I know we all use a bike to go pick up a bottle of milk but this is just whacky

Could be interesting ...

On behalf of Eastern Eagle MC, we are pleased to invite all MC from all ASEAN and INTERNATIONAL countries to set the very first foot print in the history in 1st Myanmar Bike Week.

Location
Tachileik, the border town in Myanmar where is the neighbor township of Maesai, Chiang Rai province of Thailand.

Traveling
For whom would like to come acrosss the boarder from Thailand, should have to travel to Maesai (Chiang Rai Province, Northern region of Thailand), then enter to Tachileik through the Thai Myanmar friendship bridge #1.
For whom would like to enter from Yangon, should fly to Tachileik by air only.

Can anyone recommend a good web site in Thailand for used big bikes, I don't want a new plastic packed bike, my last bike was a Kawasaki 1100. No particular make or model in mind

[Ginjaninja]

The used bike market is thailand is rubbish.
Bit pricey:

Big Bike motorcycles banned in Khao Yai
The national park chief Kanchit Srinoppawan said he has ordered park officials at the checkpoints to prohibit Big Bike motorcycles to go on the top because of their engine loud noise could disturb tourists.

Besides, modified motorcycles which create loud noises are also not allowed to enter the park, he said.

Currently all national parks have exempted entrance fees for Thai visitors from December 31 to January 1 under the policy of the National Council for Peace and Order to return happiness to the people, and to give New Year gift to the people.

For Khao Yai, temperature has dropped to 11 degrees Celsius, prompting large number of visitors to experience cold weather every weekend.

He said the park has arranged three locations for visitors to camp out – Larn Pa Kluay Mai, Larn Lamtakong, and Larn Khao Rom as all resort homes have been fully booked.

He also advised tourists to book homes at the park only at its official website, as officials have discovered fake websites taking booking orders from foreign tourists, and many have been cheated.

But he said all homes and rooms at the park have been fully booked until next year.

Hope this isnt a sign of things to come elsewhere in Thailand from the nanny brigade.

Putin cuts the price of vodka and the Thai government gives 2 days' free entry to national parks... such pandering to the public will end in tears, you mark my words!

I suppose all things are relative...
