Motorcycle Gear In Bkk

[Surfing Spleen]

Does anyone know where to buy motorcycle leathers, riding boots, etc. in Bangkok? I don't mean leathers for a night on the town but actual padded motorcycle racing gear such as 1 and 2-piece suits for those times when you hit the pavement over 100 mph. Also, are there any motorcycle racetracks anywhere in Thailand?

Thanks!

Try Siam Super bike,Red Baron and Siam Speedway for gear. The whole country is a racetrack!

Dont forget to get the vented leathers.I reckon you would roast in normal ones.

Ps Theres a racetrack near Pattaya (about 10 miles out I think)that do a lot of trackdays.

Near a hospital too,for those sky,ground,ambulance moments

I use to buy all the gear in Singapore because they are cheaper, or in my homecountry in Europe.

Alpinestars?? So I guess you are looking for dirtytracks not for speedtracks!! In this case there are some in BKK but I do not know where they are.

I moved my bike to Malaysia and 2 times a month I fly to KL/Sepang and with about 25$ I can enjoy a full day in Sepang ...... all my friends are there, in Europe is impossible to run on a MOTOGP race track and if you can, the costs is about 50$ for a session of 25 minutes!!!

In Sepang you pay, you enter and only when the track closes you leave.

So if you really have passion for speed and want to join us, just pm me.

ps. In Sepang I have a 996 updated to 998 specs, and "home made" racing pipes, don't let me think at my BABY, otherwise I get the plane today

I just read in the Bangkok post they're building a huge new race track in Chon Buri. Will seat 60000 fans initially (will open in 2006) then 80000 the year after. Can't wait!!! The article said it will be a "world class" track...so does that mean formula 1??? Anyways, should be amazing, can't wait!

You can also try this place. I ordered a helmet from them and they sent it to me in Phuket. They were very efficient and friendly.

I don't suppose any one knows where I can get a helmet by either Bell or Pyrotect?
