Aug 2008 3 Day S.M.

3 Day Supermotard with Mike, Hilmar and Paul
t=”450″ /Although August is the middle of the wet season it can still be good riding, often the rain only falls early morning or late afternoon into the night, the rain is very isolated and at worst we may have to ride through a warm rain downpour which at most takes 15min to come out the other side.
But what you get for your effort is seeing the Golden Triangle landscape in a glorious lush green with amazing photo opportunity’s as Paul from England and Mike and Hilmar from Iceland found doing a 3 day supermotard tour.
