As promised, here are some of the best pics I have so far. More will probably pop up later in the week from other riders.

I didn't have much time to choose my shots, but there were other professionals clicking away and making movies. Once I get hold of those, I will publish them on the blog.

We had around 100 bikes this year! It was a bit chaotic at times, trying to organize things and get people moving, but in the end it all worked out. The only let down was the planned ride to the dam. We were almost there, when menacing black clouds and lightning made us change our minds. One lightning bolt was so close I could see the sparks flying! So we headed back to the starting point were we auctioned off t-shirts sponsored by Ducati Thailand and 2 helmets by Elders Helmets.

Thank you again BSJ and NormanW for the contribution! You are great guys! thumbsup.gifwai.gif

I did miss Thaiwi's Cub, though....

Yes good to meet you all, lost you on the way back BSJ, one if those nuisance Hi~Aces blocked the carriageway and by the next set of lights you were gone. Great day out!

Hi BSJ, yes home safe. Made the mistake of taking the Rayong turnoff route 7 at Laem Chabang, must be 15 kms of roadworks, dust and rough temporary roads. 2 major accidents and tailback. OK When I got to the real 7. Happy Trails.

Oh dear, is that major mess still under destruction! I'd been out to Bowin to get the wife's daughters Scoopy almost a year ago now and somehow missed the right road to come into Pattaya via Lake Maprachan and ended up down there. It was a truckpark! I ended up driving the dirt verge with potholes the size of shell craters!
