f07eb8c4bf222e32bc/tumblr_mxass9oqKF1ss0i0fo1_400.gif I once did the Superman thing up in Loei about 1978 when I broadsided some kids on a scooter. But I didn't have a cape, just a big sack of charcoal. And I flew over the bars and landed on my belly.

papa al Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Trouble w/ Climber. Yesty went for PM ride. Bike quit abruptly about a km out. Pushed her back to shed. Svety. This AM took to shop for carb clean. New line filter. Still running poor. Thinking about replacing the carb, maybe 20 years old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best ever is 10kms in 22 mins. I think that is pace 4.35. Marathon pace is 5.30 Just wondered is Monkey had anything to do with Pattaya Monkey Hash?
