Bumped into 2 English guys on holiday who were inquiring about getting through to Doi Suthep from the Samoeng viewpoint, we told them not a good idea



Alex & Som at the viewpoint



Rainy season clear air = amazing vizability





Suzuki DRZ 400 sm with an Athena 440 big bore kit in, made quite a difference



Alex's new Kawasaki KLX 250, beautiful day for riding



At the junction of R 1269 & R 1096 at the western end of the Samoeng loop (Som & Alex)




Beautiful views

Hows the 440 bedding in with the new head ?? Temps now ??

Its not an athena kit BTW.. Those are near double that cost.

Sounds like a bargain on the KLX.. Still a trooper of a machine for local support and trailing.

Samoeng loop today & no overheating problems. Lek fitted mine so he can probably fit one more pretty quickly now.
