What Asia has taught me As some me be aware, I have been living in Thailand as my base camp for the last 12 months. In this time I have covered more than 30'000km by bike through a large portion of Thailand and Laos, but my time is nowhere near over yet, the bucket list gets things crossed off as quickly as they are added.
I had been riding around on a Kawasaki Versys 650 for most of it, but changed off onto a Ducati Hyperstrada 821cc recently, which lasted me all of 1 month before getting ploughed into on my way to Bangkok for my Thai language class. This saw me off the road for over a month with fluid on my knee and a dampened spirit. https://scontent.fbkk5-1.fna.fbcdn.n...e0&oe=58357579 Well insurance has paid me out, and the new Ducati is downstairs in preparation for the next adventure. https://scontent.fbkk5-1.fna.fbcdn.n...19&oe=57F21D04 My next big boarder crossing adventure is pened in for November, when I will be riding back into the north of Thailand, to Chiang Rai, to meet up with some guys and head across into Laos again, then crossing into China for 2 weeks with a guide. This trip will see elevation of 4800mtrs and temps in the -5 range. Here's a few randoms from the last 12 mths https://scontent.fbkk5-1.fna.fbcdn.n...78&oe=5828931E https://scontent.fbkk5-1.fna.fbcdn.n...b7&oe=5836DB1B https://scontent.fbkk5-1.fna.fbcdn.n...83377931_o.jpg https://scontent.fbkk5-1.fna.fbcdn.n...cd&oe=582A4B92 https://scontent.fbkk5-1.fna.fbcdn.n...7e&oe=57F2C10B https://scontent.fbkk5-1.fna.fbcdn.n...fd&oe=582742D8 https://scontent.fbkk5-1.fna.fbcdn.n...78486532_o.jpg Why the hell am I doing this, because it's something that's has always been an itch that needed scratching.
