So yeah, it's been a shit year for me. Annus horribilis as they say in latin, with emphasis on the "anus"... Got separated with the mother of my son last Spring. Then I got laid off my job of 17 years last month to top it off. Now that I have unexpected time off and a few bucks from the severance agreement, I decided to make a bold move and sign up for a hell of a trip. Who better than our resident TT racer and all around nice guy to guide me through a life changing experience ? So I'll be leaving for Thaïland next month for a week of riding on and off road around Chiang Mai and then taking a week by myself to explore the depths of Bangkok and do some scuba diving. I'll certainly report back here with some pictures when I'm done. I'll even send a pic of Brandon with a ladyboy to your inbox upon request
nice, enjoy, took 7 months off this year India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Mexico Thailand is cool and twisty roads up north
Well... Those are definitely some of the worst things that could happen. Glad you're finding a way to keep your head up. Enjoy!! Sent from my smatrfone
Have a great trip and report back. Particularly interested in your Thai scuba adventures. We are thinking about crossing that off the scuba bucket list next year.
Leaving on November 14th for a long-ass 34 hour transit arriving in Chiang Mai 2 days later on the 16th.
You will have an epic time. I spent a couple of days and I even made it out alive!! Ha. Beautiful place, great food, just stay away from the Bangkok boys! Highly recommend the "soapy" bath houses, some of you will know...
Damn, sorry to hear of the troubles. Been there done that. Motorcycles heal the soul though and I bet that would be one hell of a trip. I said fuck it and took off on a trip a few years ago, about a month after loosing my mom then breaking up with girl I was dating and dealing with crazy fucking customers at the shop. Closed the doors, got on the bike and just left. Probably kept me from going insane, or at least limited it some... Have a blast on your trip. Helmet time is good for us.
