Monsoon Ride

Wheather is a little bit challenging between November to January but hardcore bikers don't gave it a damn!!!! PCB had made not one but two trips under this wheather. One trip went off to the vist Comunist Site in Betogn Thailand and aanother trip made further up to Pattani.





 
Look at them braving the wild monsoon on Penang - Alor Setar - Kuala Nerang - Padang Sanai - Durian Burung - Baling - Rantau Panjang - Sungai Golok - Tak Bai - Narratiwat - Patani - Hat Yai - Danok - Penang..
The challenge today is not of the road condition but the wheather . They braved through heavy rain and light tropical thunderstorm nonsuch happy kids endured the road under constructions, sort of additional challenge we'd never anticipated. Wet wet wet...thanks to the invention of rain gear! The road is too very slippery. Tell you pals, it is indeed very important to have safe and confortable riding gear, waterproofs. Motorbike too, must and must in good condition for round trip. Before riding, invest a little on brake pad, cable and hose, do adjustment and what not; including re-set of the suspension. Touring will definitely adding loads from a place to another . That will paid off by comfort at road handling under misery wheather.


Phew.. shed off out riding suit and hang it over letting the rain water drip off. They had finally reached the ultimate destinaton - Pattani Darussalam. Refeshed!
