    Hey another great video although you are scaring me a bit now about getting old. Just turned 73 and can't to my CT125s. You do a great job on your videos. I spent Christmas along with 90 other shipmates back in 1968. Our ship took a two week RR in Thailand from Vietnam. Good times as you can imagine. Thanks again!

      I'm surprised that you haven't thought about retiring in Thailand. After my first visit here, I decided that the climate, the food and the atmosphere was to nice to not enjoy. Not to mention how it is soooo much cheaper to live here than in the US....... Thanks for the comment........

    UA-cam recommended this video to me today. It was the first video on my home page. Somehow UA-cam knew that this ride was more my speed.. no hells, no mud bogs, no vertical impossible hills, no abysses.. LOL.. nice slower pace an a smoother trail and great scenery, very enjoyable. Someone in Florida won the $1.5 Billion US Mega-Millions this week, but it wasn't me, drat.

      You wouldn't be the David Mallory from Ponca City, Oklahoma would you? The seat is fine, it wasn't my rear end that was sore, it's my lower back. I broke it about 12 years ago and if I set in any one position too long, it starts to ache. When we started back home, we were quite a distance from my house and it was a lot of highway riding and I just didn't want to take time to stop and stretch so my back started aching. It was my fault, I know better, but it was a long ride and I just didn't want to stop.... My bad......

      I like making them but the editing is getting harder to do as I seem to be shooting to much footage the more trips I go on. I shot over an hours worth for this video, there is a lot of riding footage that looks just like what you get in the final video that got cut in editing. I'd like to go on a two or three day ride and do an hour long movie of it. Maybe one of these days.......

      Lazy dog has to sleep in the house, in a bed, with a fan and the air conditioner on. She won't eat out of a food dish, she has to be hand fed and she wants a different type of food daily. But, she is a good watch dog and a great snake dog. She has been sprayed in the eyes three times by the Malaysian spitting Cobras, she deserves to be pampered. She's still lazy though......

      We have a Toyota Camry car and a Toyota Hillux pickup and a TaTa pickup. The wife drives the Toyota pickup as her daily driver and mine is the TaTa. I did a review on it a couple years ago, suppose I need to do another update on the truck. It has some pretty hefty suspension on it. I use it for any heavy hauling we do for our property as the Toyota pickup is to nice to overload with heavy stuff. Next time I go get a load of sand, I'll do a video on it. The sand is always wet and that makes it really heavy, kind of make the old TaTa squat a bit.......

      Thats very tricky to ride on. I would add that much of that road is really single track riding bc when u deviate off t 2 ft wide cement track its becomes unstable n high probability for crashing. U were impressively stable! That sand on concrete isn't reassuring either.
