Anyone going this weekend?

Any further confirmation on the event? Have seen posters advertising a jazz concert at the same venue ...

Used to go regularly but in recent years seems all the good bikes were out and about the town instead of on show at the show

Saturday is the day to go, you need to be there after about 8pm. All the bikes are there then.

There has been a dodgy website going around claiming that the event has been cancelled. Ignore this, they're setting up the stalls today.

Ride on.

I live about 500m from Petch, but a convoy of bikers heading towards HH this afternoon almost deafened me!!

You are correct Richard. I went down there last year about 9pm and walked past all the bikes. In prevoius years I took many pictures of interesting bikes but last year only fired up the camera for 2!
If you really want to see a biker party, get on over to Pattaya. Myself, GinjaNinja and Buksida rode to that event this year and were gobsmacked at the size of the venue and number of bikes. My estimate was 15 - 20,000. Complete gridlock trying to get out and back to our hotel :mrgreen:

Agreed, the Chumphon Bike Week also blows Hua Hin out of the water. It tends to be a lower key affair here for older guys with choppers... :duck: :duck:
