Finally got the bikes cleared by customs yesterday at 4pm, built them up and got them back to our hotel, BKK is OK but we,ll be glad to leave ,its like Sodam an Tommora here to many ugly westerners with stunning Thai girls, Yeh right mate its love!!
We leave for Cambodia in the morning about 250km so a nice easy ride to get back into it, we went out to test ride the bikes today and got nicked for riding with the rest of the traffic, apparently at rush hour you have to use the bus lanes only if you are on a bike, topsy turvy world eh, in the UK its the other way round, the cops were having none of it and fined us 400bhat each, about 8quid, hey ho, lerta see what cambodias like, its nice to see some old pals putting some comments on here Hi Ed plus the usual suspects, we are coming back into Thailand after Cambodia and Laos so will do a better write up about some nicer places as and when, see you soon P n B

Thailand first thoughts
Arrived in Bangkok absolutely shattered, 26 hrs of travelling found the hotel that had been recomended and very nice it is aswell for 20quid a night
we are right on their sky train network which as it says is a train in the sky brilliant ,clean, aircom and every 10min, we have a night market over the road with a beer garden and every kind of food you can think of, if it squawked, moo,d, grunted, baaad or blew bubbles you can get it here!
Bikes are supposed to arrive in about 10days so we will probably go and do some island hopping for a week or so but as we have found a bar that is showing the MOTO GP on Sunday we aim to leave here monday.Its very hot and humid here at the moment and we need the bikes to head off into the hills, into Cambodia from here and then north up to Laos and then back into Thailand all in the Golden triangle, this is the plan but as we find out on the road plans change.
We are also applying for our Austrailia visas whilst here but this computer in the hotel won,t let me onto the website so I,ll have to go to a cyber cafe to do it, I hate computers and hate cyber cafe,s even more thats about it for now, Pete n Bruce

Leaving SA
Tonight we leave SA and get a flight to Thailand, I havn,t posted on here for a while as not a lot has been happening.
The bikes are on their way by ship to Bangkok, we had a leaving do at our local bar last night.
Thanks to all who showed up and thanks to the Thumpers , the local bike club for making our stay here so good,
We finally got to go to a game reserve and got to see the big 5.
Bruce has been a star as usual and she has quit smoking but drinks more hehehe!!!
I,ve been a bit depressed lately as we have had a lot of hassle shipping the bikes and havn,t felt much like comunicating with anybody, but all thats finished now and we are looking forward to SE Asia.
Its been so long since I,ve been on here that I may have forgot how to put pictures up but I,ll have a go
