Post by: firko on August 22, 2012, 03:38:47 pm: The bikes in Thailand may be little tiddlers but the locals sure love tricking 'em up. They've got a serious drag racing scene where some of these little crotch-rockets run in the 11's. You'd be amazed how trick some of these bikes are.

Love the design regulation compliant Dax sidecar. Super useful in Pakistan so you can put another 38.7 people on board :)

Post by: Tex on August 24, 2012, 10:11:15 pm: There's a classic enduro scene in Thailand. Lots of DT, TS, etc riders, with some interesting safety gear, but a lot of smiles too (enjoying old dirt bikes is universal it seems). There's a link below but I can't read Thai and it appears you have to be signed in to view anything:
