HIGHWAY 1148

Apparently this particular stretch of bitumen in Thailand's north east is rated in the top ten motorcycle roads in the world. I guess such claims are usually pretty spurious, ie says who? what kind of road? what does "best" mean anyway? etc. Tell you what, if you like fast sweeping bends, fast climbs, even faster descents, the odd switchback, hardly any other traffic and about 100 km of winding bitumen as smooth as a baby's bum, you might want to look into it. And the scream from the Arrow exhaust at 11,000 rpm just put the icing on the cake.

I'm no Valentino Rossi, but just check out my back tyre after one of the most exhilarating rides I've ever had. Say no more.



YEAH, BABY !!
