Motorcycle Diary I

From the jungles of Northern Thailand, here’s another video I’ve titled Motorcycle Diary I…



It’s a personal interest piece of me sitting on my Supercool Honda Phantom motorcycle (all 200cc’s of mean machine). It’s unedited to add to it’s charm. I took several motorcycle trips on the Phantom from Chiang Mai, Thailand. One up to Doi Inthanon (highest point in Thailand and site of some amazing Stupas), another East of Chiang Mai to Muang Pan and Lampang on the back roads. Another trip took me West of Chiang Mai to Ban Mai Viewpoint took me on some roads that aren’t really roads, they’re carriage tracks  through the jungle.

It was all good fun but I discovered I’m not built to ride a motorcycle for a long ways…it’s tough on a old guy! :)

I’m currently geeking out in a place that if rented monthly is about US$150. It’s half as big as my apartment in Lakewood, CO and has A/C, CableTV and wired Internet in the room. It’s cheap to live here and yes, there are many, many Thai ladies to go out with. I was asked just today if I wanted a girl that was selling me an electronics item. I’m leaving in two days or I would have said ‘yes’. They’re very nice…and they’re not all shy!
