Mud Superman


Back in 90. I was driving in the north of Thailand. Pre-Asia tiger. 250cc Honda dirt bike. Arrive at a mud puddle on the road to Mae Hong Song. three buses waiting. All the Thais sitting on the side of the road. Waiting for the road to dry out. I rev up the bike. They turn their heads a few stand up. The bike torques out at 7000 revs. 30, 40, 50. I figure to hydroplane across the goo. The front tire hits the slop and the bike stops on a dime. I'm launched into the air. Superman. Face plant in the mud. Thais laugh themselves to death. Then buy me beer. Good people.
