In Thailand heading to a beautiful island,Koh Samui.
Wokeup as early as 0530hrs.Shower,got myself ready,and packed all the stuff to be loaded to the pig once again.By 0630hrs,which is actually 0530hrs Thai time,the noise od the BRP could easily woke up the entire hotel residence..
It was dark....however,i still need to leave early to catch the early Ferry to the Island..I have to ride for about 400-450km to reach the ferry terminal.
Along the way,i stopped for photo on the sunrise.notice my rear number plate has gone missing...it dropped but i managed to get it back and tied it to my camping gear

Qui sono in Thailandia mentre viaggio verso Koh Samui, un'isola stupenda.
Mi sono alzato alle 5.30 quella mattina. Doccia, vestizione e impacchattamento delle robe da caricare sul porco. Alle 630 (in realtà 530 per l'ora thailandese) il rombo del porco svegliava tutto l'albergo :-)
Era ancora buio, tuttavia dovevo partire presto per prendere il traghetto per l'isola che era distante ancora 400-450 km.
Lungo la strada mi sono fermato per fotografate il sorgere del sole. Dalle foto potete vedere che ho perso la targa. Si è staccata ma l'ho recuperata e fissata all'attrezatura da campeggio.
Send more AJ, I'll be glad to translate ;) ;)
hey man....thanks....i skipped most of it as i thought the google translation would definately be a nightmare...anyways...it would be like a grandfather stories don't you think?I'm not sure if anyone would be keen to read....
:welc:
Yeah! Nice bike! 8)

We are working on a new XR screesaver...if you have (and if you WANT) others cools pics post it!
Ben arrivato!

Ciao e complimenti per la moto.
Hi Aj and welcome on XR-Italia, as you can see is a most likely a great family than a motorcycle forum. You'll find always some help whenever you need it. We are glad to have you as new user, since i know, as our webmaster, you're really a maniac, an xrmaniac! :respekt:
In order to let know to our users who you are, here i post a few pics of the bikes you owned before, a couple of them are already in our picture gallery named "the most beautiful xr found in internet". ;)
Traduzione: ciao aj e benvenuto su xr italia, come puoi vedere somiglia più a una grande famiglia che non ad un forum motociclistico. troverai sempre qualcuno disposto ad aiutarti nel momento del bisogno. siamo felici di averti come utente perche sappiamo, come il WM, che se un fanatico di xR. Per far comprendere agli altri utenti chi sia, posto alcune immagini delle tue prcedenti moto, un paio delle quali si trovano già tra "le più belle xr trovate nel web" ;)
Fatevi gli occhi:

As Belze said in his earlier post, we are a big family here at XR-italia. We discuss about XRs' mechanics, but we also like to know each other and to share our experiences while riding.
The WM has organised a meeting every year,with enduro and SM tracks to allow this community to join together and have fun. In a few weeks there'll be the 9th edition. Other smaller meeting are organised during the year on other user's initiative in other areas of Italy, as well as dinners or pizza meeting. In addition, Mario organise a trip to Africa twice a year.
You can find reports of all these events in the report section of the forum. I'd say that your raid across 3 countries will be a success and people will enjoy reading about it :)

ok i will try...but don't expect and epic story...as my composition is bad... :-[
Ok...i back track just alittle....during the night ride covering the 900km.Doing Malaysia's North South Highway at night can be very dangerous...as the highways have no street lights and complete darkness only when you bypass some towns or petrol stations...not to mention the fogs that usually takes place around 3am onwards...It could be as deadly as during my ride,i have came across about at least 4 overturned trucks and lorries maybe due to sleepiness or visual.
The fairing did an outstanding job.....the bike don't shake at all...i dun feel the turbulance of the NSH...the wind protection i got from the fairing was well worth it...the lower mudguard too plays a good role...i would rate the fairing 9/10 for touring...the lighting needs some work however...the low beam was very bright...except it was a little to short as my fairing is alttle high...that can be adjusted...the highbeam giving a blue rays of light...further forward but too weak...so i just stick with the orange low beam.
Ok ... i indietro traccia alittle .... solo durante la notte di marcia per il 900km.Doing Malesia del Nord Sud autostrada di notte può essere molto pericoloso ... come le strade non hanno le luci di strada e il buio completo solo quando si bypassare alcuni città o dei distributori di benzina ... per non parlare delle nebbie che solitamente si svolge nei pressi di 3 in poi ... E come potrebbe essere mortale come durante la mia corsa, ho trovato su almeno 4 camion e camion rovesciato forse a causa di sonnolenza o visivo .
Il cupolino ha fatto un eccellente lavoro ..... la moto non si agita a tutti ... i dun sentire la turbulance del NSH ... il vento tutela i got dalla carenatura è stato ben valsa la pena ... il più basso parafango troppo svolge un buon ruolo ... vorrei votare la carenatura 9 / 10 per il turismo ... l'illuminazione deve tuttavia un po 'di lavoro ... il basso del fascio luminoso è stato molto ... ad eccezione del fatto che è stato un po' a breve il mio carenatura alttle è alta ... che può essere regolata ... il highbeam dare un blu raggi di luce ... avanti, ma in modo troppo debole ... i just stick con il colore arancione anabbagliante

