Hi Franz, Suggest that we meet at the Offshore Bar at 8.30am for breakfast. Its not on the beach but in Ban Chang's strip of bars (famous if you know it). Approaching Ban Chang from the North on 3376 you take right fork (turn) off 3376 and follow the soi for about 500m, you come directly into Ban Chang strip and its the 1st Bar on the right. They have a big sign painted on the wall. If you miss the Right Fork off 3376 you will find yourself at the intersection with Sukhumvit 3 Highway, U-Turn and take 1st small soi to the left which leads you back into the strip. Turn right at T junction and Offshore bar will be last bar on the left. Call me if any problems. Craig.

Sounds good.

Marco give me a ring when you get into town and I'll come meet you.

We can plan when to leave the next morning for breakfast in Banchang and meet Franz and Craig.

Craig, Peter, many thanks for your replies, so 08:30 on Sunday 14th it is at Offshore Bar in Ban Chang. I will take with me 2 Thai riders on their older 750's (Honda CB and Yamaha Fazer - the one with the strangely forward angeled cylinders....). Should then be in Pattaya at 10:00 because that's the time of the opening ceremony or we skip that part.......

Marco, once you're on the 304 and then on the 331 please give me a ring as I live in Bowin on the 331, where's a lot of roadwork going on and the traffic's a nightmare........you're invited for some drinks if you find the time for a stopover.

Cheers, Franz

Well, this was again a nice ride, only with some "minor" glitches. We were:
Peter (Dougal) on his Fazer 1
Craig-Esib on his R1200GS
Khun Thawee on his vintage Harley Electra
Ngoh on his vintage CB750
Ed on his ZX9
Franz on the FJR

It all started in Ban Chang at a nice place called Offshore Bar with a real good and plentiful breakfast at 08:30. We all met there although it meant for some of us getting up as early as 06:30 and this on a Sunday !!!! Ouch. But luckily the weather was fine and the sun shone on us lucky 6.
(Just for the record, Thawee and Peter came late and quarreled about who was the real late one.......) :lol:

Luck was not on our side this time as when we wanted to leave, the Kawa-ZX9 of Ed refused to start, so Thawee & Peter pushed him and finally he got it running. So we agreed to detour and go to Rayong-Klaeng and then maybe on to Chantaburi on the 36. At our first petrol stop, I did the "run" start with Ed and off we went. Soon there were only 4 of us, Harley and CB750 missing, so we waited and waited and waited, exceptions are the rule was proofed to us as the Harley showed up and the reliable Honda was somewhere dead on the road.
Now it was really time to go to Rayong's famous mechanic Chang Jorn. First to get Ed's electrical problems fixed. During our a little longer than expected repairshop visit, Ngoh got his friend picking him and his beloved CB750 up and bring it to the shop for MAJOR electrical overhaul.

Battery was charged so Ed could go back to his home in Ban Chang and try to get the needed spares at Red Baron today. Some molten cables were replaced but he didn't want to risk a longer run that day anymore.
In the meantime, the major shareholder of Peter was ordering him back home so also he had to leave. When I took his picture, he was still smiling; you should have seen his face after the recall from his major shareholder........ :oops: :lol:

Finally also Ngoh arrived and was told that he won't be going anywhere so soon on his bike, so that left Craig, Thawee and me. We decided just to run to Klaeng as heavy rainclouds were already coming up, turning onto the 344 we headed though eucalyptus and pineapple fields to Ban Beung, had a real good lunch there and on the 331 in direction of home.
Well next time we hope to get even more friends to join us, plan is the weekend from 4.-5.11. and a quick run up to Khao Yai again. As always it was a real pleasure and we were very happy to be a mixed group Thai-Farang !!!! Cheers, Franz[/img]

Ready when you are Franz. Next time I'll try and get prior approval from the major shareholder.
Let's try and keep the bikes on the road on the next run.
Anyway it was a great outing and Hey! I must have left too early and missed the nice cold beeers???????

Ah, so you you did miss me!!!
