Here's a bit of an update, 2 weeks ago went up to taskilek market and came across 3 shops selling motorbike gear (there is one other but couldn't find it). The shops where not to keen on me taking photo's so only got a couple, but did find some photo's on the internet to show some of what's available there. Finding these shops is not easy, there's no signs and the gear is not displayed out the front of the shop, so I've also drawn a ruff map to help out.
There is many HD jackets like these, one shop had about 40 of them, maybe a little hot for thailand.
Im sure there genuine. There was HD women's gear as well.
There was a few of these Duhan jackets, and they looked pretty trick, but again maybe to hot for thailand.
Some alpine star boots, also looked genuine and only 4500 baht. There was also a lot of alpine star pants.
There's a lot of these "race jackets", looked like good quality but only small sizes. You would pull some chicks wearing these jackets in a thai disco....... staying alive...staying alive. Had Repsol, Camel etc.
Here's the map.(copyright 2008)
The 3 shops I came across are in the red, there all clothing shops and in all cases the motor bike gear is at the back of the shop, so you cant see from the front. They all however had a small Harley Davidson flag out the front.
All these shops also sold what looked to be genuine billabong, abacombie etc surf wear.
The yellow square is not bike related, but the best DVD/CD shop I've ever seen. Look behind the clothing stand, and you'll see a small sign that says "GUITAR MAN". The most amazing selection of music DVD's I've ever seen. Most DVD,s 40 baht, and also sells box sets cheap. Has artists as far back as the fortys to today. Tell them your a GT-Rider/Rocker.
HD flag......the secret symbol.
Took this photo while walking back across the bridge to Thailand, check out how close the water is to flowing in to the restaurant.
