    I've done the ride from Chiang Mai to Pai. Some bikers see it as a challenge due to the hundreds of bends on the mountain road.
    Personally, after a while, I started to find it quite boring and frustrating with all the stopping and starting....great scenery though.

    GoPro makes all the trick gear to mount on a Moto. Get the Voice activated remote so you can take pics and vids on command.

    And put the whole pic of your Kawi in the post.

    Gotta say, one thing I didn't account for in all this motorbike-for-the-kids stuff was the cost of the kit: helmet, pads, boots etc.

    That shit's expensive! Looks like to kit them both out is going to end up costing more than the actual bike did.

    It's a Kawasaki KSR 110.

    Was initially going to get a KLX (also 110cc) which is the full-on version but they're still just a little bit too short for it so this one fits better.

    Also my thinking was they can't do themselves too much of a mischief with only 110cc...

    And then I jumped on it and it was doing over 100km/h with ease so oops!

    And cheers, me too... that's why these little fockers get spoiled...sometimes.

    But they're actually pretty great kids and quite proud of them and their manners. Also they can get fecked if they think they're getting any other presents this year!

    Those ready made trails you want, up the hills. For me the hardest part was coming back down near Pattaya, especially after falling off and passing out.

    I shouldn't have attempted it being hungover though

    The amount of kit they make you put on it gets well hot inside.

    A good investment are the water bottles which fit on like a backpack and have a hose so you can constantly drink.

    ^ it doesn't take much.

    A pebble probably hit the jaw of his helmet.
