Tony Bkk,

Thanks for the road info.

Don't know if I'll make Bangsaen but I've got your number and if I get there I will call you. If not see you in Chiang Mai.

TonyBKK,
I didn't see your post until now,I had a good trip, rode with my local Thai 'gang',took forever getting there. they're very unorganised but a real good group of people.
I didn't get a patch but got a t-shirt , how bout you, any luck?I should start a thread but it seems so trivial

KHUNDAN,

How's it going? Only 2 more sleeps till we hit the road! I'm really looking forward to it.

Would you be willing to move the 0700 rendezvous point from the Siam Beverly Hotel across the road to the Emerald Hotel?

I ask because the Beverly will have us pointed in the wrong direction (south) and will require us to u-turn to head north on Ratchadapisek and many of us will be coming north on Ratchadapisek anyway, which would require more u-turns.

It's really not a huge deal, but it would save us a few minutes and help us escape the big smoke and Friday am rush hour more quickly.

I started a thread on ThaiVisa too:

I think day 1 was pretty fun apart from a few mishaps...

the ninja on its side was unfortunate but am glad everyone was ok

great blast up the highway to Chiang Mai... Anthony and Andrew on their bikes were amazing. Andrew dressed in full leathers is used to riding track and so blew us out of the water zig zagging traffic at crazy speeds. I know where they get the expression "born to ride" from now. I will join Andrew at the track the next time he gets out there to practice some skills and hopefully not kiss the tarmac.

So anyway i didnt take alot of photos and at the bike week my attention span for bikes was pretty low as their were so many pretty girls around i decided to take some snapshots of them instead... heres just a few
