Bang Sean Bike Week 2-3Rd November

[karlos]

I know there's a dedicated thread for bike events, but this is the big one and it would be nice to get as many people along as possible. I don't often check the bike events thread myself, so having this here should make people aware of this event

I'll be heading down on Saturday afternoon and intend to stay there well into the evening, perhaps we could get a little convoy from Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi / Bang Na Trat up and running

Do you have gps coordinates?

[karlos]

Here's a link to google maps as to where the bikes will mostly be. http://maps.google.c...z=15&via=1&z=15

I'm not sure how to pull gps coordinates off of Google maps...

Will you be staying there mate or riding home in the evening?

I'll have to double check the dates with the missus but if all is ok I'm defiantly up for it.

Cheers

[karlos]

I for one will be riding back in the evening

Right click where you want the coordinates and choose "What's here?" and the GPS coordinates will be in the search bar.

I will definitely be going, just don't know when, but will probably overnight there. I make the run to Bang Saen beach quite often. It is a quick blast from Bangkok, great little back roads around there, just don't hit a monkey if you go by the Chinese temple.

[BSJ]

I'd like to go. If the GF has to work I have to take her to work, if not we will be there. Should be interesting.

[dagling]

Will be there for sure...

[floridaguy]

Sounds like a few of us going, maybe we should try to arrange a meeting time and place. I for one haven't met a fellow TVer before, so don't know what you look like!

[loserlazer]

why not?

do they accept cbr250?

[BSJ]

If you see one of these, and there ain't many in LOS, you know I am there somewhere!

All bikers are welcome brother

Bring the family

Watch out for the police

And most importantly, drive carefully

See you there!

After watching this, maybe a pre-established place would be better!

[Gweiloman]

Can someone enlighten me as to what's to do / see at such bike weeks? I've never been to one before but looking at the video above, wonder whether it's worth the hassle?

[floridaguy]

Well I guess instead of hanging out at a pub with people who may not share your interests, you can hang out and have a beer with thousands who like motorcycles like you do. That video is just getting to the place. Here is a video of some examples of what happens during the event:

[OmegaRacer]

What is there to see??

How about thousands of bikes of all kind, new and old, big and small, shops, girls, like-minded people...?

Fair enough. Anyone here organising a ride from Bkk?

[poanoi]

It's primarily made up of UN-godly awful music & beer tents.

[OmegaRacer]

haha I can agree with the music part. Nothing wrong with beer tents though

[BSJ]

Can a reformed alcoholic get a soda water there?

[deadman]

About 40 kilometers.

[poanoi]

Now we are talking !

Is it just north of Sri Racha ?

[floridaguy]

there is a map link on the first page

[BSJ]

Now we are talking !

Is it just north of Sri Racha ?

The first 35km is easy going, but you will need refreshments for the last 5km....and a packed lunch!

[biker Bob]

Now we are talking !

Is it just north of Sri Racha ?

Yes, about 15 lilometers north of Sri Racha.

Hay guts, i am a old <deleted> that is retired in Thailand. I just bought my old lady a new F1 Honda. For some reason my old lady is giving a hard time when i say i want to buy a bike of my own. Question number one is: Can i buy a bike in Thailand in my own name? I have owned 5 Honda's over my life. My last one was a Honda Shadow, 500cc. I loved that bike. I would not mind having another one. I am sure that i can not buy a 1986 Shadow here in Thailand. If i could, i would have to pay some big buck's. As i am 6'1." The Thai style of a motor bike dose not work with my body size. Question number two is. Do any of you know of a bike i can buy here in Thailand. That is much like the Honda i mentioned above? Please, do not give me the old bullshit about just Google it. I have lived in Thailand for 7 years. The people of Thailand do not advertise much on the internet. That is why i am coming to Expat's for info. Turn me on.
