Just wanted to say well done and thanks to the contributors to this project.. Its really taken shape and while I would like it to have better contact detail for the businesses listed on some submissions its a great starting point.

Hello all contributors,

I've gone in and placed everything in alphabetical order., as I was noticing a lot of double or even triple entries throughout the listing. t was also driving me crazy trying to find stuff easily.

For anyone adding to the directory, it is real simple whilst in edit mode to drag and drop your placemark in alphabetical order.

I haven't deleted any of these extra entries as they may have pertinent information (GPS info etc) which will be Incorporated into one placemark when I get time.

Placemarks that are not motorcycle related are gone eg: Department of Consular Affairs (caveat if they are selling, repairing, making anything related to a motorcycle please let me know, motorcycle parking doesn't count).

Have a great riding day.

regards,
Garry

Just to add, I have noticed some placemarks that say absolutely nothing in the info block or heading about what is there: mechanic, specialty shop etc. Please be somewhat informative on why you are contributing your placemark or it will get deleted

Thanks, Garry

In Bangkok

Prasong has moved & so has Wit ; who now calls his shop Fastest Bikes 4000

Khun Wit is here: (right next to Krung Sri bank).

Wit Motorsports

I use him for new chains, overhauling front forks & all the usual stuff.

He told me he will get any bike from Japan; takes about 3 weeks. add 80,000 for a plate. (1000 cc).

Relatively new to CM and just looking around myself, so don't have exact addresses, but have seen them at 3 places.  One located on the Charoen Muang road between train station (same side) and superhighway.  Stopped by the other day and they had several of the LF200GY-5A Cross, a couple of the LF250-B cruisers, and some scooters.  Saw some at another shop on Kaew Nawarat rd, can't remember if it was before or after the bus station coming from the SH.  Just noticed while passing by and saw a couple 200 Cross sitting toward the front. There is also a shop in Pantip Plaza, which may be related to one of the others, that had a couple of the 200 cross and some scooters, but don't remember seeing a 250 cruiser there.  At the first 2 mentioned, they had stock as of yesterday which I saw while driving a friend around to get parts for his truck.

Hi Gary
I bought some Dunlop tyres from K Pairoj at Big Bendum tyres and got excellent service with a large choice of brands available.

He speaks good English and they kept me supplied with that ice cold weak Chinese tea for which I was grateful as it was a very hot day and I had just ridden 385km to gt there.

I was very impressed by the service and helpful staff and asked the guy actually doing the tyre change if he would set the pressure to 30 psi instead of the normal 50 or so that you get from most places. He did and they also replaced the inflation valve with a 90 degree angle chrome plated one for an extra 100 baht.

His shop is actually at

22 Karakkadakhom 5 road and Santhipap road very close to the roundabout.

GPS is

N  13.44536
E 100.30760

Always  nice to read of good feedback about the palcemarked shops. I'll see if there is a good rep function in google maps.

Phuket britbike (aka motorcycleworld phuket) triumph dealer absolutely misplaced its almost on the one road with robinson, but appears at one point with tpmotorcycles at map

[Kwarium]

I think some users may inadvertently drag the placemarks when clicking them in edit mode. Very easy to do if you aren't zoomed in. I've corrected a few that I originally added in the correct spot! I just added a little Bike Paint shop in Bangkok who will do 'factory look' or custom paint.

Yeah they used to be out on the bypass rd before they moved.. I am off the island now so dont know where the new shop is.

The beauty of the map solution tho is the place can be corrected.
