Burapa Bike Week 2009

This annual bike gathering attracts thousands of bikers from around Thailand and overseas. Qualifications for attendance include a leather waistcoat with badges, some form of headband, extensive facial hair and anatomical evidence of excessive beer consumption. This guy qualifies:

You also need a bike, preferably outrageous in design and colour scheme.

Whatever your views on biking (and in spite of all the photos I post on the subject it is not something that attracts me), the workmanship and detail on some of these machines is exquisite.

The anotically challenged subject of the first photo could have been Colin Smith 20 years ago but aged a bit if you know what I mean ….

Now you mention it, the resemblance is striking; but the real Mr. Smith has more in the stomach department.

No. Or rather, yes, now you have pointed it out. Now I want a hubless truck.
