Well weather was marvellous today morning so decided to get the SRX some more kilometers on the new piston, didn't know where to go so first for a Brekkie at the Kafe and then just by coincidence remembered the 'Keetmut' run (Xmas) some years ago and decided to head to Mae Jo; not to Mae's Jo...........
Pott-pott-potted along the 1001 in direction of Phrao, must say landscape is beautiful, all in green, I liked it.
Just noticed some flooded flats, they must have had a hell of rain some 20 kms before Phrao as all ricefileds still flooded.....
Stopped at a bridge for my hourly cigarette......water's still plenty.....
After a short stop at the usual PTT in Phrao, continued on the 1150 and then turned into the 1346. Needed to take it a little slower than usual because of a) a new oversized piston and b) some potholes and lots of gravel on the roads, a leftover from heavy rains. Area around Ban Lom is still the same beautiful scenery as 2 or 3 years ago, can't remember.
Continued on the nice 1346, saw several small snakes on the roads but was as always too quick to stop for a foto.
Wind was quite strong today and on higher elevations also quite chilly.
Short before hitting the 107 near Pang Ma Kham had to have again my smoke, so got even 2 fotos.........
People working in the fields, everyone with a big smile as they actually don't have to sweat off their backs anymore......
From then on straight to the X-Center for some munchies and then via Samoeng back home.
All in all a very nice ride & day, never stressed the old Lady too much, so cruising between 90 and 110 but on some stretches hitting 150 for a short burst........ :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Tomorrow hopefully the weather will be as nice again so I can hit the road once again, cheers, Franz
