SOLO MOTORBIKE FAIL in THAILAND 🇹🇭 Lost in Lampang

Today we are continuing our solo motorbike adventure in Thailand with the aim of reaching the Laos border, however we have a big problem up in the mountains of Lampang.
On route to Chiang Mai 'Zelda' my new Honda CT 125 decides to have a complete back break failure and so we are left stranded on the side of the road, how are we going to get out of this situation?
I have seen a few other motorbike channels suffer break downs in remote areas such as Itchy Boots in Guatemala, but how are we gonna get out of this one....

😂😂😂😂 get yourself on a motorcycle repair course and maybe rider training. You should be using front brake a little more than the rear.

[@wojamacolit]

Ditch that false tank and use the very practical rack that is fitted underneath it for holding a basic tool kit. Even if you can't use it most Thais are pretty practical people and will help you out.

[@no1dress]

Hey Paddy. You really make me laugh sometimes!🤣 You really did panic over nothing! Firstly, Zelda has a disc brake on the rear, not a drum, as shown in your footage. Secondly, you should always use the front brake going down hill much more than the back brake (except on sand), so you could have continued quite safely using engine braking too. The driver was probably right and it just overheated, if you were only using the back brake all the time (or the hydraulic fluid is low or the line came off). Anyway, no doubt you will have learned a lot watching Zelda get fixed. However, always better to be safe than sorry, so you did the right thing as you weren't sure. Lovely drone shot of Doi Suthep at the end too! I can't wait to be back there in November, and hopefully Laos in December! Carry on..!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Please learn a few basic motorbike riding skills . Plenty of stuff on you tube! Riding a bike can be dangerous and even the most experienced riders have accidents

[@thomasmckenney3518]

That’s what I was going to say. Supposed to use the front brake most and the rear brake is to help. Most bikes the front rotors are bigger than the rear.

You are an absolute classic thank you for your honesty and the laughs. I do feel a bit sorry that you often don’t have some one to share the beauty though. Doing Northern Thailand next year xxx

[@deanpapadopoulos3314]

God bless you Paddy. You’re keeping it real bro’. The tough times make the special that much more special. On a related note: you want to match your cc’s with the weight of you and of what you’re carrying in pounds (not kg’s). If you’re 200 lbs wet and you have a 100 lbs of gear plus modifications then you shouldn’t be on anything under a 300 cc. And that’s for your safety rather for any other reason. Secondly, your front brake takes care of 70% of your stopping. So, use it mostly and use the back brake and the front brake in emergencies. Use the back brake only also on a steep downhill especially if the tarmac is wet.

[@huwthomas6430]

Ha ha ha...keeping it real at the end 😂😂😂 Amazing views from the sky temple and Lamphang looks very nice. You done the right thing with the bike because if you had an accident up there I dread to think what would have happened as it is so isolated. Love the glamping 😁👊

[@PaddyDoyle.]

thanks mate ✌️

Welcome back to Chiang Mai. We have a group called the CT Mudders three CT's in our group so far. It would be great to catch up with you in person here in the Old City if you have time. We are going to the Kings Cup tomorrow at 5:30 to watch the soccer match between Thailand and Trinidad and Tobago for third place at the 700 year Stadium. I will treat you if you can make it. Let me know. Love your videos and I am so glad you got your "dream" bike.

[@travelrefocused]

Hey. You live and learn. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself regarding your decision. You used your best judgement at the time to be safe. All things considered it worked out well and this experience has made you more prepared for the future. Good on you for being real and sharing your learning process. We are currently in Chiang Mai for another month or so. Look forward to seeing what you have to share.

Hiya Paddy, nice you hung out watching football and had a few pints. My legs ached for you. After your hike. Bless you. Then to do this. Respect. Beautiful drone footage. You did the right thing. For you. Safer. Do not knock yourself. I would have done the same in that situation. Sometimes things happen for a reason your drone and camera equipment. Life is telling you to chill and rest. Beautiful place. Sorry, your meal was small. I was wondering what that insurance thing was. Thought I was hearing things. And it must have been something on your phone. LOL. Bubbles. Love the outdoor bath. 7 seconds. I was just thinking of 21 seconds to go. Some old skool tune. Have a great weekend.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

haha thanks Nicky!

[@wasan5510]

You shall use both break, some expert say front break 70% + rear break 30%. When you go down hill, lower down the gear -3-2-1 to get engine break as well, it help a lot.

