Hey all,

I had so much fun this past weekend at the Nonthaburi Bike Rally that I'm really looking forward to hitting another rally soon.

According to Ride Thailand Magazine there's an event taking place this coming weekend: "October 11Th Black Devil Group Chonburi"

That's all it says so I don't know exactly where it's going down and I've thus far been unable to find any info online (probably cuz I can't read Thai :o )

A friend in Chonburi says he knows of a group getting together near Bang Saen on Sunday, but perhaps this is a different event...

Anyone know anything about a rally this coming weekend in Chonburi? Who wants to go?

Took the VMAX for a little run to Bang Saen yest. Went to monkey mountain (Monkey hill more like).

We parked & walked into a newish seafood place. This was sitting in the driveway.

The owner asked me if I went to some bike meet-up on Saturday. I think he said it was at Diana Driving Range - Soi Diana.

Anyway sweet single cylinder - twin front DRUM brakes - single rear. I asked him if it was LOUD? He assured me it was. I believe him.

Not sure if anything went down on Saturday, but I stumbled across a very fun event on Sunday-

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:

You can tell a lot of these guys get their custom pipes done by one master:
