Good quick ride down blowing through speed traps at 160km/hr no problems. :happy5:
Our route:

First went to the wrong ferry pier- oops. Reached the Donsak Ferry Pier just as the 2 o'clock ferry was casting off.

Lots of bikes- mostly choppers and Honda Davidsons but all in all a friendly bunch.

I haven't been to Samui in 4 or 5 years. Didn't recognize the place - man it's been built up... Driving past the Tesco, Big C and Makro you can easily forget you're on an island. But on the plus side it's REALLY quiet here right now. I think there were perhaps 4 (FOUR) actual tourists on the ferry. Everyone else was Thai or expat. Lots of bike with Malaysian plates too.

Party was just getting warmed up last night when just after 9pm the heavens opened up with thunder and lightening and heavy heavy rain...

Hopefully the weather will be more cooperative today!

Ride On!

Wow- Saturday was certainly the main event- more than double the number of bikes than the previous night.

Some pretty crazy "bikes"! What do you get when you cross a Toyota Celica and a BMW LT? Something like this:

I was impressed by the number of sport bikes-

This stunning Buell caught my eye-

LOTS of bikes from Malaysia.

Tony the red-white R1 looks exactly like Chris' bike which is for sale, interesting to have the exactly same livery & stickers.......Just got news that the local Phayao biker group is planning to also do a Phayao bike weekend this end of year, so loads of festivals to go too as is our choice of bikes getting more interesting. Cheers, Franz

Bakerboy, Banananananaboy, Trent, Bard, Dr.G ????? Will look up SSR site later. Best regards, Franz
