Some bikes and babes from last night's annual Chiang Mai Bike Party. Cheers, Pikey.

Welcome back BB. I was in the same boat - kinda just lost the forum thing for a year or more. Good guys here. ;) Cheers, Pikey.

I started illegally on mopeds when I was 14 but for real on a TS185 Suzuki on my 17th birthday in December 79. Just turned 51 a few days ago so that makes it 34 years and have never been without a bike. Had over 50 and used them to commute, track day, tour and generally have a blast. Oh yeah...

Just checked in and saw this thread - beautiful old bike. Cherish it mate. TBS is cool too. I had a red/black 98 with the twin pipes up the RHS. Wish I'd never let that one go..... Cheers, Pikey.

Crappy pic but great looking bike, esp the meaty ally swingarm. I see at set of FCRs lurking in there - did you go for the big bore kit? When you repaint the tank will you put a badge or logo on it? It needs something IMO. Belated Happy Birthday to your daughter! Cheers, Pikey.

Come on mate, don't tease us - we want PICS!!! Cheers, Pikey.

Brilliant! True British spunk and they don't make many like that anymore. Thanks for posting. Cheers, Pikey.

First comments (constructive criticizm mate). Great colour choice Swing arm looks mega Have you thought about building a more substantial bash plate round the engine bars? Chrome covers look too glitzy for this style of bike Black powdercoat on the wheels and hubs would cover the chrome and...

Good stuff LMT - I'm gonna subscribe and follow this with interest. Good luck with the build. Cheers, Pikey.

Just read through this after an extended absence from the forum. Tang, reading your words in retrospect I can see you and your family growing in strength in each updated post. First despair and frustration, then anger and resolve and now, dare I say it, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...

Also, it's a good idea to resize your pics before uploading them to Photobucket or where ever as originals can be pretty large and slow to load. For Windows 7 I use a clone of the Windows XP "powertoy" called Image Resizer which typically reduces a 2.5MB file down to around 600kb. Your friends...

IMO, hard luggage looks shit on our bikes. Have you considered throwovers? No brackets to spoil the lines and a decent amount of storage. I picked up a secondhand set of Ortleibs from fleabay for about $130. Look like new. The blurb says they are waterproof but a Thai monsoon managed to find a...

Ha ha ha! That reminds me of the time I was sitting on a bus in Bangkok opposite this absolutely stunning, drop-dead gorgeous chick. She was wearing a really tight top and a very short skirt. I kept thinking to myself "don't get a hardon, don't get a hardon". But she did....... :lol3...

Come and check out Northern Thailand! You may want to reconsider your options after a visit - good infrastructure, lots of expats and fricking awesome riding! Whatever you decide, I hope when you look back, it was the right decision for you. ATB. Cheers, Pikey.

Congrats Dude on the new CB - looks beautiful and here's wishing you many, many happy and trouble free miles. Co-incidentally, I picked up "Bike" magazine last month on my annual UK trip and it had a comparison test between the CB1100 and a Bonnie SE. I scanned the mag and tried to upload it...

Wow! I've not checked or posted here for quite some time and after reading KB's words and looking at the pics, I'll make sure to hang around more often. Excellent! Cheers, Pikey.

Thanks for the welcome - feels good to be back! OK, you asked for some pics so here goes: Nothing extreme - new paint (candy brandy wine over a silver metalic basecoat), satin powder coated wheels with Pirelli MT60s, retro side panel decals, scrambler bashplate, flattracker bars, re-covered...

Hey guys. It's been a while and I thought I'd check in. Dunno why I "went away" really as from sneaking a peak at a few threads today, it seems all is as good as ever at NBR. Actually, one of the reasons I've not been about (if anyone even cares!) is that there has been a lot of shit here...

No bike but she definitely wouldn't need to ask me twice.... Cheers, Pikey.

Maybe slightly off topic and definitely well know to most, but Hunter S. Thompson sums it up nicely with this bit of wisdom: "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of...

That's from here mate and yes, 100% it is fucked up shit. No infrastructure here and "body chasers" which are basically pickup trucks and the drivers scan the police channels for accidents and attempt to beat the ambulances to the scene coz if they deliver the victim to the hospital they get a...

I'd say take a test on the H-D, the Thrux and a Bonnie. We can only advise on asthetic appeal as we don't know what type of riding he likes, how long, how fast e.t.c. I've had everything from Ducati a 916 to an XLX61 Sportster and know now that at my age and the type of riding I do, the Ducati...
