Total distance 158 km

Some modifications BobS made for my bike yesterday

Flexible aluminium to hold the panniers off the side panels

And more importantly off the exhaust

They appear to do the job, total cost 150 Baht and next to no weight gain



A few shots from along the 1189




This reservoir at Mae On is virtually empty


Does anyone know how long this statue on the 1330 has been there?


A dead end dirt track

On the unmade section of the 1330 I take a right towards Ban Mae Wong and was surprised to find this just around the corner

A couple of my side road excursions were halted by this today

Looking tricky now

Time to turn around I think.
On one track like this I had nowhere to turn around and had to push the bike backwards uphill, I was glad of the lighter weight of the 150

In Ban Mae Wong




A few tracks were tried but all dead ends, on one muddy section I was surprised at not having the rear tyre spin.
I wondered if perhaps the narrower rear tyre bites down in the mud more and finds a better bottom surface for grip

Another excursion involved some water crossings


This was the terminus


What the shooter brought home, I guess this delicacy is tonights food

Mae Takrai reservoir

Which was overflowing

Crossing these bridges was also a much easier job on the 150, I just happily rode across , on the 250 I often gingerly walked it over
