Just boring bikes and no photos of young ladies.

· 950 words · 5 minute read

Yes. it’s the normal monthly outing with the bikers. But read on, there is much to enjoy once you get past the bikes.

Jimmy the stunt man remains out of commission, could be a while before we see any more bike-based stunts. His stunt offering for today was the very difficult and potentially dangerous “walking stick balancing while holding a cup of tea” trick.

Not so many bikes on the track today, but I caught some reasonable shots:

ASP_1390

ASP_1627

ASP_1704

I know how little interest there is in racing bikes amongst my readership, so I thought if I explained the technology a little, you might become more interested. Study the following bike photograph carefully:

ASP_1292

It’s a Suzuki, it’s yellow, and it has one wheel at the front and the other at the back. I think that’s enough of a technology lesson for today. Who is the young lady you ask? Oh, that’s Khun Deuan, the new Highside Tours assistant. Annoyingly, as well as taking photos of bikes, I was asked to take photos of her too, what an imposition. I was so imposed upon that I took about a hundred photos of her; just to show my displeasure.

Next month, in our continuing bike technology course, Khun Deuan will show us how to strip an engine.

Some nice bubbles here…

OK I’ll volunteer to be the engine.

mmm …. reminds me of the old chat up line, “while I have a face, you will always have a place to sit …”


2008-08-21 | Spike says

That explains your face.


2008-08-21 | grandma says

Never heard this chat up line…


2008-08-21 | Spike says

Because you have always kept civilised company grandma.

Trust me, if you had seen Billy’s face, you would not want to sit on it.

Great stuff. Believe it or not, I actually like the panned shot of the bike better than the girl shots. But don’t think that means I want to see more shots of bikes than girls.

Bangkok girls, I’ve just discovered (very very late I’m devastated to say) are hugely more stunning than the Pattaya girls.

I honest to god fell in love last night. Not lust (nothing happened), but honest to god, let’s get married now and never leave my side kind of love.

Feeling has been replaced somewhat by a hangover today, tho.

Ghost - I know what you mean, Tata Young is really cute…


2008-08-21 | Spike says

Ghost, you are so right. I lived for 5 happy years in BKK. So many beautiful girls, no need to head for the bars. Good luck falling in love again tonight!

Grandma …. take no notice of old Spike, he has long been jealous of my rugged good looks and long string of successes with the fillies, compounded as it is by his own 0/10 record with same until a “lucky strike” finally brought him happiness with the lovely She Who Must be Obeyed.


2008-08-21 | Spike says

Sadly, it’s true.


2008-08-21 | Billy says

On the bright side it is also true that Leonardtown is up to 22 hits and number 6 in the charts … I imagine this represents celebrity there and that posters of your image are, even as we speak, being pasted up on both their advertising hoardings :-)

Liverpool meanwhile remains stubbornly at just the 1 hit … in truth I have to tell you that we like more fu*ks in our prose, so PD is never going to make it there unless you are willing to substantially increase your F word index, preferably without the use of stars ..

Excuse me, in the sentence “being pasted up on both their advertising hoardings”, what means the word “both”? And who is PD? Thank you.


2008-08-22 | Spike says

Hi Francois It’s Billy being rude again. He is implying that Leonardtown is so small that it only has two advertising hoardings. A quick google informs me that Leonardtown is in fact a thrusting metropolis of nearly 2,000 people, most famous for hosting the national oyster-shucking championship. I am sure that such a town has at least three hoardings; but as it also has a Catholic school, one of them is probably dedicated to devotional messages such as “Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.” So, Billy’s estimate is probably correct. The problem is that Billy is bitter that Liverpool, the city of his birth but not his current residence, cannot progress beyond one visit. This is because the sole person who has learned how to use a computer in Liverpool has had the machine stolen, or has sold it in order to buy alcohol. It’s safe to be rude about Liverpool because they can’t do much about it. Got to be more careful with Leonardtown, they have an airforce base and there is a danger they might fly over and liberate your arse. For any strike aircraft pilots that might be reading, Billy lives in Den Haag. Just head due west and wait till you arrive at somewhere really flat. I can provide more precise co-ordinates if required.

Oh, and PD? Pattaya Days. Make it your organ of choice. Thank you.


2008-08-24 | Billy says

Actually I used PD as an acronym for Philipino Dragartistry, but I will let is pass …


2008-08-24 | Billy says

ps I have moved to, errrr ….. Germany, they will probably still have the co-ordinates for that …

Just a long shot, but have you been drinking?
