The boys from Triumph motorcycles in Bangkok returned for a weekend of off-roading, with a deluge of rain the week prior, the trails were like ice, but as the good chaps they are, the most was made of the slipping and sliding as we managed to miss any more down falls of rain.
Making our way out of the city, day 1

It was a tough 2 days off riding with the unexpected wet month of May, for off road beginners the boys showed some true grit, and no dummy spitting was experienced, Although my last chosen trail on Saturday afternoon was not of a good choice being as slippery as cat poo! this may have drawn a little criticism. LOL
