Yeah I think we can. Only issue I have to deal with is whether my new ER6f will be here and properly plated and greenbooked in time. The Sepang MotoGP is October 25th. The ER6f was rumored to be released in late July, but it will likely be later. But I'm hopeful I can get everything squared by late October. Otherwise I might rent something if it's possible to ride it into Malaysia.
I've been to MotoGP in the states once. Rode to that one too on and R6. Very fun. Now to have the chance to ride across Thailand and Malasia to see the penaultimate GP contest in a tight season! I wouldn't miss it!  I am in Phuket so those coming from the north of me I will have to meet in Krabi or something. We need to get RusticCharm to lead us. He did it last year, check it out: http://www.thaivisa....ti-t219714.html SB Edited by Scubabuddha, 2009-06-30 00:58:55. #5

My picture..yes..the person IN the picture is my GF. I remember once in the states I saw a large group of street bikers go by, and "driving" two of them were the cutest looking little asian girls. I wasn;t sure how they could even touch the ground! Mmmm. Unfortunately my GF won't even drive the Honda Wave anymore since a dog ran out infront of her and she came off. #9

The ER6f was rumored to be released in late July, but it will likely be later. But I'm hopeful I can get everything squared by late October. The ER6f (branded the Ninja 650R in N. America) is going for the unbelievable price of "somewhere between 225,000 baht and 280,000 baht" We are all thinking it will be in the 245,000 range because it is only being sold with ABS in Thailand, and the naked version, ER6n is sold for 225,000 baht with no ABS. The thread on the ER6f is here: http://www.thaivisa....r6-t244829.html How much were the R6 and R1? SB Attached Files

I love to hear that used comparable bikes (at least in the case of the R6) are nearly twice a new ER6f. And look at the two Enduro's. A Kawasaki KLX250 is 149,000 new.

I'll leave it to ScubaBuddha to update the name list but 8 in a few days is pretty good.
Just under 4 months to go though. Will be interesting to eventually see who actually does ride down. Edited by RusticCharm, 2009-07-02 16:35:54. #15

Right - just sent an email requesting to use the logo for our site to try and see if we can get more ppl interested in the ride and event.. We have a few MC's we keep in touch with that are really keen on the trip (some from overseas - a few are relocating to here and shipping the bikes over)... not sure how long it will take them to do that - but at least the interst is there...4 from the US, 2 from Belgium...)

Ok I will keep checking here as time goes on. And FYI RusticCharm says tickets are much cheaper at the door and plenty of them will be available, so no need to pre-order.
