Doi Yao VF ? . Interesting. Didn't know that. Yao as in the people ? . I always thought they were Hmong up there.

If it wasn't VF at the thingamijig then maybe it was a Tellitubby and not a Ninja Turtle

My understanding is that the mountain top village is called Phaya Phipak. Don't know why the villagers here call it Doi Yao but it is a very 'long' mountain range from this vantage point. Perhaps that could have something to do with it. I'll have to ask around.

New's to me, but then again a group of us are just back from a two week bike trip to Laos, but a bike party would be a great idea in CR before the holiday.

Dates anyone ??

Listed on GT Rider etc as 13th Dec 2010 and also confirmed by my Sis in law who lives in Chiang Rai. But no other details. Maybe only Phantom(s)?

This same meet was listed last year as well and to the best of my knowledge, nothing came of it. I know several who were interested then but no confirmation info was available. Maybe it will really happen this time??????

Even though sis-in-law also mentioned it if you people who regularly walk the streets of CR are unaware and this is an annual non event

I would be tempted to ask all our pig farmers TV readers out there whether the pigs are fed, engines revved and ready to fly?

Thanks for your feedback Kandahar

Went round to see Khandahar today. thought he'd been a bit quiet lately.

Appears his wife is expanding her 'Saddle Bags' Business.

Anyway, Sounds like she is looking to supply other Motorcycle type accessories. Body Armour , jackets, Pants etc..

She had some Bluetooth Motorcycle Helmet Headsets. The Box says, Bike to bike Intercom Talk. connectivity options:-

Mobile phone, GPS Voice instructions, Built in FM radio. Listen to your MP3 player.

You can talk to another rider upto 500 metres away apparently.

I bought one at 3400 baht. Sounds like a very good price. I haven't had chance to check it out yet but I thought of you Guys . Maybe you have one already !?

Honestly not knocking what is being sold but most bike to bike intercoms a good for at least a kilometer. Interested in the Body Armour & Jackets...might save me a trip to the border

Honestly Garry ? . I've only seen 100m and 500m sets on the net. I must admit I haven't done a lot of searching.

I always thought Bluetooth was a short range system by design. Anyway, 500m is far enough away for me.

Do you have one ? Have you used one ?

I'm interested in trying it out.

Hi Jubby, glad you asked. I'm not normally a fan of bluetooth for that type of range until recently. Have I used bike intercoms, yes but mine were radio type and good for over a kilometer or so due to the low power output restrictions many a year ago in Australia. The wind noise deadening microphone technology is quite advanced nowadays. Have I got one now, no. Though, if I were to have a change of heart with Bluetooth, I would definitely get the Scala rider G4 . This is a very advanced system.

From their website:

The scala rider G4 redenes the notion of high-end communication for motorcycle helmets. Encased in a rugged yet streamlined body, the scala rider G4 Motorcycle Bluetooth headset offers Bike-to-Bike Intercom at a remarkable range of up to ONE MILE!

The G4 Motorcycle Bluetooth headset also features unique 4-way Intercom between two bikers and two passengers or 3-way Intercom among three separate bikers.Multi Device Connectivity, including mobile phone, A2DP(Bluetooth stereo), FM radio with RDS, intuitive button controls, wire connectivity to iPod/ MP3 player, and much more, make the G4 the world's most feature rich communication and entertainment device for bikers.

Do you have a price for that one Garry. Looks very nice, but Very expensive .

This one I have has a remarkable resemblance to the Scala Q2. remarkable resemblance.

500 meters will be enough for me Garry, any further may as well be Solo (or on a Ducatti)

Set of two 419.95 Euro

Single unit 239.95 Euro

got the Q2 on there. I paid half the price. happy bunny

That's a steal at half price jubby. I would buy two Q2's for that price and they've a 700 meter capability.

Gary When are you going to get this bad boy. Brutal looking, in a good way.:jap:

Ducati Diavel doesn't float my boat mate.

Garry, did we miss a get-together while you were home? I was looking forward to a biker lunch. Maybe we'll have to have one without you?

Apologies mate, I've been meaning to call you (I will). The usual excuses of sidetrcked being dad and helping mum take care of our new daughter. Been busy with the Ducati today, as I broke it. Rear sub frame broke clean through. I'm taking the sub frame in to get repaired (hopefully). It's thin walled alloy tubing, so I hope the guy can do it, without blasting holes through it. Fortunately it is only the 999 that is broken and not me. Luckily Ducati can be quickly pulled apart. I had everything off in about 15 minutes.

Sorry to hear the ol' bike is breaking. Looks like it is a part that you could just order in and replace.

Maybe you can make the potluck with your family. Some of the biker gang will be there, I suspect.

maybe they can put a sleve inside before they weld it.

Some sort of stress fracture !? Are the Shocks in good order ?

The bike is fine guys and as mentioned parts are repalceable if need be and the suspension is fine. It's just stress cracked and broke. It's at the welders today to get TIG'ed and strengthened. This is a common trait of alloy subframes, not just on Ducati's. It's just that V-Twin's are more prone to accelerating the problem due to low frequency harmonics. In other words, V-twin's shake the sh&t out of everything

Thats good to hear Garry.

If your looking for a tougher bike that isn't usually overcome by low frequency Harmonics, I've got a Phantom for sale.

:cheesy: :cheesy:

I'm sure Garry will find the offer Hilarious Too. Won't be seen Dead on a phantom me thinks . Or Alive

I suspect he's busy fending off critics on the Bike section of the forum.

Didn't he once say he was ex-navy !?

....... and we haven't heard from the Swedish Biker Mafia on here for a while..

I'm speechless !

You inferring I'm Illegitimate or summat

I would never call you a bastard Jubby. :jap:

I received the sub frame back today. Looks fine, perfectly aligned. The guy did exactly as requested. Internally strengthened with alloy tubing. I'll reassemble the bike first thing in the morning.
