    GS Get Together - 19-21 November 2010



    GS Get Together - 19-21 November 2010 at Chulabhorn Dam


    Saw this poster up at Barcelona BKK

    I met the Thais behind this - he rides a 1100GS & she a new 650GS
    They said that all bikers & bikes are welcome and to keep an eye up on:
    http://www.bmwbikersthailand.com
    as of yet they don't appear to have posted further details [in thai].

    their facebook page
    http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=125857580771907

    and one of the organiser's Multiply site
    http://rojcocacola.multiply.com
    some very good M/C pix, many from the North...

    btw, neither had heard of GT-Riders

    Sorry to hear about your break-down & lack of support / help.
    Shocked toot that a fellow GT Rider would ride on by & not pause to see if you need assistance. I don't know who they were / are, & wonder if they are regular forum contributors?
    Take care & I guess you've made it home by now.

    Marco sorry to hear of your woes - unconscionable behaviour by the Bavarian brotherhood!
    Hope you were able to backload the panzerkamfwagon to a REME workshop for repairs.

    David I believe that Marco was most probably saying that it was "GS" and not "GT" riders who were passing him by.
    If so, par for the course considering the majority of GS owners demographic, sadly.
