This is in Eastern Thailand near the Cambodian border! I was sitting on the Uly while Nat was taking a pic of some rubber plantation workers and she caught me having a "what the" moment!

Great pic! Looks like you're having some nice weather. What windscreen is that you're using? |

It's a http://www.ceebaileys.com/buell/ulyssesws2.html ceebaileys 16" that I busted when sideswiping a minivan in Laos, I got a couple of broken ribs, the Uly's got bent handlebars, scratched bags and the screen damage, one tough bike! I've ordered a new screen which has just arrived in Oz! |

Thanks! Did you get the 16" again? I was thinking of trying the 14" (5'10" with 31" inseam) but I like the height yours shows in the picture. Hope I never experience a confrontation with a minivan! Glad you're still here to tell about it. |

I had a Cee Bailey's +14 and I hated it. I'm 6' with a 32" inseam. The screen was 2" too tall. The buffetting was the worst I have ever encountered (well...second worst to a Vstrom I spent time on). I proceeded to sell the screen instead of cut it down. Just some info for you Gatlinburger.... |

Brat, Looks like one hell of a trip! Are you still in Thailand? How's the Uly running in the heat and Humidity? Kevin |

I've bought a new 16", I'm 6' and can't fault it at legal speeds, yep, does get a bit noisy as speed builds but I'm happy to keep a lid on it as I have a stuffed disc in my neck and I love being able to ride all day without discomfort. The pic is as we headed back into Thailand heading toward Bangkok from Cambodia. We got it on a boat and the Uly just arrived back in Oz! I'm hoping Nat does a full trip report soon with pics, Malaysia/Thailand/Laos/Cambodia/Thailand!
![Up front!](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142838/322085.jpg) Here's one of us loading the Uly on the front of a ferry to go down the Mekong in Northern Laos! |

I'm 6' 4" and figure to buy the tallest one, with the Euro lip, but for winter riding only. I like the Buell taller (4") w/screen for normal touring in reasonable warm weather. ~jammer |

This is in the mountains near the Thai/Malaysia border when we came upon a hill tribe moving camp, they were a bit frightened of the noise!
