Dam Phrao Weather

[Ally]

A short story really.

Hardly any photos as you can only take so many of the same scenario before they become boring.

Colin, Kevin & I met at Riders Corner @ 09:00 & much to our horror, it was closed. Colin nipped off for a burger at a local 7/11.

We eventually set off up the 107 and at Mae Taeng, we took the road right to Mae Gnat Dam.

The water was extremely low.

We next stopped at the Phrao 7/11 for a chat & decided to take lunch in town.

Disaster - Kevin & I didn't get what we ordered & Kevin was too polite to complain & ate his. I went hungry. Crazy place.

We took the 1150 over to Wing Papao & the weather really changed.

The sky grew dark & it was obvious that there was rain on the way.

At the PTT in Mae Kachan we met with John Gooding & friends who said the roads were wet further north around Mae Suai.

A very casual ride today, it was good to see Kevin again.

Yes it was an enjoyable ride today in good company and for once I didnt get the camera out so no photos from me.

I cant help laughing at the irony of me being the only one happy with his food when I am usually the one sending it back.

Thanks Ally&Kevin for a lovely day out

Sure isn't unheard of at this time of year but very weird sky morning & night.

That is so true Colin.

Ally -We'd just done 2 huge BBQ group parties 2 nights in a row, we gave the staff the morning off, sorry we missed you, looks like it was a great day out

Ally, what tires do you have on your Versys and are they good for light/medium off road?

Hi there

They are stock standard and really bad on broken up & loose.

You can certainly ride broken road in them but you constantly need your wits about you to stay on course.

I am sticking with them a while to see if they will hopefully deter me from going places I really shouldn't

Wow, impressive. I changed mine to Pirelli Angels after 6,000 km and there were a world of difference, on pavement that is. But they are strictly for the road and I'm not good enough to venture off road with them.
