back to BKK

I just got off the 11 hour bus ride to bkk, from chaing mai. i'm stinky any delirious. I decided to go 1st class instead of vip this time, don't know if i'll be doing that again anytime soon (the girl on the computer next yo me is singing (zombie) poorly,)
I was squished next to an older business man, who I think got the worse part of the bargain, once i realised i didn't smell so hot.. opps, fucking white people.
anyways, last time I was talking about the day long off road ride we went on, which was great, but a bit sketchy at times, like at one point where I was looking back to see how far back the guys were an came about 2 inches to driving off a cliff. looked like about a 15 foot drop into dense forest the the vegetation was so think you couldn't tell what was down there.
also, I was riding on duel sport tires so any part I was going down hill I was just sliding, the entire time. which isn't so bad on a dirt bike but still a bit sketchy, i was told the other bikes the guys rented didn't have that problem at all with the knobies.
every once in a awhile we'd come across a little old lady on a scooter loaded down with baskets going up one of these roads and be amazed (and feel a little less manly)
lol., the road ended up leading to some paved roads and after asking quite a few nice folks which way to ching mai we found our way back. everyone ass tired.
a few days later I when out again through a small village on the outskirts of chaing mai and found some dirt trails, which lead into heavy foliage, wouldn't quite call it thje forest but it was pretty thick. took some trails deeper and deeper till we came across a little old man how was very insistent that we go farther down the way we were going.. that or he was saying don't! go down that way.. lol.. i tryed to ask if he wanted to attach his cart to my bike and i'd give him a ride but the language barrar was too great and I think we all just confused each other.. we ended up going off on a side trail past abandoned houses and farms, the trail got smaller and smaller at times disappearing in the thick undergrowth and reappearing here and there. but after a bit I kept thinking "this is how tourist get lost in the jungle" so I finally tured around and made my way back to the city in time to return the bike (it was costing me a fortune anyways.)
most the rest of the time in Chang Mai was spent going to biker partys, getting presured to drink, though I did a deasent jopb at staying fiarly sober. just topping off my drink with soda water any chance I got before they could pour more wisky in.
the last day before I left Pee Pot (the head of the Chang Mai Hellrasers bike club) put togeather a ride, (I rented a honda super four for the day which wasn't too bad)we ended up riding for 11 am to 5pm with many breaks, if flicker didn't suck such balls I could put some of them up) anyways.. it was good fun, the bike club guys on there chromed out jap choppers and harly gear looked the part.
hopfully I'll get to meet up with them next time i'm up, Pee Pot is suposed to keep an eye out for a bike for me to buy...
anyways,. now I'm of to find a place to shower. I thinkbeing white, i should just be able to walk past the from desk of any guest house and head upstairs to take one. guess it's time to start getting used to cold showers again. lol.
