I had enough time for a quick trip around the Samoeng loop today and its always a pleasure up here.
First stop was at N18.48.618 E098.48.949 to see how this building was looking, heres how it looked in march on my last ride here

A pleasant loop then it was home to get my new seat for the KLX

That looks better, the area that I sit on is nearly twice as wide as the standard seat

Tomorrows ride should test it out properly, 2500 Baht for this

I call in at Kawasaki for the 1000 km service and see this KLX with a monster seat there

Thats a seriously modified seat
