Spotted this morning in Mae Sot

Hazard warning on these by the look of it, does the CRF 250L have that too?





The partly red one is more to my liking but its still too black, why not as much red on it as there is black on that pig ugly looking black one.
I guess I started biking in 1974 when the tyres and seats were black but nothing else and thats how I prefer them

145,000 Baht and no discount, or so she said

I get about 15 km north along the 105 before being flagged down to be doused by these friendly people, I duly obliged







This lot were throwing water but none came in my direction



Todays new dirt was from
N16.90787 E098.61312 to N16.90934 E098.61492

The hot temperature soon dries me out from my Songkran soaking

A few stints on asphalt between the dirt tracks



This would be a large fire for the Mae Sot area



















Plenty of new fun tracks found again today



I am not used to this much smoke around here




Some tracks are rough in places with these lumps of broken concrete and asphalt dumped along them, I guess they help the farm machinery in the wet but they are a hindrance to me

























On the last track and I stop to watch these at work











I tried to get it falling but it went too quick

A nice cloud of dust and I ride home getting a few soakings along the way including a few along the 105

Back in Mae Sot





This is more like it

Mae Sots one way area seems to be where most of the action is with lots of very slow moving traffic



I dont hang around these too long in case thats where they are getting their water from



Chicken curry and rice at the Tea Shop for 45 Baht

Followed by a couple of rotis for 20 Baht
Just after I get into the internet cafe there is a big storm which looses the electricity supply, I walk back towards my guest house and luckily power is still on near there so another internet cafe is found.
I guess it will be a bit cooler tomorrow now
 
Interesting to see the CRF 250 L motard version for sale down there, did you get a price? Yes the original CRF 250 L does have a hazard light button, must be a required regulation in one of the countries its sold in.
