Kawasaki ER6-n 2012
There's only one other bike I considered getting besides the Yamaha SR, the Kawasaki ER6-n 650.
The big bike market in Thailand is being crippled by massive taxes and import duties, that's why there are so many unregistered big bikes in Thailand. The ER6n, along with it's bigger brother the Versys, are 2 exceptions because they're assembled in Thailand and come with a very reasonable price tag. This, and the fact that they're both excellent bikes for both beginners and veterans, are the roots cause for its success amongst Thais and expatriates in Thailand.
I love my SR, but there are times when I look at the ER6-n and dream....
Here are some pictures of the new version 2012. The frame and the swing arm are gorgeous in my opinion.
And here is a short review with video: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/New-bikes/2011/October/oct2111-fully-updated-kawasaki-er-6n-sets-new-standard/

Mammuth Trike
Americans need everything bigger, including bikes...or trikes in this case. This is truly a monster of a trike with over 1000hp, supercharged.
Now the only question is: What do I have to do to ride it!?

Thai Flood
I don't have much time to post anything these days. I spent the last 3 days getting sandbags for my house and my sister-in-law, moving stuff upstairs, getting emergency supplies and of course finding a way to keep my bike dry.
The flood is supposed to hit in the next week or so and is going to be between 1 and 2 meters high!

Trying to elevate my baby as much as possible...
My pets are all cared for already
The BangPrakong river is dangerously high
Some essential food supplies

Fonzie's Bike For Sale
If you're about my age and have a spare 60.000Pound (almost 3 million Baht or 95.000$) you might consider getting an iconic motorcycle of your youth. Such as this one...
Fonzie's bike, a Triumph Trophy TR5, from the famous TV series Happy Days is being auctioned and up for grabs, ...if you have the cash.
A bit disappointing though is the fact that he never really used it himself, as he said that motorcycles scared the shit out of him. Not cool, Fonzie!!

Riding Through Europe in the 50's
There's a really cool bike trip through Europe in the 50's HERE. The pictures are of excellent quality and the bikes are stunning. There's even a Brough Superior SS100, one of the most expensive sport bikes at that time.
Austria...
...and then Italy, on the Passo Giovo! Not far from my home....
hmmmm, feeling homesick now :-(
