Bangkok Bike Fest 2009

[fatbastard68]

Hey Chris! Yeah it's been a while,working alot and staying close to home for now.

If I'm gonna enjoy having a few beers, then I'll leave the bike at home,plus it's the perfect place for them to check bike regs, I'm paranoid about this ......can't wait til I have it all sorted out so I can go anywhere I want.

[BigBikeBKK]

Hey Guys!

Does anyone know if these event is going to run like most Thai Bike Weeks where it's pretty quiet during the day and starts rocking after dark? Any bands and beer gardens and coyotes or is this just a day time 'family' event?

Happy Trails!

Hmmm that may make staying over worthwhile...

[twk]

well ,lets get a list going of what members will be there ..................we could meet up for a few beers .what ye reckon ????

Hi Barry, i will be there during the complete weekend. Any idea for meeting would be appreciated.

Greetings, Tom

[a_classic_cigar]

From what I can gather from the site it appears to be a regular show & sell... A few events planned - loads of sales and picts to be taken (not to mention the bevies at the beer tent!)

Ok - so I just come to realize that I am NTO working on Friday (as many are not - Thai Holiday! Nice!)

So - who is meeting on what days! (Side note: A Superbike group is running to Kanchanaburi Sat - back on Sunday....)

Chris I tried calling you twice this afternoon

[kez172]

[fatbastard68]

Cool, glad you caught that

[Pdaz]

Dunno what time it starts but I will be browsing around after midday... Prolly be by the Ducati stand.. I'm a tall good looking sort if ya wanna say hello

[Netfan]

Looks like I can get by Friday early afternoon- I'll look for ya Daz. I will also make the Ducati run on Saturday - thanks for the info on that Terry....

[kez172]

not too bad worth a look, less than expected. stunt show was alright. but some nice bikes all the same...

[Familyonthemove]

Went today ....... was that it?

[biker Bob]

I was thinking about going today, is it worth it?

[Netfan]

I'm guessing today will be more exciting than yesterday, The problem is its spread out around the mall, so you're never sure if you've seen it all- yesterday it was something cool at the mall more than a special trip in kind of thing. Unless you are meeting up with friends. If you are looking for gear it is definetly worth the trip. Panda shop is there they have some great deals on helmets. Dirt shop was there, and a couple of other places selling boots, jackets, gloves, but i didnt see Paddock or Fast Corner. There are some nice bikes to look at- including new Kawasaki Er6 and 250 Ninja- they looked like they were getting a lot of attention (btw, we were told its now 3 month wait for the Er), Nice Harley display. Some nice older bikes on display M900 Monsters, HD's. Yeah, its worth it.
