BMW HP 4 (Bangkok)

[TheGingerPrince]

Recently took ownership of a 2014 HP 4 comp - just waiting for the weather to pick up (too much rain and I am a fair weather rider)

Anyway, I wondered if there are any BMW Riders clubs or other HP 4 owners in and around Bangkok that go out on runs occasionally.

Appreciate any info....

What sort of riding do you do? Do you only ride with other BMW's or will you ride with riders on other bikes?

Happy to go where the wind goes - not worried about types of bikes, just getting out there to be honest

I thought they were going pretty slow to be honest hahah

Here's a 'steady' run I did to Pattaya a few weeks ago, just testing out the Go Pro and the bike - getting the feel for both.

Good to hear. Are you in Bangkok? Or somewhere else in Thailand?

Why do you aim the camera on the bike not on the road?

Yeah, a little disconcerting. I kept wanting to "scroll up." But otherwise, a nice vid!

Yeah fair point - I did write on the You Tube Description;

"First time trying out my Go Pro on a quick run to Pattaya - need to find a better place to put it...."

So practice makes perfect - will try a different place next time.

On 1 September 2001 Germany met England during the qualifying stages of the 2002 World Cup, at the Olympiastadion in Munich. England won the game 5–1, abetted by a hat-trick from England striker Michael Owen. All of the England goalscorers were Liverpool players.

Also you shouldn't cut the video too much can't get any feeling of your riding. Did you speed it up at the end?

btw. I am not 100% sure but when was the last time England won the word cup?
