25-10-19 Chiang Mai Following The Ping River North Of Town

[Captain_Slash]

Distance 69 km

Heavy rain in town this morning but once out of town no sign that it had ever rained



Its a pleasant lazy pace following the Ping



A couple of unpaved tracks were rode





This was an unmapped one that linked up two paved roads

Crossing over the Ping to ride south and back home











Halibut and chips at Gecko Garden 159 Baht

Nice little warm up. What happened to the KLX?

 

[Captain_Slash]

Blimey Tim you are a bit out of touch.
The KLX was sold as soon as I got here last october and replaced with the Wave straightaway.
All of last years ride reports were on the Wave

 

[Gnasher328]

Why did you get rid of the KLX? I know in the real world locals on scooters often do better on tricky trails than Farangs on big bikes.

It was time for it to go and as there was nothing in particular that I fancied I decided to get the Wave as they go anywhere. The only mod I made was putting the YSS rear gas shocks with preload and rebound damping plus I also had the YSS front fork upgrade kit installed too.
Its a totally different bike with that fitted

Just catching up with your bike news too Colin. So back to the almighty Wave, where do you get the front upgrade kit from.

 

[Captain_Slash]

Hello Gary, good to hear from you.

I went to CMS here in Chiang Mai as they are the suspension experts and the local agents for YSS, the front fork upgrade kit cost me 3700 Baht but well worth it as it now has suspension that doesnt bottom out.
