JohnPark Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm game. Be OK on a Z800? I'll get a tux made for it, sounds like good fun but will feel weird riding without gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the organizers in Australia would like to keep it a custom/cafe/vintage bike event, no one will be left behind. You're welcome to join!

ll2 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 ^ oh sorry, could not see that. i am interested but long time until 28th of September. is it a slow ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shurup Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yes I bet it will take them more than 30 min to get to Patts, so you may want to slow down a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1w4yR1da Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 if in Bangkok, why not?Well, you have to dress up like a 'gentleman' for one thing. No Sidis, no leathers, in fact it appears no protective gear at all. Okay I guess if they're pottering around on step-throughs, Forzas etc but on sportsbikes it'd obviously be impractical.

ttakata Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Sadly my scooter is not a distinguished ride. Pulled this from the event info. 1) Ride a motorcycle, preferably a classic, retro, bobber, chopper, custom, cafe racer. Riders with screaming 4 pot plastic rockets may also join, but have to put double effort in looking particularly distinguished. Wish I had a cafe racer. Looks like a fun ride.

OmegaRacer Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Right now you are the one we're all laughing about. :-) And besides, a gentleman doesn't feed ugly trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramds Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Apparently some people around here don't really appreciate the joys of riding a motorbike. There is much more to it then riding your inline 4 over Thai roads at 200 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaRacer Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Update: The link to the DGR forum I put in the first post is basically only for organizers. The official website will go live in 10 days, but you can already sign up now to get all the necessary infos about the ride. Also, since this is a charity ride, you'll be able to donate online there. Ideally, no money should change hands during the ride, but I'm not sure if that's feasible with our Thai friends, who might find it easier to do 'thamm bunn' the traditional way. https://www.gentlemansride.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Given it's for charity and fun, heck, if the theme was bikini's I'd wear one, maybe, seems like a good cause and some fun, Vimeo has some video's of the rides around the world, Singapore was a nice surprise.

BSJ Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I will be there with my suit on this year! Not sure what I will be riding as my big girl has an electrical fault.....and I can't find it! Yes boys and girls, it could take till the 28th of September to find out what the problem is! No, I am not slack (?????). The bike is in Pattaya and I am there only 2 weeks out of 6. But if someone knows a bike guru who can work on it I am willing to allow said guru the opportunity to 'make our day'! Well the 28th of September to be precise. PM if you know the guru's wereabouts.
