The sun was setting on another near-perfect day over Chaweng Beach on Koh Samui, an island in the Gulf of Thailand. Sitting in a beach chair in the strip of sand owned by the Baan Samui Resort, John Harwich watched the sunset, contemplating it and enjoying its crimson beauty. He compared it mentally to the hundreds of sunsets he'd seen on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, his native home. It was different here in the Gulf of Thailand, not the same as sunsets had been on Cape Cod Bay. Not more picturesque or less. Just...different. And he liked it.

This expedition took all of ten minutes and within fifteen more, he'd decided to get a big AX-1. The good-sized motorbike was chosen over the usual Honda Dream because after talking with a Thai last night, Harwich thought today's activities would consist of riding out of Mae Hong Son and up to Mae Aw.
