karlos Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martindavies Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridaguy Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 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... Right click where you want the coordinates and choose "What's here?" and the GPS coordinates will be in the search bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaguy Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridaguy Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gweiloman Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaguy Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaRacer Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 What is there to see?? How about thousands of bikes of all kind, new and old, big and small, shops, girls, like-minded people...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poanoi Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 It's primarily made up of UN-godly awful music & beer tents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haacker Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 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.
