BigBikeBKK Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 The Nonthaburi Bike Rally was FUN! Good Times and some CRAZY bikes! Some incredibly bizarre / fun bikes! Did ya notice the car tire on the rear of this one? The seat on this contraption was a piece of wood! And gotta love the burlap trim and horns! (That Heineken bike was pretty cool too) It rained hard around mid day on Saturday and I didn't think I'd be able to make it to the Nonthaburi rally Then the sun came out and it became a beautiful day Surprisingly my better half (who up until recently hated motorcycles) decided that she wanted to come. (Perhaps because she heard about the Miss Nonthaburi Beauty Contest? ) This was the first motorcyle rally I've ever been to in Thailand and I must say I was quite impressed at the turnout and the variety of bikes. MOO! Jah Rastafari! One Love and Irie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeBite Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 It was a great day on Saturday and met some really nice people. Ran out of film but do have a bunch of pics that I'll post later. Really disappointed that it didn't last the full 3 days as everything was gone before midmorning on Sunday. Oh well, it was their first year for this so I'm sure next year will be better planned.

BigBikeBKK Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Here are some pics and vids from a really fun rally this weekend- Chonburi Thailand Motorcycle and Sound Rally (Part 1) link Hooked up with the Friend Highway Motorcycle Club to attend a very fun rally in the tiny Chonburi town of Pluak Daeng (literally, Red Termite Village) The Friend Highway Club mostly ride vintage Yamaha SRs. I'd never even heard of this bike until recently, but I'm now a BIG fan of these vintage 400cc single cylinder thumpers! Check 'em out: Cafe Racer style, added chrome and tricked out suspension: Check out these pipes You can tell a lot of these guys get their custom pipes done by one master: Kym Thompson on his Yamaha SR (But can he surf???) Some other remarkable bikes too! A classic 1953 Triumph Beautiful WWII era Harley Davidsons: Wow- who knew there were such amazing motorcycles in Thailand?! Enjoyed a beautiful sunset ride from Nong Ri to Pluak Daeng- Here's the scene upon arrival, let's take a look around- More pictures and videos coming soon! Warm regards from the Land of Smile, Marc and Nong and Little Mir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
