A day in the life in the North

The gap between the tongue and tail of my truck is about 3.5 feet max.

More than enough for Somchai The Knucklehead to maneu... manu... wedge himself into.

Stick with things you know, like cruising around high schools.

Prolly best to quit while you're behind with that route to be honest mate.

*drools*

That looks like a proper set of adjustable coilovers. If you were back in Cali you could fly through the desert on those.

Yeah. They are good units. I have been following their development for a year or so. They had 2 guys on CFmotos win 1 and 2 in 250mile desert race with the same shock set up. The owner and I have become pretty good friends. While I doubt I would enter an official race I do look forward to getting them set up and ride through the mountain trails here. I will also be swapping out the current beadlock wheels back to the ZForce Beadlocks. The compression ring is a bit wider providing better protection from rocks and shit.

So Eddie. How many trailers do you have? How many times have you trailered anything here? Just because you watch videos doesn't mean that every person around here will do a 90 in-between my truck and trailer. Stick with things you know.

Apparently you missed me because you seem to be following me all over the board.

Just sayin.

[Edmond]

doesn't mean that every person

One person.

Or a family of 7 on one Fino here.

Sure looks that way.

Stop derailing his great thread.

My wing-wang is bigger than yours.
.....and my Dad can beat up your Dad.



So there.

[Edmond]

Apparently you missed me

I miss almost all posters when they go MIA, given that we're all such a friendly group of buddies with interesting different lives.

Obese Brummie bus drivers. Obese Seattle basement dwellers. Leo swilling 7-11 sanwit munching moderators. LSD Dave and of course the bosses of bosses, Grandma Nev. Who wouldn't be missed (no need to answer that )

[Edmond]

And a bloke that posts scat photos across numerous Thai forums while pretending to live as Confucius in rural Sukhothai, from his home in Portland.

[armstrong]

I'm also not a bus driver.

^ Any good with trailers?

No, I normally accidentally give the ending away.

Thought I would add some pics. Last week or so has been busy as always. Set up my ATV to drive down to Tak and connect with my buddy who rides a KTM dirt bike as he has been to the peak of the tallest mountain in Tak with other riders and I wanted to go on my ATV. I have far more videos than pics but too much work to upload to YT but it was a work out and a helluva a ride. It took nearly an hour to get to the top from the base while covering numerous types of terrains from open trenches and wash outs, big boulders, mud and tight trails along sheer cliffs and at the end torrential rain. One thing is that if you go up, you gotta come down and trekking down isn't much easier for various reasons





About half way up the mountain.





At the peak. 5300 ft up. Temp was about 18c with a nice breeze. Outstanding view.

[hallelujah]

Cracking pictures them, Stumpy.

The scenery instantly took me back to this trip I did a few years ago.

Not a million miles from where you are, obviously.

After the ride came back and did a service inspection as I beat my ATV up pretty good. All looked good



The clutch looked great as did the belt. I haven't installed the new shocks yet.



After returning, I received some other parts so I am swapping out the factory CF1000 wheels.





The larger Z Force wheels add a wider wheel and I switched to 29" tires for more ground clearance as well. The beadlock ring is much wider to protect the wheel and tire from rocks and punctures. Moonsoon season is coming and more rides to the mountains are planned.

The ATV hobby aside, I still find time to enjoy the relaxing things....

Perfect lunch compliments of my lovely wife



And my dogs sure love my lawn after I mow it. Annie seems to run right out and relax. I too love the smell of fresh cut grass.
