Guys,

 

We will have a meet up on 13th Dec Saturday at 9pm at Kallang KFC for trip briefing, payment and bike inspection.

 

Pls come with ur riding bike for the trip.

[Simon Soh]

I received several enquires n suggestions for the ride.

 

The reason why I chose January instead of Nov or Dec, simple. Chinese new year is on Feb so we'll have sufficient time to prepare after the trip. It is also a low season for tourist and less traffic, making roads lesser risk and allow us to maximise our visits.

 

Best of all its the coolest climate to travel around northern Thai.

 

Hope I've ur doubt answered.

[rogngts]

Yes Simon...did not have the chance to join you since the last hatyai...too bad I going for Phuket trip in Feb. If not, could have join you in this trip. Ride Safe...btw I have change my bike for another cruiser ..haha
