Diarrhea Ends Nov. 28

After spending 2 days in Hong Kong, we made our way back to California Friday morning. It turned out that we were almost in the wrong place at the wrong time….twice! Our preliminary plan was to fly to Mumbai on the 27th of Nov. and catch a plane directly to Bangkok, Thailand. We would have landed in Mumbai, India, just in time for the terrorist attack. Our flight to Bangkok would have been canceled due to the demonstrations that closed the Bangkok airport. We would have been stuck in Mumbai with no ticket out, like all the other people trying to escape the terrorism in the city. Fortunately, the airlines would not change our original tickets to Mumbai instead of Delhi, so the new plan was to fly from Goa to Delhi to Hong Kong to Bangkok to Chaing Mai. We had a hotel and motorcycles waiting for us in Chaing Mai, a city in northern Thailand. So sometime between Delhi and Hong Kong the shit hit the fan…. Bangkok airport closed, and then Mumbai was attacked. We called it quits a week early and came home.
From this trip we have a lot of good video and still images that will be made into some kind of DVD soon, but the lack of motorcycles prevents a full-on diarrhea movie. We have started talking about taking an emergency motorcycle trip and making a DVD so the thousands of “Motorcycle Diarrheas” fans across the globe who are nauseously waiting for our next movie would not be too frustrated.