(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride012-1.jpg)
so after about 600kms of riding with stopping just for refueling,the sun finally pops out to give the body a little twitch of energy..
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride015.jpg)
I am alittle sleepy...but as you know that you're getting nearer,you just won't wanna stop.
now I have another 150 odd km to go.
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride027.jpg)
And at 0950hrs,i've at the checkpoint and custom of Sadao border,Thailand.so it's 9hrs,and 20mins of riding.from night to day.
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride023.jpg)
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride030.jpg)
So after the clearance,its close to noon.Now to ride to Hatyai,Thailand...for a hotel.
Another 80km ride
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride034.jpg)
Cheap and good hotel with safe parking lots for the bike.
500baht per night..
Air-con,cableTV,hot shower with bath tub,and very much cosy.
Took my shower,called for a "Thai massage"...
And slept like a pig through the afternoon....
Ok,let's continue from where i left off...
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/DSC01869.jpg)
on board the 1hr 45mins ferry ride...a cool one...
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride050-2.jpg)
The sight of paradise is just a min away....and i could smell it as the ferry is nearing the dock
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride071-1.jpg)
Headed down to the loading bay,and took my bike and rode it off the ferry to the Island port.
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride073-2.jpg)
Without delaying,i plan my route and headed to Lamai Beach,one of the popular area in KohSamui.
About 20km from the ferry port,i reached the New Leaf resort which considering a very good deal of 700baht per night.
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride078-1.jpg)
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride074-1.jpg)
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride081-1.jpg)
Well,you got cable,aircon,hot shower,and a pool...what more can you ask for that little much of a 700baht...except for a thai girl massaging you...
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride075-1.jpg)
Rode to a nearby cafe near the cliff with amazing view..
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride082-1.jpg)
the restaurant and the dining area.
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride085-1.jpg)

(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride089-1.jpg)
And just in a distance...
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride086-1.jpg)
After taken my lunch,I explored alittle to the northern part of the island.
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride094.jpg)(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride095.jpg)
If you notice,i have been riding without my rear no. plate just before i reached Sadao border,Thailand...it was hanging with 1 screw so i have to removed them and now that i have found myself in a bikeshop,i took the oppurtunity to fix the plate,and The chap made an extra reflective yellow linings at the edge of the plate.
And it's nicely done with very little spend..very very littlemount it back

somehow..i ended up here.
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride129.jpg)
The night was young...but after a tiring day,i settled back to my resort and upload some photos and having instant noodles before sleep.
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride169.jpg)
can't recall the time i woke up the next day,but it's in time to catch the morning sunrise

(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride139-1.jpg)
I went out for breakfast after shower,and did alittle scouting at the Southern part of the Island..
Everythg is fresh to me...with the aid of the Island Map,whatever ahead is still unpredictable...
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride154-1.jpg)
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride175-1.jpg)
From the fisherman beach,i rode to some route that's not even visible on the Island map...as some of this roads are not even fit to call it,road...
The road i was taking,leading to endless route...that soon turn into dirt-road...and somehow,i felt that i am travelling upwards and to a higher altitude...
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride176-1.jpg)
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/soloride178-1.jpg)
It just don't end there...the hills got even trickier after this point and more steep and singlepath that i don't have the guts or the right mind to snap anymore photos...
Somehow...it all pays out...
The results,is far fulfilling
