A Day Trip To Khao Yai National Park And Wang Nam Kieaw

[BigBikeBKK]

That is a pretty cool camera setup

Would also be cool if you could face it backwards

& film the guys riding behind you from a frontal view

Cheers

Yeah, it's been a while but I did take some videos with the camera facing aft once and I thought it came out pretty good- you be the judge-

Happy Trails!

The other guys would have to slow down a whack to let him get to the front....couldn`t resist....a joke, no offence..

[samsiam]

How do you choose who goes in front...who 2nd and 3rd etc etc......is their a pecking order ? or is it the biggest baddest goes first...or a lucky draw ?

[flying]

Yeah that was quite good. Would have been better if the guys in the back were more aggressive...but your on the road not the track I know.

Also after the 1 minute mark for a little bit it looked like you had it fork mounted. Nice angle there too

Thanks enjoyed it

Yeah, mounting it down low is a cool angle, BUT, by the time I got home the lense had been more or less "sand blasted" and had to be replaced...

No rules, just out having fun; something it seems you know nothing about

What...being scared by a vigo....then taking it out on some monkies...then making a racket all through the park and peaceful countryside ??

Hmmm, ok I’m going to have to step out of character now, but I’m getting tired.

A Vigo weighs around 2 tons; if that Vigo veered across my lane i wouldn't be too happy either. As Tony said it was one of many videos he took during the day's ride and it wasn't captured and posted on T.V to show the world's scariest oncoming vehicle, you have just blown it out of proportion.

Secondly, is there a truckers’ forum on here? I ask because every truck we past drowned out our bikes, if there is you can go have a bitch on there too

[samsiam]

Not having a bitch...just stating a fact.

We live on the edge of the national park...very quiet and the noise we hear in the background the most....more than any trucks or buses or such is the gangs of so called super bikes riding up and down the road.

it should be illegal to ride something so small, yet so noise polluting...or someone should invent stick on mufflers that reduce the noise to something like a honda wave in quiet areas...in Bkk nobody gives a toss, make all the noise you want.

If you made less noise, kept your lights off during the day ..all would be good.

'kept your lights off during the day '

What's the point? All bikes sold in Thailand since 2010 have the headlights on permanently... that means they can not be turned off as they are a safety feature.. simple.

Haven't you heard, Khao Yai is Bangkok's playground. You can expect more and more bikes and ATV's and 4-wheel caravans and fortunately most Thais seem to dig loud bikes and the opinions of the odd deranged farang aren't of any consequence. Let us know which side of the part you're on and we'll try and be extra loud for ya No head lights?! How long have you been living in the jungle mate? Seems you're a bit out of touch with reality...

[BigBikeBKK]

Bonanza Circuit, just to the north of Khao Yai National Park is a beautiful (and dangerous) new track that's been more or less open for about a year now-

Despite promises from the staff, the access road remains in horrible shape... But the track is coming along and hopefully some day it will be a quality facility-

Ouch that is no good.

I am sure you have posted it when I did not frequent the forum so I will search but that whole camera setup is pretty cool.

Does a good & steady job of video capture. Not like the old helmet cam days which just had too much movement.

Outstanding member of society....no wonder you bikies....ooops....bikers....not quite up to the bikie standard are ya's just yet.....have such a poor reputation with your attitudes.

Next time you are near the park....please, look out for the big black vigo...and remember...stay left, next to the drain where you should be..

When riding solo I usually carry a small ball bearing in the back of my glove for use on road hogs and zoned out cagers. Nothing like a shattered windshield to get your attention, eh?

I'm fortunate to be on a bike- it's easy to move over and find an out. Imagine if you will that I was a tour bus and that Vigo came around the corner in my lane? What then genius?

Here's a thought fer ya...why don't you just <deleted>? It's obvious that you don't know how to ride a motorcycle, yet have decided to come onto the motorcycle forum to tell us all to ride next to the drain where we belong. I also know how to drive a pickup truck. I do not think it is that difficult to go into a curve without crossing over the lines. Apparently the other drivers in the video except for the Vigo managed to do it just fine. If this happened to me when I was on my bike going into a curve this would freak me out too. This particular Vigo managed to correct himself. You never know if the next one is going to cross straight over and hit you head on.

Thanks Sub

Really it's no big deal- ThaiVisa will always have trolls like "Samsiam" who like to whinge and complain because we're having too much fun and they are miserable.

Like I said in the video- if you ride in Thailand you have to EXPECT the unexpected. Cars and trucks crossing into your lane is an every day annoyance here in Thailand, but something you get used to and anticipate.

Happy Trails!

Tony

Is <deleted> bikie speak for I have me full leathers on now and I am well tough ??

I used to have bikes, Biggest was 750 and for sure you guys would not have been able to ride it, it was not a normal girly bike like the tin cans you see about in your gangs....but then I grew up.

Funny, back in the 80's I used to ride in LOS and just out of habit I rode with the light on during the day. Thais used to give me no end of grief over it, flashing lights, honking horns.

Finally I asked the bit of fluff why and she said it was because it wasted petrol...

Clan?! <deleted>? Am I Scottish now?

Hehehe...it's only when someone makes an accusation of being Scottish does Tony get offended.

[samsiam]

I hope you do not ride during midday with your high beam on.

See quote above...guess you guys have trouble reading too...tis understandable with the attitude you display here.

Liar. Anyone who has ever ridden a motorcycle wouldn't be spouting off such ignorance.

Really....how far did you ride the first time you rode on a road all legal and licensed like ??
