For some reason I can't do it
My trip report is here:
http://board.gt-rider.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2642
Also about the camelbacks hydration: My stops revolved around refilling and
emptying the bladder!
It made the trip possible!

bushpilot, you need to log in at the gt-rider site to see your trip report.
You'll need to edit the report and repost here.

^ ok thanks:
here goes:
Don't ask me why but I've always had a fascination about long distance
motorcycle touring.
And the Iron Butt association seems to epitomize hard core riding.
To qualify as a member you have to document a 1600 km ride within 24
hours.
Songkhla-CM in one of the few 1600km spans here.
I've always wanted to see Songkhla.
They have the famous mermaid
I liked the cat and the rat,
Songkhla is quite a pretty place, nice long beaches, big trees.
a few pubs, a big university and lot's of friendly people.
I got the manager of the boon sook2 hotel to witness my departure and
away I went.
I did some supplemental documentation
The weather was terrific up to Chumpon. Gassed up and on to Nakhon
Pathom. 
Arrived Nakhon Pathom 20:44. Lots of traffic and construction after Cha
Am.
Rain was looming now. It rained hard for 10 minutes after I fueled then
stopped.
I rode till midnight being delighted with grand displays of lighting all
around while not catching a drop.
Around midnight it became obvious I was going ride into a big one and I
was tired so I stopped at the Chai Nat Motel for a few ZZZs.
Up again at 04:00 and on the to the fuel in Kampheang Phet.
By now I realized my pace has been too leisurely and I needed to pick up
the pace.
I was going 160kph whenever I could. Clobbered a couple of birds
feathers flying but kept motoring.
Noticed later that my oil temp was unusually warm. That and the wingtip I
could see caused me to stop and check.
I still had a whole bird blocking nearly half of my oil cooler. Sorry guy!.
So after nearly dumping the bike on a slick drizzly exit u-turn and testing
the anti-lock brakes slowing down for a truck on a wet road I made it into
CM with a few minutes to spare: 
Now I can I've done it. Though I'm still not quite sure why as I sit here in
the Prince hotels soft bed nursing my sore butt with a couple of Changs.
Tomorrow I'm off to Mae Salong to see the changes of 30 years....

It uses [IMG] coding. With caps. I'm not sure if it makes a difference
though.
Make sure you pull up each image on its own page. Sometimes on an
image bank like Flickr that uses slideshows, the url for an image is a
"dynamic link" and will not work in a remote link. If you right click on the
image (using a PC) and open the image by itself in a new window, you'll
get a different url that should work for a remote link.

Well I just tried to rehang the pics using firefox instead of safari. Safari wont let me insert the changes.
But the dang pics still wont come up.
They display fine on the other forum and work.
