Thanx for all the comments.
OX, do it, you'll love it. A 640 was built with the Kao road in mind.

Shark, I didn't take enough pics of the real conditions. It's hectic in places. But, so far, everyone that has posted a report on that road, also didn't take enough pics. Stopping in a difficult section for quick pic or 2 is not an option. Once you're moving, you don't want to stop.
