    I thought I might post some photos of the Chopper & Campin show on the last few days here in Thailand.................................Fairly big scene of custom bikes over here, not as many Harley's as Australia, main reason is their price, about twice the price of Australia when new.......

    Next-month is Loy Krathong in Thailand, its to celebrate the end on the rainy season and start of the cooler season, the bigger cities usually make a big night of it, with candles floating on flowers into rivers or lakes, and then send up balloons with candles lit below, to get them to fly..............quite a sight

    This event was in Muaklek Saraburi Thailand, which if you know Thailand is about halfway inbetween Bangkok and Korat.

    Lots of bike/car shows on all the time, sometimes hard to know when because alot of advertising is in Thai script, saying that most provinces have an annual Bike Show, our bike show in Chiang Rai is in December, I missed lastyears show because I had ridden over to Vietnam for nearly a month.

    MMaggiclittle flowers with candles floating down the river , people happy and joyous, I loved that memory for a coupla years in 'Chaing Mai Central Prison, in 1980 was a good one to hold./Concrete, the Dark Room, and the byxicle silver coffin that when out every often , THe same fucken one metallic Silver with two bike wheels was a wa to get out though I had a qay to clear thw wall , but the shits moved us after s[pray us with DDT40 , Agent Orange ahit in upper cells. Me , nor couplacohorts have no line following us, sposwe for good and bad I guess. Sprayed our cells for bed bugs and such yhat the DEA supplied a plenty,This was a period when the Americans Pumped zillions into the Thai Economy, if your not aware, there is a longer story/ies I still have memouries of that are true and would b;ow your minds.
    Nice to leave some stuff off of th bowl of fruit we call life. Keep well and mostly look after others, it comes back.
