Done!

The riders
Davidfl & Scotty007.
Oh well, we had a good time, made "tamboon", & got blessed.
The road was thick with traffic cars / mini buses & BIKES. Hundreds of bikes going out to Pai for the bike week party tonight. Indeed it was an exhilarating ride cutting through the traffic there & back.
And despite the hundreds of bikes we saw only one accident - on the return trip just west of Mokfa waterfall on a sweeping right hander, someone unfortunately lost it & collected the Armco big time.
Pai is really rocking, with thousands of Thais in town to experience the "big cool."
After going there for 20+ years who would have ever thought you'd have places like Sa Pan Pai coffee beside the river just out of town.
Or that the old bridge would be such a tourist attraction
a must stop & photograph for the city slickers.
But the bridge is really old
from BC 1942!
We stopped on the bridge to photograph the Thai tourists & have a chuckle.
look at the vehicles lined up for people to have a "bridge coffee & photo."
After this photo session I took off a little too fast & left Scotty007 behind.
He never caught up, so after waiting beside the road a bit I doubled back to see.....
this still on the bridge.
Yep, a broken BeeEm with a naughty sensor. It would not show neutral, the gear or start. As dead as a......
This was not a problem really, except that I had a camera & was able to record the memorable occasion for my good mate Scotty.
After borrowing a screwdriver from the trusty AT tool box, (the BeeEm one would not do the trick) we were able to disconnect & reconnect the battery, & hey presto it all worked.
Scotty thanks for coming. It was great to be out riding with you again. Next week's trip to Nan should be a ripper.
Thanks too to Moto-Rex & Contact Travel for donating blankets.
