<RIDE> 12D/11N Ride To Northern Thailand 5-16th Jan 2013

[happy125]

Balancing done? Tire pressure?

 

I think the tyre is a little more knobbly hence the vibration.

Need to 'season' it more.

Any last meetup?

4 DAYS to go

 

Any last meetup?

 

No lah...

 

Just remember to bring things u need, also important things. The rest can buy along the way.

 

Travel light, return heavy.

[mambo914]

U want to meet me??...ha..ha.. I'm taking 2 days leave before our trip, want to settle house matter & packing for the trip.

[Simon Soh]

Btw..... Happy New Year....!

Wah... difficult to travel light leh. Considering the tools & important spare parts + personal clothing, bike heavy oredi.

Guys may I make some suggestions?

General hand tools (spanner, screwdrivers,allen keys, etc.....), maybe 1 or 2 riders to bring as these tools are shareable.

1 rider to bring tyre-pucture tool sets (worm, needlehead & holescrew).

I bring tyre-pump.

Whiles your motor part (bulbs,chain-clip,clutchcable & lever..etc), we have to bring our own la, since individual motorparts are of different make & model.

Anyone using Scotoiler? Volunteer to bring 1 full bottle??

Coolant?? 1 litre bottle should be enuf...anyone volunteer??

Any suggestion & idea are most welcome...

S750WP,

 

no need to bring so many tools n spanner lah..... Very heavy....

 

We only travel during the day, if need we can always stop by any bike shop to have it done. do whatever adjustment here. The rest is all about riding n enjoyment.

[Simon Soh]

Tire patch kit n foot pump r my SOP for any ride, no more other tools than I need to use it to strip my bike apart.

 

For other make, bring only the tool to replace critical parts u anticipated it could fail u.

[Simon Soh]

What coolant you guys prefer?

 

I prefer normal coolant, mixed with distill water.

Great response from u guys. Thanks.

 

Simon, I hv the electric tyre-pump using cig-charger, it save u from bringing ur foot-pump bro.

 

I believe majority of us are using Maxima Ice-Coolant (Blue) right? Anyone bringing?

 

EO I believe everyone using their own brand, so I'm bringing just a small bottle of Hosen (Platinum)for own use

 

I'll bring plenty of Cable-ties & small bottle of Scotoiler.

Ok bro, since u bringing alot of tools, I will not bring any tools at all but I will share some load with u. I hv a mega-tube underneath my pannier could easily fit those basic tools.

 

Since we are travelling in small group, its easy for use share tools & so and some load.

[none]

Ride more, worry less!

No need to worry about lubricants and fiulds (EO, coolant, distilled water, gear oil, DOT4 etc), all these can get in both countries.

Quality might not be as good as what you are using now, but good enough to get you back if you really need them.

I need the ratchet and socket if my alternator or rectifier kaput and I need to change on the spot.

[S750WP]

I prefer normal coolant, mixed with distill water.

 

I am using redline water wetter, normal distilled water will suffice for me. Anyway I replaced all my coolant hose 2 months ago so I think I am not so worried.
