G'day Fella's,
After doing the Sangkhlaburi to Umphang missing link ride.
Our bikes were some what damaged with broken frames to exhaust brackets and exhaust header.
Sir Trent Crashalot messaged me with some good news about this local shop just down the road from Motoaholic (Kawasaki Dealer - Thonburi / Bangkok)
Mike and I met up and rode our broken bikes over this morning.. Mike with his KLX / Bamboo DNA bike and mine with exhaust strapped on the back.
That was a long noisy ride 13 km through downtown Bangkok and across the river... Had quite a few looks when stopped at traffic lights or riding under the BTS...
If any one needs repairs done at a good price and by skilled people.. Here is the shop that both Mike and I agree we will use for future repairs.
GPS Co-ordinates
Latitude:13.71089059
Longitude:100.48769682
The shop is roughly 150 metres past Motoaholic when coming down the road with Motoaholic on your left..
Here is the front.. Khun Wee, the owner / boss. No English is spoken.. Get ready to practice your Thai
New piece of exhaust pipe..
Nice STRONG bracket made and welded on to each side.
How it looks before the above is done.
This was funny.. You will see in the next pic how he cuts off a piece of metal and hammers it in to the frame.
He started doing that until we stopped him and explained the Kwaka had alien DNA that needed to be extracted
A lot of laughter and surprise when the Bamboo appeared..
First measure and cut the pipe that will go in... It was very light. not more than 300 grams per piece.
Make the end push out a bit so it can be welded in at the end and doesn't move inside.
Bash it in...
Perfect fit
No pictures of what happens next.. but all welded, oxyacetylene torch too.. and painted..
Real good job..
As Mike said.. We keep breaking our bikes and we keep making them stronger.. 2 steps forward and 1 step back.
Hope this of use to any other ' Bangkok Weekend Warriors ' or any one passing through that needs this type of work done.
Cheers
Brian
