Went along to the new Panda Rider showroom today. Wow very nice and very well stocked and good service.
Khun Siam fixed my Schuberth helmet so its like new again.
Interesting pice of technology I also bought. It a specific water absorbing, evaporative cooling undergarment called HyperKewl. Soak it in water for 2-3 minutes wring it out put in on and its supposed to help cool you for 6-12 hours.
We wet it at the shop and I rode it back in Bangkok traffic going the long way around so I could get on the Ramhankeng bridge road where I could put on a bit of speed and check it out and yes it works very very well Really notice the difference, doesn't feel clammy or wet but definitely lower temps. Would be brilliant under body armour for off road stuff as well I imagine.
At speed I could really feel the cooling affect of it.. its a vest that you wear over your t-shirt and under your jacket. Big thumbs up thus fa.
Panda Roder shop is excellent, they even have a DIY workshop set up where you can install racks and parts that you buy...
Khun Siam has done a good job with this and took allot of time and care to fix my helmet up to brand new ( well almost)
The map on the Panda Rider website shows the new location, easy to find and plenty of parking... complimentary soft drinks is a nice touch as well.
