thaicbr Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Ok guys. I found this on Mocyc.com. It seems that on Friday night it's local band night. The action starts after 16.00 on the Saturday. A band called 'SILO' and other Thai 'superstars'. Carabao (full band) will also be there it seems according to the poster Edited October 28, 2009 by thaicbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBikeBKK Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 ^ Hi Mark, It was good to meet you at the Mash Bar the other evening and I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer, but you know how it is Anyway- Bangsaen is only about 90Km from the center of Bangkok. Here's a Google Map that will take you right to the Bangsaen Bike Week: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source...308647&z=12 Should be noted that this route above is the most direct, but also the most unpleasant... Riding on the BangNaTrat road is pretty nasty especially on a Friday afternoon so if you go that way be careful! This is the way I usually go: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source...234589&z=10 It adds about 30km to the trip, but it's SOOOO much more pleasant! Anyway- if you're interested in riding down in Friday afternoon let me know. I haven't booked a hotel yet but there are quite a few within stumbling distance from the stages: A pic from last year- Ride On! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I will add for Tony he got there very early last year so the picture above is them setting up. It wasn't DIY table and chair selection :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday I will not get home from work until about 18:00 so I will might head up early Saturday morning. Does you preferred way consist of riding a bit on the Tollway? I was looking for a hotel but I guess I will wait until I get there. Hopefully I don't have to sleep along the side of the road somewhere because I am getting too old for that. I plan on returning Sunday morning. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangRon Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Wow a BangSaen Bike Week, sounds too cool ! ; hope I wont be out of place riding my new mini Thai 2010 Ninja 250R (SE)? Just found out about this bike event, made previous plans months ago for upcoming BangSaen SuperCar events Nov 27-29. My Kawasaki owners manual designates 4,000 rpm max engine speed break in for first 0 – 800 km. Guess prior to Sat I’ll have to go over to Banglamung and bar fine a sexy little skinny with a thong propped up on the back seat to take away the attention of my fat ass leisurely riding this little mini entry level sport bike around. Going to be really hard keeping the r/min down so low for this weekends road trip. If you see me about say hello. Peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKOKVLX Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 http://www.dr-bikebangkok.com/ has a good map of the Bangsaen Bike Week. Most of it is in Thai but it should give viewers an idea of the area. (map is a pop-up and should open when the site is opened) Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what time they are leaving but you can call Kawasaki at this number to find out: Tel : +66-2247 7935-38Map to Kawasaki Big Bike: Happy Trails!

RusticCharm Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) hope I wont be out of place riding my new mini Thai 2010 Ninja 250R (SE)?Well, there're many different types of bikes and bike clubs that usually attend. From Vespa (with their furry decorations, multiple lights and mirrors etc) and scooter clubs to Harleys and Superbikes. Don't worry about what you're riding.

BigBikeBKK Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Wow, good fun last night, but my head hurts Sitting in the hotel restaurant here in Bangsaen enjoying the ocean view and watching the bikes roll by. If that was a local band on the big stage last night they were dam_n good! Looking forward to Carabao tonight. And somebody needs to lock up that maniac on the ZX10R with the race exhaust.
