Atta boy Eddie, don’t let the old man creep in. I’m 66 and going to play in the Thailand Open Pickleball tournament in a few weeks. Loving living in Thailand.
Yea, I'm trying to not let the old man creep in, but it is getting harder to pick that heavy Yamaha up each time I tip over. Next video is of our Chiang Rai Enduro... Talk about a tough one....
Did you laugh when I fell and all that laughter came on. I had to do that because my choice of words when that happened would not be appropriate for the younger audience. I can't believe I still knew some of those cuss words. Thought for sure I'd forgotten them long ago. They just came back to me at that moment.....🤕🥺😎
@@TeamDNFracing I wasn't laughing at that point in video as I had already fallen three times before you fell. My first fall was at the wagon wheel.. I cussed too on each one of my falls.. "oh Shi.." How can I buy you a used Gen 1 CT for your next project, so you can keep El Diablo as is?
Sadly though Vaughn, it will still be an under powered bike from one of the greatest motorcycle makers of all time. It sucks that they have to go to the lengths that they do just to meet emissions standards from countries that don't care about the emissions.....
@@TeamDNFracing I hear you... since you started making videos about the Hard Enduro, I have been watching other videos about Hard Enduros all over the world.. pretty amazing stuff. I had seen the Impossible Hill Climb videos, but hadn't even known about the Hard Enduros.. those guys are nuts.. LOL We are finally getting a break from winter this week, after a period of near freezing nights, and 50 degree days..
@@Vintage_Garage Yea, went for a big bike ride on Wednesday, the temp. was down low enough, I almost had to put on a shirt on.... 😁😁 Don't worry Vaughn, there are more CT videos yet to edit.....
@@TeamDNFracing I subscribe to perhaps 100 TH-cam channels about Honda CTs, Monkeys, and Cubs, and the number of new videos each week is now below 5 on average. I am guilty of the same thing as those 100 other guys. I am out of ideas for new videos. I used to make one or two videos a week, now I have trouble making one or two a month. I have installed everything that interests me, and ridding to every spot near me. I usually just go back and watch some videos from a couple of years ago.. they are sill valuable.
This was not classified as a hard enduro to the Thai standards, I threw that monicker on it because of what I had seen from a spy I had in Lampang. Turned out to be a hard one for me, but not so much to most of the Thai riders..... I think I'm just getting to old to do this.... But I still rode in one this past weekend, it didn't go any better but will be a good two episode video....
Flew into Bangkok, was going to come say hi in a week or so and show you pics of the 300cc Monkey I'm gonna ship to Thailand. But, my thai wife had an ultrasound here in bangkok and she has a tumor she needs taken out. :(
I just wasn't prepared for that heat and it showed. With the disaster on Saturday, my mind was not in the game at all. I purposely put a little extra air in my tires during prep a few days before the race. Problem was, I forgot to lower it down to where I wanted for the race and the bike did a lot of skating on the sandy roads. It was either slow way down or risk another crash. I finally just stopped and lowered the air in the tires, but I was not thinking straight and could have changed the battery in my GoPro, but just didn't think about it. My water hydration bag was full of warm water and was doing me no good. I just wasn't ready for that type of a ride. My bad....
@@TeamDNFracing Will you do a new atemp next year? If I recall correctly they where some hunter cub bikes in the line up right? How did it go for them? By the way, have you seen the Yamaha pg-1, Yamahas equlivent to the Honda hunter cub?
@@thebikegeekandmore2448 I've already ridden in an Enduro this year also. That video is next on my list to edit out. As for the PG-1, I have not gotten a chance to look at it closely yet, but they are in the Yamaha showrooms. It's a very nice looking bike, just don't know much about it yet..... Will be interesting to know what the hop-up guys can do with it....

I watched it twice and fell about six times each time.. way beyond my skill level, and an enjoying video. Looking forward to the next one.

That was an epic test Eddie well done👍👏
I actually cut out some of the stuff that made me look really bad. Had to throw some of it back in just so I'd have enough content....😁😁
Respect!💪💪Greetings from Chiang Rai
I guess I didn't learn from the Lampang Enduro, I loaded up and went to the Chiang Rai enduro and had similar results.... Crashes did me in.....
Well Done Eddie ❤
I have to thank all of my camera men on this one. They got all the footage for me....
Honda USA just announced that the 2024 CT125 here will be yellow..

I guess that is why they call it a " Hard " Enduro !

Get the wife taken care of, the bikes can always wait.....

Eddie, it didn’t go according plan because you cheated on the Diablo🤣😂☺️
You know I thought about that and if I had of just asked El' Diablo first, I think it might have been a different ball game.....🤔🤔🤔😎😎
