Hey thanks PS!

Question for Samui residents:

Me and bunch of other riders coming from Phuket on 11th and looking for nice accomodation preferably close to the beach, Chaweng that is.

Someone recommended Al's Hut and upon looking at their site it doesn't look bad at all.

Would you recommend this place? Some of our guys will be coming with wifes and girlfiends and just want to make sure place is good as advertised.

Thanks in advance.

Next weekend sees the 2nd Samui Bike Week, organised by the Samui Riders MC. Last year was the first event and was successful so this event should be bigger and better with Biker clubs attending from all over Thailand. The event is at Chaweng Lake at the Pavillion. Live Rock music on Saturday night and much more. Charity ride around the island on Saturday morning starting at Chaweng lake. My Club will have a stand there selling support T shirts and other local clubs will also be seling stuff. Come and say hello!!!!!!!!

I'd try the Laem Din Hotel, its near all the facilities and the beach and almost walking distance to the bike event, They have a good pool and safe parking for the bikes. If you book through Agoda its very cheap about 900 Baht.

I will be there with my newly formed motorcycle gang, "The Cinderetos" and my new super loud exhaust.

What a terrible poster. Designed by a thai person, not understanding the cultural reference of a monkey to westerners. And they have their club colours on the tank!!! It's the same as putting a buffalo on the bike. Quite insulting!!!

[screamingeagle]

Our Support T shirts are much better!!!

[Rooo]

Since I can't send PM's, I have removed one f the attachments.

2 topics now merged.

There's a lot of things we can't do. Is that because it's still early days on the new design and slowly things will start to open up, like being able to send PM's, see and edit my own profile etc?

There's a section in General, devoted to teething problems with the new set-up. Sounds like your problem is being worked on.

[Rooo]

We are slowly getting there.

[PoorSucker]

Bump.

Starts today.

Springer MC has Party tonight at Springer Pub.

That is a cool shirt.!

[MattCinderey]

I only managed the ride this morning due to work commitments. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though we got a bit wet!

The different bikes on show was awesome and the noise was amazing. Very enjoyable! I stopped and took a few pictures which I will post shortly... Now back to a cold server room. Yawn!

[MattCinderey]

Some snaps I took of the convoy going through Chaweng. I got ahead and snapped as they drove past.

Sorry about the bad framing it was tricky with my helmet on...

Matt.

I missed the Saturday morning ride. Recovering from Friday night....

[KTD]

The pictures are great, hope that more get posted.

Wish i could be there.

Never understood the whole biker thing.........

To me these easy riders sound horrible, just hurts your ears, why? Isn't there a way of making them quieter? Some of them do look cool, perhaps if I tried riding one I would get it, for the money of those harleys though you can get a decent car.

On the other hand......

Sports bikes, Ducati, fireblades etc, love them and they really do sound nice, on Thai roads though total suicide.

Those gold wings are funny, I saw some dude on one with a helmet on with the speakers on the outside of the helmet.........What is that about?

Most of the gold wing riders seemed to be on the wrong side of forty..... Not that there's anything wrong with that, but they do seem like the perfect midlife crises accessary.
