Chasing the Dragon, 2013

Chasing the Dragon US129 from TN a few weeks ago, courtesy of US129Photos.com, Chris and Matt in pursuit. These photos are a great service, too bad there's nothing I've seen like it in the BA. The bike is a 2002 SV650 rental via Sportbikes4Hire. Good deal, location-less rental, dropped off at our lodge and picked up after.

Testing new GoPro

After a disappointing missed video opportunity on Skyline a couple weeks ago, I picked up the new GoPro Black and tested it on the commute. More to come.

Harley Hillclimb in Malaysia

Great adventure last weekend! Some friends and I did a loop in Southern Malaysia from Singapore, including some unplanned off-road on street bikes. Here's a bit of footage from my friend's mobile phone. I didn't share it with the guy I rented from until after I got my security deposit back ; )
About 20 minutes after we returned to pavement, the rain began to fall and we rode the next hour or so through a tropical thunderstorm. Good times!

Running the Dragon

Just a couple pics from the recent Smokies ride- John & Lisa were excellent hosts and Zoe charmed us all as usual. John, thanks for your generous provision of the bikes! I was impressed by how much the Road King would lean before dragging floorboards.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market near Bangkok

Last weekend we took a boat ride through a floating market near Bangkok during a business trip in Singapore. It's a bit of a drive to get there, but well worth it. Ignore the souvenirs and go for the great food from floating vendors.

Eating well in SG

Of food in Singapore so far including expensive meals, only food that has jumped up and said "Wow, I'm delicious!" has been in People's Park, where ambiance is scruffy, cost is low, competition is fierce and the owner is close to the food.

Modern travel

Funny... Headed for SFO to SG, 3 people in car each on a different phone call (including driver). Zoom!

Best,
