Read our Exclusive Interview with Sukie Kamol on the trials and tribulations of Dreamchaser2 motorbike tour through Indochina. Dreamchaser was originally made for Thai TV and therefore in Thai language however, it is very rare for a show to be made about riding in Asia such as this so, we would like to also pose a simple question to our readers..."Do you think this show should be either dubbed or subtitled into English?" If so, there could be chance the show will be re-edited specifically for an English speaking audience. Please fel free to ask Sukie any questions of your own at the bottom of the page.
Have you heard about Dreamchaser? Sukie Kamol the founder of this Thai Motorcycle TV documentary has given permission for his blog to appear on Motorbike-Asia as well as exclusive interviews about his incredible Indochina motorbike experience. Thank you Sukie and we look forward to reading your entries on Motorbike-Asia.
After 3 months Dreamchaser Season I went off the air May 2007. Over the next few months I settled down to living life in Bangkok again. Also during this period I bought myself two new motorcycles, a Ducati 1098 and a Triumph Tiger, which I use as my touring bike. Taking many trips upcountry people always asked me if I’m here to film a TV show and I tell them “no I’m just here traveling.” I was surprised at how many people actually saw our show and all ask the same question; if there will be a Season II.
We left Mae Jam around 4:00 pm and I was in a hurry, not wanting to ride in the dark. However, these 150s would not go faster than 70 km/hr. More so, the gearing, breaking and clutch did not work properly. While Hui’s bike had no power, mine kept on stalling. The two things I hate most is riding dark in the rain and we were doing both- on steep mountain roads. Making matter worst we could barely see what was ahead of us with the
I slept for 1 hr the night before our big trip, woke up at 5:30 am and felt terrible; I thought for sure I was about to get sick. Drank two M150 and we left BKK around 7:30 am. Usually I need at least 3 hr sleep minimum to get by and was worried I would conked out on the first day of our journey; however, some how I manage to make it to our destination at Tak. The only thing I could think that kept me going was the nervous energy / adrenaline that has been building up inside me for the pass month, finally we are leaving after 9 months of planning.
