Super Meteor 650 Touring Thailand - Chiang Rai to Sukhothai | Motorbike Vlog S1 E1

[@ancientbiker]

Another great video Teacher T. It really shows why touring Thailand on a bike is such a great experience.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Thank you AB. It's been a good tour so far. Tonight's video is pretty special I think. Maybe my best video to date? 🤔🙏

[@ancientbiker]

@@Teacher-T-Thailand That sounds promising. I will make a point of watching that.

[@michaelreid2329]

Love the video and thank you for letting us join you in the tour. What stunning scenery and the roads appear to be in an excellent condition. You are touring in the best manner for motorcycling. Shorter run, plenty of breaks and bike well set up for comfort. I'm looking forward to the series.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Thank you so much. 1,400 km in so far. Another 1,000 km to go. Stay tuned 😂🙏

[@TyphoonPilot1]

As usual Teacher T, a lovely video. A great ride to be had.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Thank you very much. The next episode even better 🙏

[@kybourbonboy]

My daughter backpacked through Thailand and SE Asia in 2002. I imagine it has changed a great deal in 22 years. I have shared this video with her. I'm guessing Mrs T is a patient lady :-)

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Myself and Mrs T have been married for 20 years, and so yes, she is very patient. And yes Thailand has modernised very quickly over the last 20 years, but still retains the charm and friendly culture. Thanks for watching and sharing. 🙏🙏

[@GapBahnDirk]

A good point about staying off the highways as they are packed with trucks and full of potholes. I find the same thing in Prachinburi Province, but the quiet country roads are indeed motorcycling heaven. 👍👍

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

They certainly are. Were now passing through Bangkok from Hua Hin on our way to Auyuattaya. Nightmare 🤣🙏

[@GapBahnDirk]

@@Teacher-T-Thailand I also ride in Bangkok, but try and keep it to Sunday mornings and holidays. The traffic is terrible! 😁😁

[@drdoolittle5724]

You are both very kind taking us along with you but I'm concerned - a week ago there was a horrific petrol fire after a motorcycle accident on YT which truly was devastating. Please please get off the bike when refuelling, you have no second chance especially with a 3rd person is in charge of the nozzle! Mrs T, tell him off big style and have a super holiday?

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Thank you for your concern. Will will pay it attention 🙏

[@akidrosli7917]

Congrats on reaching 4k!! And I've been looking forward for this touring video! Hope yoi share more of your travels!

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Ha ha. Thanks very much. Yes was happy to reach 4K on my birthday. This video is only 400km, of 2,400 km. So yes, lots to come. Thanks again 🙏

[@larrywade9041]

Thank you for that wonderful video. I am glad that the two of you are having a wonderful trip. Thanks for spelling out the cities over the screen. Your bike really looks sharp. I purchased a tank bag based off of your last video. Thanks for the tip. Cheers!!

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Many thanks. Glade you enjoyed it. Next episode even better 🙏

[@Timothy-ns4qn]

Lovely ride video. Looking forward to more!🙏

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Thank you so much. Yes we have lots more to share. 🙏

[@davericketts9101]

I love these sort of touring videos and can't wait for the rest of the series. It looks like the bike is perfect for those sort of roads. I am thinking of getting a Super Meteor next Spring and I will be interested to see what you think of the bike, by the end of the tour. Do you always ride with the headlight on main beam? 🤔

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Thank you. It’s perfect now, but it has been a hurdle to make it so. Yes, I always travel with high beam on, to try and stop cars pulling out at junctions in front of me. Cars here naturally assume all bikes are small and travel at low speeds. Seeing a bright light indicates a bidder bike 🙏

[@davericketts9101]

@@Teacher-T-Thailand Thanks Teacher T. I have seen other videos where riders use main beam and, looking at the results of some of the driving shown in this video, I get it 👍.

[@pete147]

Hi Teacher T & Mrs T. Thanks for letting us join your wonderful Journey. I had a similar problem but not on my RE. The yellow engine light came on and I was told it was okay to carry on but stop if it turned to red. My fault was the battery needed replacing but I’m guessing yours was down to weight but I’m guessing. See you in the next vlogg. Ride safe.😊

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

You are welcome. We are still on tour. Will upload more over the next few days. An electrical fault, but an unexpected one 🙏😂

[@kaylind5227]

Great video. You've got me contemplating switching out my RE hard saddlebags for those Trip Machine ones. The hard bags are decent, but require a good bit of work to remove and reinstall. Seeing you slip those bags on and off so quickly is making me Astral Green with envy.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Ha ha, nice. There are many feeling the same way. Especially the hard plastic panniers. They look good, but aren’t that practical. Next week Trip Machine will give me a 10% discount code for my subscribers. Sadly it will only last for a couple of weeks. 🙏

[@kaylind5227]

​@Teacher-T-Thailand I may actually be able to take advantage of that discount, I've been getting a good bit of OT at work. So thanks. One question for you if you have the time. I'm surprised by the amount of signage in English at the stores there. Is that common throughout the county?

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

@@kaylind5227 yes, very common. Even the road signs 👌🙏

[@kaylind5227]

​@@Teacher-T-ThailandInteresting, and pretty cool for us English speakers. Thanks for the info, and safe travels.

[@willi_zwo]

Hi, Beautiful country and beautiful journey. During a 7,000 km trip through south-east Europe this summer on my SM 650, I also had a problem with the engine mgt. light. Because I was asking myself the same questions as you, whether I could just carry on driving, I contacted RE support. To paraphrase Shakespeare: Much ado about nothing, because after several emails back and forth, I ended up just as smart as before. However, after the bike had been parked overnight, the engine mgt. light was off the next morning and has not come back on since. So it seems to have been just an indication that something was wrong, but it sorted itself out. Have a safe journey, and thanks for the videos.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

7K. That’s pretty hardcore. I hope you had some upgraded rear suspension and seats 👌Mine went out the next day own it’s own 😂🙏

[@willi_zwo]

@@Teacher-T-Thailand It was hardcore, indeed, because the bike was in its standard configuration. The bottom grumbled, but the heart rejoiced. The seat and rear suspension upgrades followed the trip as a consequence, as well as other improvements.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

@@willi_zwo yep, I learned too on my first 2,000 km trip. Now things are much better. Takes some work fiddling though 🙏

[@MrEye4get]

We are entering the best season to explore Thailand on a Motorcycle. Time to clock some kilometres before the burning season begins! I'd definitely have the engine management light quickly checked before venturing off on a long journey. The Royal Enfield dealership isn't far away in Chiang Rai.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

We are indeed. Just dodging the rain is still a little bit of a problem. The light went out on its own the next day. Everything running fine. 1,400 km into the trip so far 🙏

[@giuseppepiscitello]

complimenti per il video

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Thank. More of the tour soon to follow.

très beau voyage et paysage👌 avec royal enflied

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

It gets even better. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@MrTbains]

Hi. Im from india I almost watched all your videos👌 Im also having super meteor 650 interstellar green I like you saddle and tank bag. Can you please tell me from were i can order those bags

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Ha ha thank you so much. They should be easy to get where you are in India. Trip Machine Company is who you need to look for, but they do post and save stockists world wide 🙏

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

😂👌🙏

[@alejandroarieldallamarta5753]

Hello, excellent performance 30 km per liter, at what cruising speed did you make the trip?

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

The trip is still ongoing. 1,400km so far. Another 1,000 to go. Speed varies dramatically. But average 80kph. But do up to 110 kph when possible. Averaging 26kpl so far 🙏

[@Moonsunstar777]

Chain is still rubber?

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Yes sir. 5,000 km on belt drive now. 🙏

[@leswatson8563]

Greetings Teacher T from Hertfordshire. During this summer my grandson and I rode to Southend on Sea cruised around a bit and came home. That day we did around 100 miles without any problems with my Super Meteor 650. As I left my daughter's damn if my bike would start! The engine malfunction light was on. So sad stand up, clutch in and while in neutral I turned her on and off four times. Each time the fuel pump engaged but the malfunction light stayed on. Then I pressed the started and she came to life? Carefully I rode her home, no backfiring etc just the usual smooth ride. Monday I booked my bike into my bike shop for a dinostic test. But that wasn't until the Wednesday, and as I had places to be I continued riding. In the workshop the mechanic came out. Have I had any starting problems he asked? No I replied not since Saturday evening I said again. Any backfiring he enquired? No nothing in fact I've been riding her just fine holding 70mph, why, I asked? Turns out their dinostic matching had shown unknown error so he cleared it and ran the dinostic again. But no fault was shown. £40 I was charged for that. And the following week my grandson and I went to Falmouth in Cornwell. That light never came back on? So perhaps by turning her on and off four times without trying to start it partly cleared whatever was giving the CPU a senior moment? Love the views of Thailand your showing, but any chance of see more please! Safe cruising you two 🤘😊...

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

We are still touring. Another few days to go before we get home. So yes a few more videos to look forward to. ECU light went out on its on the next day luckily. Bike running buttery smooth. All is good. But I will reveal what I think caused it soon 😂🙏

[@drdoolittle5724]

Just a lack of engineering prowess maybe so buy Japanese, 60 years of Honda's and no management lights, so far!

[@silverback3926]

Beautiful scenery!!! I r err ally like the idea of the cruiser but my recent diagnosis of lower back stenosis concerns me My sprung seat on the classic doeant cause pain. I wander if a sprung seat could be installed. I have always thought about moving to Thailand or Philippines to get more out of my meager retirement income . If worry about medical care as I age. Cant wait to see the.next video

How's that 300bt camera doing?

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Ha ha. Yes it’s still doing great. Just for proving something. On and off every time with the ignition, and loop records. Doesn’t miss a thing. Not the best of quality footage, but it’s enough. 🙏
