I was hoping to get a "real" ride around upcountry Thailand to no avail because of work. This is me trying to enjoy my 30kms ride going to work. Wont suffice though..lol

30 km is a long commute in Bangkok traffic.
I'm visiting my son in Bangkok. He's going to lend me his Yamaha to entertain myself while he works.
And we might shop for a PCX for him. (Maybe that was the Leo talking)

As you can see the traffic on my way to work ain't that bad. I'll get at least 5 kms of bad traffic in the city center before I reached the outskirts of the city for good long roads like the one you see on the pics.

Ps: I prefer Chang :lol:

I think we might just about be done until May, although maybe one or two more downpours.

Very pretty country

Are you excited to see Harley making their bikes more affordable to Asia? I find it ironic i've contorted my American body to the Asian man's ride and now the Asian man will look like a bump on a log cruising around on 800 lbs of Harley Davidson. Can't wait to see the lane sharing videos LOL.

I recall when the protests a coupe were on in 2014, the LA Times published an online article about how the uncertainty was affecting tourism and the airport was empty. They posted a picture of a solitary person walking with a 'Terminal 21' sign above them. Oops :o Terminal 21 is the mall. Someone failed to do their homework. The pic was about for about 6 hours before being replaced. :lol:
