Yeh I'll be at Bira.

Would be nice if I could get a bracket or helmet fixture for my GoPro.

Please attached pic.

I left the tank fixture on my last er6 so I'm up the creek without a paddle so to speak :(

Keep those good times rolling.

GoPro makes all sorts of helmet mounts. I've got quite a few extra adhesive mounts, both flat and curved. Trade ya for a beer ;)

Woohoo! Gixxer's got an FI problem, probably from sitting too long with gasohol. Will have to get it sorted by a pro. ER6 is backup. Hope to see you there! Posted Image

Is it far from Pattaya?
Will I be OK to ride there and back in my leathers with a back pack do you think?

Or just arrive at Bira at about 330 perhaps?

Arhhhhhhh.

FI hopelessly clogged from sitting around too long with gasohol in the lines :(

Just dropped the Gixxer with Khun Boy for a complete tune up and overhaul. Should be ready in a week or two.

Ride On!

For anyone contemplating riding to KK and doing a track day, it would perhaps be a good idea to stay the night, rather than ride back to Bangers or Pattaya all knackered. Plenty of cheap resorts in and around the National Part, only minutes from the track. I think I'll trailer a bike out Saturday morning and spend Saturday night near the track so as to get two days in. See you there! :)

We've been staying in Cha-am lately.

I got the front forks back from DIrtShop yesterday, had them re-valved as Gary Johnson recommended.  I'm 50/50 for this weekend but was thinking about heading down tomorrow for a few laps.

Was good to see ya out on the new kawi for a few laps.  I think I'll be back down to BIRA on Friday with my ER6n.  Graham has been setting some really quick laps lately on his ER6 and I want to see if I can beat his time.  He set a 1:11.2 on Monday, so I'm looking and attempting the first 1:10 on the ER6.  Haven't been to BIRA with the ER6 since July, so it'll take a few laps to get back in the grove...lol
