hope I wont be out of place riding my new mini Thai 2010 Ninja 250R (SE)?
Well, there're many different types of bikes and bike clubs that usually attend. From Vespa (with their furry decorations, multiple lights and mirrors etc) and scooter clubs to Harleys and Superbikes. Don't worry about what you're riding.

Wow, good fun last night, but my head hurts :D Sitting in the hotel restaurant here in Bangsaen enjoying the ocean view and watching the bikes roll by. If that was a local band on the big stage last night they were dam_n good! Looking forward to Carabao tonight. And somebody needs to lock up that maniac on the ZX10R with the race  exhaust. All the chopper guys are getting pissed because no one can hear their bikes :)
Ride On!

Following Kawasaki rules for Break-In of the new 2010 mini Ninga 250R (SE) was daunting keeping rpm low. All the same pleasurable driving had at Bangsaen beach maneuvering about traffics with a little 38Kg payload aboard. :)

Moreover seriously, Bikeweek BangSean Chonburi 2009 was an amazing experience. Thousands of distinctive, unusual, altered, plain, simple and special motorbikes jam-packed into a beach road circuit. Great positive attitude and good vibes everywhere. Carabao rocked the stage late Sat night. Hundreds of bikes still cruzing around 05:30am Sun upon my departure. Keep on rolling rolling rolling !!!   :)

I wish I could of made it but I was feeling a bit sick all weekend. Nice shot of the Ninjette BangRon. I own the same one but I haven't taken any pics of the GF on it yet.

Anyone know how many bikes were there? Hard to guess but wouldn't surprise me if there were 5000 or more. Awesome!

Yup the Mighty Tiger is hurt. Both wheels are kaput after smacking into a massive pothole on the Bangna Trad Highway.
Thus the Tiger will be out of action for some time to come.
Wonder if the insurance will cough up for aftermarket wheels. Thinking Gold Marchesini (spelling)

Feckin' BangNaTrat- nasty road, though to be honest, with all the repairs they've been doing the surface is getting better. Riding back to Bangkok on Sunday afternoon the traffic was very light and we made great time. That's crazy that a pothole bent both your wheels- Bakerboy said he ate the same pothole you did but his VFR came out unscathed. I'd have thought with the Tiger's big suspension travel that it would have faired better than the VFR. I hear they gave you a Speed Triple as a loaner while you bike is in the shop- NICE! :)

Ya Bakerboy & I discussed this, why mine failed and his went without a glitch.
We concluded possibly that my suspension settings were set to firm. And VFR was still on softer settings. Or he hit it just slightly different to get away with it.
Anyway I got another toy to play with, Triple 675!!

Great meeting you all!

Thanks for all the pix's guys.  It makes me sad on one hand, cos I wasn't there,  and happy on the other cos I know I will be there next year.

Hey Bang Ron, you got a better pix of that white full dress Wing?  We don't get the white....and it looks like it's better spec than the local offering.

Just this one, kind of blurry. It was a humming along..

It's hard to tell from that pix but I think some of the bits are from the factory accessory catalog.   They look smick in white or black but the new ones here are either an OK silver or a not so OK blue.    Maybe the well healed can order another colour.

Ironically took pics of a white goldwing in Laem Chabang. Think it might be same one that was cruzing around Bangsaen bike week.  I do not know much about these sweet rides, though always have dreamed of owning one.
