I left Loei and rode up to Chiang Khan to meet up with Brianbkk who was riding back to Chiang Mai from Udon Thani. We were still some hours apart so i decided to head for Phitsanulok where i had heard the previous night that there was a Big Bike Party on.
Back to Loei and up the ranges to Phu Rua, Dan Sai and down the other side to Nakon Thai where i stopped for a cold drink. All great riding roads, good scenery, good road conditions, plenty curves, just a good pleasant ride. I was soon joined by some of the Loei Biker Club riding some impressive machinery. Nice group of Thai bikers and they asked me to join them on the final 100km run into Phitsanulok .... a fast lane splitting ride where i did not dare to lose face so held position all the way.
The Bike Party was held in the grounds of the local technical college and there were thousands of bikes there. 100 baht entry fee, food catered, Chang Export but everyone was loaded up with hard drink supplies. Three rock bands played and supported by several groups of Coyote dancers. As the night wore on the Thai guys loosened up. There was more Harley 'look at me gear' worn than possibly all of the US.
A great entertaining night and surprisingly no trouble.
