Monsoonal transition ride to Samoeng

[KTMphil]

With the sun now headed way south, the wind is now coming from the NE in north Thailand , so it looks like the monsoonal transition is well under way. A quick ride out to Samoeng with Glenn from Singapore on the blue KTM 990s's.

Beautiful clear day!




LUFC, Matt & Justin trucked the bikes to Samoeng to do some exploring, below LUFC killing some time on the 990s and testing the rev limiter

Hopefully that is the end of the rain from the SW, just the chance of a depression rolling in from the east now.

Its looking beautiful up there now Phil, good visibility, fresh air and only two more weeks till I get there to enjoy it as well

Not having ridden a road bike except for a scooter for 15 years I was surprised how fast it felt when accelerating.

The rev limiter, erm yes, revs quite fast for a big bike, sorry about that.

Those bikes look great together out there.
