Who's Going To Baan Saen Bike Show At The Weekend

[thaicbr]

Hi guy's who's going, what on, where from and what time.

I'm going but have to work on Saturday until lunchtime so leaving Nakhom Pathom about 12.30.

should get there about 3.30 i think, but not really sure best way around Bangkok.

See you there. Allan

Saturday is usually the main day.. Lts of bikes there by midday.. then more arriving all afternoon. usually a ride out in the afternoon followed by a concert in the evening. Sunday is usually just packing up as most bikes head home early.. This is what has happened the last couple of year that I have attended.. But maybe different this year so if anybody has better info please correct me.. I'm planning to ride up there from Pattaya Saturday morning and hang around for the afternoon.. may stay for the music depending on who's playing and the weather..

Hi All!

Just to clarify, this year's Bang Saen Bike Week is on Friday and Saturday:

I'll be there on Friday for sure, but unfortunately can't make it on Saturday. Hope to see you there.

Ride safe and happy trails!

[Bard]

Will be there, Driving my car though since my lovely daughter want to join, plus the ball and chain.

Cheers Bard

Bard get the wife to drive and you ride cos i want to check out ya bike....ok

[BigBikeBKK]

Yeah Bard! I agree with Allan 110%!

You can't go to the Bike Week without your bike!!!

My wife is going to drive with my son (if she's in the mood... ) and I'm riding down on the Ninjette.

Hope you can do the same and look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers

Traded in the Monster for the new 848. The Monster was good but the 848 is in a different class entirely.

[davethailand]

Think i'm gonna leave about 5pm with East Coast Choppers from Jomtien.

[thaicbr]

I'm busy trying to get my CBR250 ready for the run.

New ducktail (cbr600 looky). service engine, check every thing is bolted down properly and try and tune the dam_n carbs to get rid of the flat spot. Oh and work two jobs so busy, busy.

Any one have an easy bike friendly way around Bangkok from OM NOI. Nakhom Pathom.

Thanks Allan

[Bard]

OK guys let me see what I can do with the wifey , when are you guys there? Friday? What time to meet up? Meet at Laem Tong mall is an easy place, what do you guys think? If I drive my bike I will go up route 7, anyone from Pattaya or Rayong who want to join the ride let me know.

Tony and Allan are you driving back again same day? Or are you down for the weekend, could do Bira or just some fun or do some driving in tranquil landscape around the Eastern Seaboard if you like. Give me a bell if you want to lax from yellow shirts with clappers in a safe haven.

Cheers Bard

[BigBikeBKK]

I wish I could make both days Bard but I've got a meeting in Bangkok on Saturday that I can't reschedule

Though the folks I'm to meet with are flying into Swampyboom on Friday, so if the Yellow shirts continue their airport seige maybe I'll get lucky and have Saturday free if the airport remains closed

I've only been to Bangsaen once and that was a couple of weeks ago for the speed festival:

Not sure where the Laem Tong Mall is, but I'm sure I can track it down.

Allan- have you ever tried skirting around the Big Mango on the 346 (Rangsit/Nakhon Nayok)? Or another decent way to avoid downtown is the 302 (Rattanathibet-Kaset Nawamin) then left on Thanon Nawamin (Route 2022) and right on Ram Intra (Route 304) which turns into Suwintawong and will take you all the way to Chacheongsao like this:

If you go that way let me know as you'll pass by my house on Suwintawong just past Min Buri and we can ride together from there. The 304 to Chachoengsao and 315 to Phanat Nikhom are fast roads with nice scenery and little traffic. Much much better that that terrible truck infested Bang Na-Trat road!

Happy Trails!

[Bard]

OK finally my better half will sit in the back of my Ninja , my lovely daughter will stay over with a friend so I'll be there with the bike thank God so I'm not meeting up as a moron in a car

Laem Thong is easy second take off to Bang Saen beach almost at the beach is Laem Thong, just before the beach starts at Pattaya end, can't miss it.

What time would suit the gents?

Cheers Bard

[Bard]

To bad if you can't stay down Tony, I ordered loads of lobsters, crabs, prawns, beer and BBQ meat for you and your family I got the second house serviced up and for Allan my guest room in my living house is ready. Well maybe the yellow mellows ruin your meeting... If not we'll do it next time.

Cheers Bard

[thaicbr]

ok Bard i will probably take you up on that ride out as sunday is my free day. still working on the CBR the ignition switch went awol yesterday so my Thai mechanic is going to customize a sonic switch to fit. got me new sporty modern tail on it today. carbs tmoro. we stripped it down and WHAT a mess they made of tuning the carbs before. still gonna try and get sorted ..........if not i'm coming on the 150

see ya all saturday afternoon (working friday night)

Tony tell ya people to come next week cos its still going to be chaos saturday. then get ya self down on saturday afternoon we can ride down together if i can get other to you

[Bard]

That is a plan Allan see you there mate, you got my mobile so give a bell and we'll meet up.

Great weekend ahead will be fun.

Cheers Bard

[BigBikeBKK]

Well maybe the yellow mellows ruin your meeting...

Yippee! Thanks to the PAD's antics at Swampyboom my meeting is cancelled; I'm FREE for the whole weekend!

So- Bard, was that an invitation to for me to bring my family to your house? That would be great! If I've misunderstood no problem- I'm sure we can find a decent hotel in Bangsaen. Anyway- my missus has been in a mood lately, so there's also a chance I might ride down solo, which would be JUST FINE by me!

Shall we plan to meet tomorrow afternoon at Laem Thong? I think I can get there by ~2 or 3 in the afternoon if that suits you.

Cheers!

Tony

Anyone going from Bangkok on Friday late afternoon?

[Netfan]

Nice 848! Going down Saturday morning on my GT- planning on leaving around 9.00 - probably taking it slow though as have GF on back.

[BigBikeBKK]

Hi Rustic- We're planning on riding down from BKK early afternoon- going to take the scenic route:

304 to Chachoengsao to 315 to Panat Nikhom to Bangsaen-

Give a call if you'd like to ride down together.

Hi Rustic- We're planning on riding down from BKK early afternoon- going to take the scenic route:

I think you're well north of me and the only way I think I can get to Minburi is up Ramkhamhaeng Road which I remember as being a bit of a nightmare.

I'm going into Thonglor first to pick up the reg and no. plate. Leaving Samut Prakan 3.30 ish so I may hit traffic. I have two options, either BangNa-Trat( ) or up Suk Soi 77 and onto the no.7 Bangkok-Chonburi Motorway.
