Mike Hagerty's Photo of the Day

I'm going to start with a photo of the day to get myself motivated to keep posting. I tend to set these kind of goals for myself, do it for about a week or two, find a good reason not to do it one day, then use the same reason for the next several months until I get back to it. Hopefully that won't happen...but it probably will. The layout right now really is quite horrible and I realize the title appears at the top twice, but until I figure out how I want it to look, it probably won't change. Enjoy...

My New Ride

I now have been here just short of six months. After about a month or two we first rented some motor bikes to get around Rayong for a weekend. Then some of my coworkers started renting bikes for a month before buying their own. For some reason I resisted...until yesterday.


I bought myself a nice, clean, blue Honda Wave 100S for about $900. It has 4800 km on it (about 2800 miles) and runs nice and smooth. To buy a motor bike you need a Thai person to essentially take ownership, so we had our secretary Thom help us out. She now "owns" at least five motorbikes that my coworkers and I have bought. There's a lot to see and do in Rayong and it's all outside walking distance from out hotel, so hopefully this will get me out more often.
