  • Heading into the second half of my loop in Northwest Thailand, I encounter challenging road conditions for the Yamaha 155 scooter, and well as gorgeous buddhist temples, and some delicious street food in Chiang Dao.

    In the walking street market, you walked past on of my favorite Thai treats. They're rice cakes smothered in butter and grilled until a nice golden brown. I use to eat them by the dozen. Can't wait for the cobra farm.

    I'd say that 155 has done pretty well considering the load and types of roads/trails you've been on. Once again it's been another very interesting video, looking forward to more. Ride safe.

    The way you were riding that thing on the road and then having issues made me think of the Michael Winslow's skit talking about a rental truck. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Looks like your scooter needs new gas shock at the rear. Bad noise.

      great video. Im a Harley rider in the US but a scooter rider here in Vietnam where Im living now. Loved your ride through the mountains! Check engine light could have been fuel related. Fuel quality in Asia can be sketchy in some places.

    Hey Joe, another great video! I've been really enjoying watching these adventures throughout Thailand! I'm glad your scooter didn't leave you stranded in the middle of the mountains and the scenery and terrain looks absolutely stunning and beautiful! Also that street food market looked dangerously good ... LOL! Thanks for sharing, as always and stay safe over there brother - I'm also glad to see it looks like you're feeling much better now too! 🏍🏍🏍

    I think you just overworked that little scooter climbing those hills.
    Just before the engine light comment, I was thinking that thing is rattling itself apart.
    I sent you an email a few videos back about the 10 foot python attack of a guy on a scooter. Did you get it? I'm not familiar with Proton email but it looks like something I should look into for added privacy.

    • @dirtymotorcyclevagabond
      @dirtymotorcyclevagabond  ปีที่แล้ว

      A Suzuki Drz 400 or something similar would be great. There are a lot of great paved roads in the country. A true dirt bike would get uncomfortable after awhile

    Thailand? What about elephants and tigers? don’t those types of animals live near there ??
    have you eaten a durian yet. I understand they won’t even let you bring one into a hotel if you are staying there.
    can’t you say what you want to your phone and it will play it back in the language of the people you’re Talking to. I have done that with Spanish and Chinese, and apparently it works well enough.

    • @dirtymotorcyclevagabond
      @dirtymotorcyclevagabond  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh yeah they have those lol. As well as cobras and pythons, I'll cover those in the coming video 😎 I've eaten lots of durians, but unfortunately they're out of season. Delicious once you get past the smell. It's a hefty fine for bringing them into the hotels for sure! Mangos are in apparently.
