He's back in Perth now but if I can catch him on skype I'll get the low down and pass it on.

Hat off to the bloke. He did the "three P's" on a Wave.
Pattaya-Phnom Phen-Perth. Or is that the 4 P's?

4 P,s not as good as the 3 W,s....

Wip it in, Wip it out, Wipe it....

No mate, due to them being taken on a fecking telephone..

I know matey...only kidding still well cool, especially video 0009 3gp...gotta love those 2 vehicles the lorry over taking the pick up with a stunt ramp on the rear of it...your a pussy for not taking the stunt and jumping the lorry. However, kudo's for going up the middle of them...you know how when they turn their heads the rest of them follows..

It's just, if like me (rarely I must add) I am subjected to a bit of Thai soap operas. everytime the gits have a drink, fag or weapon the majority of the screen is pixelated out...

it ain't like it's making any effect on the murder, death, suicide rate....

The Wave has been sounding a little off colour since. A trip to the market with my mrs was the straw that broke the camel's back...I blame the women..600km's alone..pas de problem..10 km's with the wife on the back..two new sprockets and a new chain...

CAPTION.
Blue shirt..."What the fuck are we going to tell that fat falang. His bike has gone tits up, and all these bits have fell off?"
Red shirt..."Tell him we only meant to blow the tyre up".

Took the Wave to the hardware shop for some paint today..

So very very fucking versatile..

When I was young (1968), I bought a Honda 50cc for $50 from a guy who had ridden it from Las Vegas Nevada to Sacramento California, almost 930 km through the desert and the hot Central Valley. Top speed of about 42 kph! That had to be a hot, hard trip!

Take it back now. Public transport was murder on Saturday. Train an hour late, not just standing room only but lean over into Thai matey's bits every 10 secs to let hawkers by. Mini bus still 60 baht but they cram 18 people into the back, had a fat twat sitting on my lap for the journey that took nearly 2 hours in each direction, Surin-Chong Chom-Surin. Murder it was; still feel sick at the moment thinking about it.

The Wave is the way to go!

^ I'd rather walk than go through that..Wave riding has it's faults but it's a damn sight more comfortable (apart from the fact you have to keep your eyes open for ages) and quicker than public transport..which is for gap year students 'going native'..

Great border crossin though, eh Pompey?
