A few weeks ago, I went to the bike rally at Bang Saen, about 45 minute ride from where I live. It's a really nice place, a small beach town. Since Thailand is a bike country, many towns vie to hold rallies, as that brings people in from all over the country, especially foreigners with cash to burn.

A Thai rally is a very different event than what you'll see in the US. Unlike the US, which consists of mostly cruisers, anything on two wheels with a motor will be represented at a Thai event.

I parked my Honda (second from left) next to my other friends' Japanese bikes and walked around to check out the scene.



Aside from the usual Harley offerings



there were some interesting characters and custom bikes









Ducati made a very strong showing





As did the Ducati Club



Anything on two wheels was represented









And no one was left behind



Of course, no rally would be complete without Triumph making a show



Everyone saddled up and took a ride around town









I really had a blast! The weather was nice, the bikes were cool and the people were great! Just a wonderful time!

That's some funny stuff. Was there a wet tshirt contest on a back lot somewhere?


It's not speeding till you get pulled over.

The topless Harley chicks were all in my room, so they were unavailable for pics.

I could have participated in the wet t-shirt contest, but I didn't want to scare the natives.

It took you guys a while to comment on the post. I was a bit bummed out that no one was interested.

And then some! Do you know how expensive cheese is in Thailand? It's 2.5x the price of the US. Hence, one gets his cheese any way one can - cottage or otherwise.

Stevie, I'm glad you liked the pics. I have pics of a ride my friend and I took to Bang Sare and Sattahip. I'll post them shortly. There are some really beautiful places around these parts.

It's true indeed. That's why a full face helmet is highly recommended.

Thanks Brent. My friend Cocoa Puffs and I are planning a trip to Bang Saen this upcoming Sunday. I'll be sure to take some pics and post them as well. It'll just be us, so the pics will be more about how the place looks, rather than rally pics.
