Just a couple more days and I'll start setting everything on it up for the Lampang Thai Enduro in October. Need to have everything set up so I can have time to get the feel of everything on it. I'll be shooting some footage of all the things I'm doing to it to prep it for the race....
We stopped at a roadside market that was just getting set up and the ladies all wanted their pictures taken, so I took them and thought why not just put them in the video. The little gal that made my Thai Tea for me is named Gee, I met her there years ago and she always jokes with me when I stop for one of her green tea drinks. They taste excellent and she always has a smile....
@@richardduke9788 I assume you are talking about your "short videos" and not the color of the shorts you wear. Although, I'd like to see a pair of shorts in raccoon traps color... Just kidding, I knew what you were talking about.....
I've had mine now for almost four years and for some reason can't stop changing things out on it. The bike is so much fun to ride and now that we are going to ride a pair of them in a Thai Enduro, which I don't believe has been done before, it's going to really show what these bikes can really do if set up correctly.... I think....🤔
Hi, Eddie! Am VERY pleased to see you posting videos again. In all seriousness, out of the 57 UA-cam channels that I subscribe to, yours is EASILY and UNQUESTIONABLY my absolute favorite! Please keep up the great work! You live an awesome life in a wonderful country. You (and Robert) are fantastic!!
Thank you very much, that means a lot to me what you said... Robert and I shot a prelude video today for a trip we are going on starting Monday, it's 5 day and 4 nights taking in the Northern parts of Thailand to the Golden Triangle. I'll be posting are set up video tomorrow that we shot today and then it will be over a week before we get back to edit out the 5 days of video material. Look for it in the next week after this coming week.... Again, thank you for the kind words. It does matter....
@@JerryH-z3b We are currently getting prepared to start a 5 day, 4 night adventure ride in the Northern part of Thailand from Chiang Mai to the Golden Triangle up by Chiang Rai and then back down South along the mighty Mekong River and back to Chiang Mai. This is Thursday evening here and we leave at 8:00 on Monday. I'm editing the entro video to that adventure now, should have it up by Saturday our time. Then it will be a couple weeks before the next video hits as we will be on the ride. Should be another 5 videos from the ride to go with this entry video. There will be some very interesting sights that we see and of course we'll try to be entertaining also.... Thank you for the kind words and enjoy the upcoming videos....
@@richardduke9788 The cameras don't really show just how amazing the scenery is here in Thailand so I have to stop occasionally just to see what an amazing spectacle this country has to offer us....
@@TeamDNFracing I started doing a lot of the 60 second " Shorts " , some do ok , and some of them people just scroll on by . But the " Shorts " is where I have been getting subscribers .
That looks like so much fun! Right now it's raining here in southwestern ontario. I want to visit Thailand so bad. I'm off to get groceries. I was going to take my pickup but you inspired me to take my honda 125 trail. 😊
That is my everyday driver. I go all over on it, but it will be doing a different chore for the next two months and that is to get it set up for the Thai Enduro at Lampang. Once it is completely set up, then the rides will start to get me used to what it will be able to do and what it won't be able to do so I can go to the Enduro with confidence.
@@TheExistentialVegan The enduro is in Lampang, Thailand and is October 6. Lampang is about 100 Kilometers South of where I live and I rode in it last year on my Yamaha WR 155R. The tight terrain made it difficult for me to turn the way to heavy Yamaha without tipping over so I got overheated and it zapped my strength lifting that almost 300 pound bike up. I believe the much lighter and shorter Honda CT will be a better bike for that terrain and me. It will be interesting anyway and I'll be doing several videos on setting up the bike and then of course, the enduro itself.....
have you looked at the Shinko SR 241 i love mine they work good on wet dry and good in mud and sand. the only trouble is they don't seem to last but about 2500 miles on road.
My first thought on your question is "Why would I want a set of Shinko SR 241 tires to go ride in a Thai Enduro"? Not to be sarcastic, but those tires are very similar to the IRC and Vee-Rubber tires we can get here in Thailand and we run the Vee-Rubber tires on our bikes now for everyday use. They work very well on most every surface except, rocky, tree roots and rutted trails. We need a full on knobby tire and that is what the Camel Moto Cross tire is. We've done extensive tire testing the past four years on our Honda CT's and if all you are going to ride is pavement, then the stock IRC tire that comes with the bike is as good as any tire out there. If you want to ride pavement and off road, we have found the Vee-Rubber tires work the best on all conditions and will last longer than the IRC with the same tread pattern which is the same as the Shinko tires pattern. Thanks for the comment, but I need a tire that works extremely good Offroad, and the Camel Motocross knobby tire does that very well. I set the pressure at 10 PSI for competition with these and it flexes and bites exactly the way I need it to. The Shinko, just won't bite like a full knobby tire does.....
Have not been able to get those here in Thailand and I believe the SR 241 is similar to the Vee-Rubber tires that we run on the CT's as our daily tires. For this enduro, we definitely need a good knobby tire front and rear for it. Very pleased with how the Camel MX has performed so far....
Another very enjoyable video. I watched it twice.. once when it was raining outside, and once when it was clear.. ..
Don't tell me you just had to know what it was like when it was raining so you watched it while it was raining... Oh Vaughn, you crack me up....
@@TeamDNFracing It's true.. LOL..
@@Vintage_Garage keep up your fantastic spirit my friend....
hi Eddie great to see you back on the trails. bike looks and sounds awesome

Glad to see that the roadside shops in Thailand , have my 3 favorite things , Pepsi , mangoes 🥭 , and friendly people !

@@TeamDNFracing Something like that might make a good 60 second " Short " .
@@richardduke9788 I've done a couple short videos of some of Thailands lovely ladies. Those really didn't go over like I thought they would....
@@TeamDNFracing My Shorts are green corn🌽, watermelon 🍉 , pumpkin 🎃 , and racoon traps .

Still can't get these here in England, almost breaks my heart. Anyway, happy riding and adventures man.

Good morning 🌄! On the way to the hot garden . I will check this out when I come back to the AC 😊 !
Thanks Richard, every view helps my channel.... Greatly appreciate it.....
I definitely understand about the views ! My little channel isn't as entertaining as yours , but it is slowly coming along 😅.

May I ask when and where the Enduro is taking place? I've always wondered how the 125 would do in an Enduro. Thanks. 😊
