3 years in the dreaming and 6 months in the planning - tonight at 2200hrs we ride for northern thailand. nearly 8000km, but still only a baby step.

the open road - i will always romanticize it out of proportion, its rough-tough spontaneity, those unreachable horizons, and that machine-and-two-wheels smell of freedom. above all, that sense of an overwhelmingly larger world.

this time i’ve got the best wolf pack to share the journey with. we’ll be home safe, so long as we dont let romance overtake common sense. well not too often, at least.

completely warmed also, by all the love, gifts and support from folks, especially grandmaster goh, joemac and jap + his motley crew at wheels & weiners.

we’ll see y’all 730pm tonight at w&w (25A perak road) for one last milkshake for the road.
