Instead of posting every single video I make separately, I decided to make a collection. So this is going to be the first part and first video of this post, with more to follow:

I wonder how many km's in total there Rudi! Great music/ video work

Thanks Phil, I was exactly 180 km's in total, including about 40 km's searching in the rain. I was on this track a long time ago, maybe something like 10 years ago, it was hard to find

Muppet chronicles were some fun times, looking forward to some more adventures for sure. The balcony incident was one of far too many for the older riders of CNX to handle it seemed.

Like this one, relaxing music and great contrast with the green and orange. Definitely now and June is the best time of the year to ride a dirt bike! We should go ride together again Rudi, I know those trails but can't remember where they are...

Hey Loop, I'm quiet sure you would have had a blast on those trails, nothing to technical, the only things that scare me are those Honda Dreams on those single tracks, you never know when they come around the corner

thanks Bob, I think the angle could have been better, I need to readjust to get a better view point, location is mainly Hang Dong towards Mae Wang

Wow, finally back in the saddle again, how good does it feel to touch the mud of mother earth and feel the rain pouring down on me, I love this country - I love the jungle.

This jacket was a must, for 150 THB I couldn't resist buying it, I was actually looking for orange but could only find neon yellow….I love it, adds a lot of fun to the colors in the jungle

good video.
thats where we went with you when you had problem with bike cutting out in the streams. What was the cause?

Too many to be true, first of all the insulator boot from the intake manifold was not properly sealed, water was getting into the carb, second problem was the electric wiring was not properly done by the mechanic, two of the stator cables were bend over an edge and were exposed after riding a couple of times, third was the valve seat were not done properly by the machine shop, I could go on, fortunately I know a friend who is a very good mechanic when he has time, he repaired my bike and now there's no more issues anymore, just one more valve adjustment and I should be fine….
