I'll be on an XJR1300 with a pillion rider.

Hiya Zzinged,

"As the crow flies" you would probably go this way:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source....943848&z=8

About 600km and Google Maps puts it at about 8.5 hours, but I'm guessing you'll do it in about 6 hours as Google Maps is always quite conservative.

See you there!

Tony

Hey Anthony... I'd love to join in with your group but I've definitely got to be in the office on Friday, so I'll be heading up on Saturday morning. Cheers!

Dude! What happened to your bike? Didn't you just get an XJR1300? Those beasts are pretty bullet proof. Hope you can get it sorted without too much difficulty. Happy Trails!

Hi Folks,

Seems as if you will be going within 5 minutes of my house in Khon Kaen, some of you on Friday and some on Saturday.   From Saraburi to Udon No 2 is a very fast open dual carriageway, with bypasses round the main towns of Khorat and Khon Kaen. The traffic tends to reduce in volume the further North you go. There will be 3 or 4 police traps along the way, but if you are a tight group you may be able to blast through together.

I am some other Khon Kaen riders will be going up to Udon from KK after lunch Saturday.

Anyone who is interested in popping in to my house for coffee, either Friday or Saturday or having lunch locally or if Saturday, meeting up to ride up to Udon please let me know.

I am happy to meet you on the main highway somewhere like Makro, Anyone interested??

Footnote, Those booked into the Irish Clock, its a great place with real beer and the best Farang food in Isaarn, also next to one of the nightlife areas of Udon.

Thanks for the tip on the police.

Four of us are staying at the Irish Clock. Glad to note that it is a great place.

See you guys there.

Ride safe.

Hi Anthony!

Just booked the last room at the Irish Clock, so we'll see you there!

Happy Trails,

Tony and Nong

Hi John,

Looking forward to seeing at the Udon Thani Bike Week! Would love to join you for lunch and a ride on Saturday, but I don't think I'll make it to Khon Kaen by lunch time. I'll be riding from Bangkok on Saturday morning with Jim (Itahilian) and we're going to go via Khao Yai National Park:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source....30899&z=12

Google maps plots it out at about 580km and estimates drive time at 9 hours. Of course, Google Maps usually overestimates drive time and I'm thinking this ride can be done in about 7 hours.

Let us know what time you'll be riding up to Udon Thani and if we can make it in time we'll join you for the ride, ok?

Happy Trails!

Tony

hey T......where's the pics of the new bike? think you need to start a new thread on the e6 a hands on review

Hi All!

I know a bunch of you are riding from Bangkok to Udon Thani on Friday and I wish you a safe and fun ride.

I'm going to ride up on Saturday morning with Jim (Ithailian) via Khao Yai National Park. If there are any other bikers that would like to join us you are more than welcome. Only requirements are that you have a reliable machine, know how to ride, and can cruise comfortably at 120km/hr and go at least 200km on a tank of gas.

Rendezvous with Jim on Sukhumvit / On Nut or on Highway 304 as indicated on this map:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source...154495&z=13

If anyone is coming from Pattaya/Chonburi/Rayong, then we can meet on Highway 319 just past Prachinburi.

Planned departure time is to be determined, but I'd like to leave as early as possible and if Jim agrees I say we hit the road no later than 0700.

Happy Trails!

hey T......where's the pics of the new bike? think you need to start a new thread on the e6 a hands on review

Dude! Tons of new pics on the ER-6n thread and also in the Lopburi Bike Week thread- check 'em out! Catch ya later! Tony

Hi Tony,

I think we will not leave Khon Kaen until around 2pm, so maybe touch base on Saturday when you are leaving Khao Yai. Its very easy to average over 100kph on the main No 2 highway, but of course going thro KY is a different matter. Either way will see you up at the event. I just posted as I am on the direct route in case a coffee break or lunch in order. Have a fun ride up John

Hi Anthony,

Per your request I tracked down a map showing the location of the Irish Clock in Udon Thani:

Hope this will be good enough for ya!

See you there!

Tony

Oh- and if you want it on Google Maps- here ya go!

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source...mc:wikipedia_en

Looking forward to another fun Bike Week!

Well done Tony.

Looks as though are most certainly the master of maps.

Much better than AntR1 guidance "go as the crow flies"

Cheers Travelmate,

You riding the Green Machine to Udon? I look forward to catching up with you guys on Saturday.

Have a safe and fun ride and see you there!

Happy Trails,

LOL! Hmmm, riding white? I'm intrigued. What did ya get? Or is it going to be a surprise? I didn't think the Triumph Tiger mas ever made in White, so must be something else... Oooh- I'm so curious! Hope it's not Anthony's white a$$! :jerk:

Burnouts and stoppies, eh? Indeed the ER-6n is the perfect hooligan bike! But I've got to pop her cherry before I let anyone else have her for sloppy seconds!
