After 4 weeks of constantly calling them to hurry them along Honda finally fixed my CBR! Well almost, this is Thailand, you didn’t expect it to be perfect did you? They replaced the fairing, headlights and windshield. But they forgot to order a decal set for it. So my poor bike is naked! Actually it looks quite cool in pure black without the graphics.

This really is good news though, I have to make a visa run to Ranong next week and I can now go on the bike! Hop on the ferry over to Surat Thani and then about… Continue reading →