[@mattbryan8535]

Haha! I'm very late to the party and probably just repeating what others have said but you would've realised it's a disc on the rear and has probably just overheated through over use...you should use your front brake a lot when descending...this also shares the load between the two and lessens the chance of overheating issues...btw my diagnosis could be completely wrong??! 5555

[@KwilliamsFLA]

What the hell Paddy, hotel..Not bad?? That place is epic!!!

[@nickvandernet]

Mate, your front brake is your MAIN brake. Whoever has told you the opposite should be shot. The back break's probably worn out because you're using it as a main brake, when it's really only an emergency brake. There's a good course by Honda Safety park in North Chiang Mai.

[@cybersheep9236]

Still under warranty?!?! Some1 up there ain't happy & jealous of your Zelda! hahaha

Lesson learned...moved on. You did well to have a contingency plan. Not many experiences solo ride and understanding making decisions...👍

[@michaelbauch8972]

Sorry Paddy, but you are completely wrong using the rear brake only - like most Thai do! On a motorbike 70 - 80 % of breaking power is in the front break! Best way in breaking on a motorbike is using both brakes together!

[@andrewbrann6231]

I really need your help right now on figuring something out for me. Starting October 1st you don't need any vaccination or proof of negative test result to enter Thailand. My issue is I get to Bangkok from America on September 30th 11:20 p.m.. that seems to be 40 minutes before they're lifting it. The question I have is will I need a negative test results since I'm unvaccinated will they still be enforcing it right up until midnight September 30th?

[@gnarrrrrrrrrrrr]

[@bobdavies604]

Front brake 60% Rear 40% is the best use of your brakes.

[@MultiThunder1234]

Mate, you do know what you're doing, first, based on your limited know how you didn't get a bigger adventure bike which a lot of people going on tour do because if you did get a bigger adventure bike the same could have occurred but it would have been next to impossible to fit it on the back of the rescue truck which is actually more of a Thai mini bus, trying to get a Super Tenere up that and you would be crying.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Glad you enjoyed it Lucy ❤️

[@fabriziovenier2126]

Great video as usual Paddy.! The front brake should be your main brake on a motorbike 😉.. Keep going mate 💪

[@jcpr6542]

the greatest stopping power on any motorcycle is found at the front wheel. ideally use both brakes and on very steep descents, of which there are loads in thailand, it is best to use as much engine compression as possible in low gears to control speed and thus prevent the brakes from overheating. If we only use the rear brake, there is a high probability that the liquid will overheat until it boils and there we will no longer have a brake. In the case of your Honda Dream, since it used a drum brake, which is a system without hydraulic fluid, that did not happen.

[@GijsvanRijszen]

Damn Paddy, now I have to change my schedule for Thailand in 2 months... I have to come to this place obviously 🙃🤣 Anyway, great video and have a nice time in Belgium and England ✌️

Then sharing the break\brakedown of Zelda, your muscles and your nerves, coming into one of the most beautiful "guesthouses" I ever saw, showing how the Thai help quickly, happily and efficiently: Paddy, I saw so many videos you made, but for me thats the best you ever did, it was amazing and I will watch it more times for sure. Thanks man, you are great. And greetz to Zelda. See you in Chiang Mai. Would love to be there again and have some Singha or Whisky with Water and Ice together, but cannot come over, sadly.

Mate the brake just got too hot, with even a tiny bit of air or water in the brake fluid the pedal goes into nirvana. You can just let it cool down and continue. Get a mechanic to do a brake flush with brand new fluid from a sealed container

[@billmoeller8897]

Yes, my first guess was over heated brake. Happened to me once, wearing new shoes, could not feel the pedal that well, rode the pedal for a kilometer or so & overheated the brake. Does not take much on those small bikes. Let it cool down & carry on.

You shouldn't ride a motorbike, big or small using only or primarily the rear.... Quite the opposite in fact. Primary = front, secondary is rear.

