Hi all! Just a quick update. Apologies to everyone who has emailed, I’ve had email problems but will reply ASAP.
After leaving the Cambodia border & a good night’s kip I headed towards Chonburi & Pattaya.
Another great days riding was followed by a proper drunken night out eating loads of fish, drinking with two very sexy young Thai girls in The Blue Sky bar home to one of the best covers bands I’ve ever seen, doing everything from George Michael to Rammstein! Careless Whisper one minute to Ich Will the next! ‘kin brilliant.
Woke up the next morning in The Nag’s Head (no sign of Dave the landlord) with a shocker of a hangover to find my jeans covered in girls names written in biro. Don’t ask why as I don’t recall.
Had a lie in then headed off to meet Peter Coates at the Triumph factory. It’s huge! Spent a couple of hours being shown around by Peter before meeting the QC team who were keen to check out what 16,000 kms on some of the worst (and best roads) between London and Bangkok does to the new Tiger. Thanks to Peter, Andrea and Dave Lilley for organising the visit. Genuine thrill to see it all close up …. Oh, Mr. Bloor, if you are reading this, if you ever have any jobs going down here I’m up for it! 🙂 I’ll send you my CV as soon as I get back.
Currently sitting on the beach In Rayong eating fish, crab and fried rice after another sun drenched ride south. Did I mention I don’t want to go home.
Songs of the last two days…
Ich Will by Rammstein
Dirty Love by Thunder
