Hua Hin Bike Week to feature 5,000 big bikes this weekend

 

 

Big bikes ridden by both Thais and foreigners will converge on Hua Hin this weekend for the 11th Hua Hin Bike Week.

 

The event is being billed as a show of allegiance to the beloved departed King Bhumibol.

 

Highlight will be a gathering of 5,000 bikers at the Rachaphak Park on Saturday for a candlelight vigil.

No mod exhausts i pressume?.....

[Ratcher]

Nearly all the bikes will have modified exhausts (loud) I still have a big bike and had several other big bikes here including a Harley Street Glide. I met a policeman in a motorcycle shop when I was having new pipes fitted to the Harley. He had a Harley Street Glide too. My wife took a picture of us both and he gave me his phone number. He said if I was ever in Kalasin snd got stopped by the police to show the cop the picture and to phone him. It's all down to who you know. Plenty of cops with big bikes and loud pipes in Thailand.

How does organising a disruption to the general public by a bunch of bike riders qualify as a show of allegiance to the beloved departed King Bhumibol?

You are brainwashed by the media and insurance companies. Helmets can be dangerous at high speeds due to the added weight and the natural weakness of the neck. Helmet use should always be a personal choice. But insurance companies figured out the fewer people that ride the more money they make. And well intentioned but misinformed people like you have a habit if using the force of the state to make people do what you want.

Only empty heads like to use the force of the state to impose their will on others.

"Hey Toyota tom..."   ?

Hey, Daihatsu dyke, I bet it will be more of a road block than anything else. 

 

Thanks for the gratuitous advice but I am perfectly able to make arrangements for avoiding hassle without your input.

I take it you don't like bikes,fun and tourist who come and boost the local economy of hua hin.why don't you try living up here in udon,we've a 3-4 lane ring road,very little tourism and we never laugh,oh one problem though we hate strangers coming to town and blocking the roads in their toyotas.

The event was a blast last year.  If you haven't tried it pop over as all riders, walkers and drivers are welcome.

"I take it you don't like..."

Take what you like.   What's your apparent obsession with Toyotas that you're directing towards me and keep bringing up in a thread about nuisance bike riders?

 

"why don't you try..."

Why don't you try using the space bar?