[@danieljohn482]

Paddy your videos are absolutely awesome. I get the feeling of travelling with you, especially with the ups and downs. I just discovered you a few weeks ago. Loved your Vietnam trip. Going back and watching your Thai provinces videos now. You're production quality has improved greatly. I have notifications turned on now! Sounds like you've figured the braking thing out but yes, the front brake needs to do the vast majority of your braking. It's the more powerful brake. The back brake is good for stability at slower speeds. Questions, do you see many larger bikes around? How do you think a big new adventure bike like a BMW R1250 GS would fair on SE Asian roads? Would it handle them? Do you think it would get a bit of attention of the wrong kind? (e.g. theft or Vietnamese police wanting to see a Vietnamese licence)

[@chonlakarno.2471]

As it seems you have no answer so far and I just came across your comment. As working as an expatriate in Vietnam for 3 years so I guess I have a right to give you some information. Riding a big bike in Vietnam definitely you will gain lot of attention not only from the passersby but theft also. We had a showroom when I was working in HCMC and we put many nice pots of plants in front of our entrance door, every time when we lost them we bought new ones until one day my staffs stopped me from putting anything outside our property. LOL 🤣 I was so stubborn by keeping buying new ones, they said. Well, for Thailand, don't think you will gain much of attention driving a big bike but Lamborghini. And if you get robbed here, you are so much unlucky in my opinion but it does happen anyhow as bad people do exist everywhere on earth. I got robbed once when i was in HCMC exhibition center early morning when the entrance door was not yet opened. 😅 The road conditions in Vietnam is quite difficult so suggest not to ride a long journey each day though. Wish you luck!

[@ovidiusm7710]

To be fair it's good that this happened because it's an important learning experience. Most likley you overheated your back brake. I know it feels natural to gently press the back break the entire way down, but you can't do that. Very dangerous. Stay in a low gear and use engine breaking as your primary break going downhill, and only use front / back when needed. And never rely on your back brake as your primary, it's your weakest one.

[@phbusch4634]

Hi Paddy Just had to laugh at your motorcycle "breakdown" not really knowing why the food brake would have stopped working either, but as a long time motorcycle driver (big ones) I can tell you that it is wrong to mainly use the food (rear) brake. It is more safe and more efficient to use the front brake, in particular since it is even ABS supported. The biggest effect you would achieve with both but more force should be applied on the front then on the back. Number 1 rule for safety if an emergency brake needs to be done. Just try it out and don't be afraid to apply heavy front wheel braking. It is actually good if you test in a safe environment such manoeuvres and become confident for the day you may need it. Again, stop using the rear brake as your main braking tool. The opposite is who real biker do it! But most of all safe keep having safe travels. Enjoying your videos a lot.

[@travelertrome8449]

Although nothing major happened, I absolutely loved this episode. One of the best things about adventure is the unexpected, and finding hidden gems as a result. That accommodation looked fabulous!

Love ya vlogs, Paddy. We will take in mind your hints regarding Vietnam north - we will be there on a Benelli TRK 502 in april 2024. Being a Motorbiker with nearly 42 Years of experience, actually driving aDucati 1200 Multi with 160HP & lots of experience in Mountainbiking: Have always your center of gravity near front wheel. Why? It´s the only wheel, which reacts on your decided direction. If you have to brake, more and more weight of you & the bike will be distributed to the front wheel. I do not use the rear-brakes of all my bikes - except the Harley Roadking - the center of gravity od the Roadking is more on the rear. Back to your issue: In this situation, you´re not trapped. Move your ass over the tank-dummy and focus on your front wheel. It´s comparable to skiing: If you do fear the steep decline, and move your ass to the rear - you will crash. Face the decline, fold your arms gorilla-like, move your ass to the front, and drive that bike to down the hill. If your balls tend to turn into rubber-erasers, you're on the right track.

At 81 years old, I have learned that the hardest lessons I experienced, & the most embarrassing lessons I had were always the ones in which I learned the most. From those times, I transferred concepts into other experiences to bolster my success on other problems completely unrelated. So, do not be too hard on yourself. We all live & learn. That's life, as Frank Sinatra sang the lyrics written by Paul Anka many decades ago. Life is a process. Enjoy the mistakes as learning experiences. It's what we all do while we are busy living life. Enjoy the journey of life itself. And never be embarrassed of your mistakes but embrace them as though they are gentle nudges from the gods above to remind us, we are only human. BTW, I wish so much I could do what you are doing, so I am enjoying your videos so much. I really love your experiences. Be cautious and yet, still enjoy your journey. An Addendum: OMG!!! Your staying in an absolutely HEAVENLY resort with a gorgeous babbling brook to enjoy with beautiful greenery all around your DELUXE accommodating room with all the amenities as you're about to partake of a scrumptious burger with ample fries and a cold beer, and you get excited over a skinny stick bug?
