Riding motorbike at Bangkok

Recommended Posts

You could ride in BKK... But is in enjoyable? Fuck no.

 

Strange, I love it on the little CBR250. Blasting in and out, then bursting off when at the front. Love the feeling. But I've loved motorbike riding since I was teen (20 yrs ago) and riding in BKK every day for the past 6 years, so know how the traffic and locals move.

 

Guess it's different strokes for different folks. I couldn't stand sitting in a taxi or standing in the BTS, Would do my nut. :D

I have been riding motorcycles for 40 years.  My last few were Honda Goldwings.  I quit riding because of to many near misses with people in cars texting and on the phone.

I am glad I stopped before an accident.  Even if I was still riding I would not ride a motorcycle in Bangkok!

I have no intention of driving in Bangkok

I plan to rent a small bike when I get out and away from the big cities and wanted to stay above board so went and got my IDP here in Canada, it cost $30 and took about 30 minutes.

I am still a little concerned about "other" drivers in Thailand.

I am hearing many people drive drunk which is not cool.

I think I will play it by ear and ride if I feel comfortable enough.

I have been riding motorcycles for over 50 years so it's not my ability I am worried about.

Cheers
