Mountain Bike Splash Guard
International biker clubs, from Russia to Thailand
I'm riding since I was 11 years old when my parents bought me a Honda 50, I would argue, was a dirt bike, driving the neighbors nuts, cutting the agricultural areas not too far from our home. And I have traveled the world since leaving home right after my 18th Birthday, cutting up Africa, from Ethiopia, Tanzania and the mystical island of Lamu, India, Nepal, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and then all of Western Europe and some Eastern European before I 20 years old. But what I do is share with you about Ray's Biker hang-outs just a little off the beaten path, starting with Russia and Thailand, and yes, there are "real bikers" around the world, Outlaw Biker and some part of the body, as in Russia, and then expatriates, running from the law, as in Thailand. What they all have in common is to create a fun scene to hang out, and then these two places in the world where you can walk into some of the most impressive biker chicks.
If the U-Bahn from Moscow to it comes from underground and darts in the suburbs and then get out and walk or take a short taxi ride into the night to get the most awesome biker that I ever my 55 years was looking for. It is the home market of the Russian Night Wolves Motorcycle Club, which I for the first time in the Crimea, an area of running the Ukraine, that the most beautiful Mountains extending to the Black Sea and includes hot spots in Yalta. I ran into another member of the gang in Odessa, who said: "If you ever in Moscow, you should "Drop A few years later I was on the way if Russia with a Ukrainian girl I would marry later. We made inquiries, found the clubhouse, and it was more than we expected and more. Outside, a menacing, oversized black Harley chopper, 10 yards high, stretched, maybe 25 meters in length. My My hair was long and tattooed arms, the burly guys blocked the parking lot, just wide enough for a Fatboy, I waved These guys were obviously walking log extremely wealthy, as I would later come to, at least some of them former KGB and current FSB guys know, one of which FSB me his card, which told me that he for Turkey is leaving the next day, but if I wound up there in no trouble with the law exists in Russia only call him over and he would maintain it.
I say that the club was obviously well off, because, as we are surrounded in the morning dirt parking lot with 20 foot walls, we were faced with a huge stage, made the oversized motorcycle parts, with 15 meter high flames from both sides. Opposite the club was under a wrought-iron staircases and platforms with tables and chairs, and then there were ordinary wooden picnic tables with baby pig on a spit. At the clubhouse a "bar" has been called the clerk, with a long, winding wooden beams, with more spilling of the bartenders were long rows of vodka and she is on fire. At the end of the bar was a really awesome band kick some blues, which were some of the most impressive nude women danced in iron cages. But the best were not all the female employees, it was the Russian bride rocker wannabes as the only to combine with one of these notorious bikers were. Even my old, tattooed, long-haired American biker himself was with the girls who do not take no for an Answer would be flooded. I stopped and said, "Let me give you my fiance ..." but they would respond in English, "Just one dance, pleeeeese? "What they wanted? Just the opportunity to have a good time. I'd spent the entire summer before traveling around Ukraine hang, with a nice young girl after another, from place to place, traveling with a couple of bodyguards and an interpreter. Russian girls like American girls, is all they want to have fun.
If you are in Russia, you should go hang in the Ukraine. If you are in Kiev, check the capital of the country from the Deja vu Biker Bar Bagdan Melnitski street. Harley Davidson antiqe hanging from the wall. A bunch of really fun guys and girls. I rented the former home of the Greek Ambassador on the road for almost nothing. And if you want a good time to have guaranteed, show up in opium dischotech clock at 23.00, when it is opened, so you pick up one of the tables overlooking the dance floor. The tables are expensive, if I remember correctly about 50 dollars. But were all unmarried girls is nothing more to love come and hang from the vantage point above the dance floor, you can scope them all to take and pick you up then.
As far as Russia is a kick, and value the girls in any case, in a Beach Boys song was added, I grew up in Hawaii, and there is no way that I could hang there in the winter. Winter is for Costa Rica or Panama, or Brazil, or better yet, Thailand, and yes, it is a great biker scene there are some guys who do not have a choice but outside America or Europe, where they have their retirement taken welcome, and more and more now, guys who just want to retreat to paradise. And it is paradise.
My Friend belonged to the Red Jesters Motorcycle Club in Pataya, which is a beach about 50 miles outside of Bangkok, and he swears to "his" beach. I know the fool, because they come every year to "My" Biker Rights Advocate Enclave at Patong Beach on the island Phukett. A bridge connects the island from the mainland for the Travel by land, although it 20 minutes, $ 100 flight from Bangkok. And for my money, I would not even leave the airport in Bangkok, only to catch a flight to the Island and enjoy the beach biker scene.
There are five motorcycle clubs on the island, the largest is the Phuket Riders Club and they host "Bike Week" on Patong Beach in March every year .. All clubs get together and celebrate often. And there are a hundred biker friendly bars, including blues club with live bands. I lived there for two years and my usual routine was to wake up in the late afternoon and then ride or swim, and then write to 3:00 clock in the morning and then head out of the clubs on the Strip, where the working class girls would go after work to just dance with the "long-timers" to have fun and be wild. There is a Difference between long hours and tourists, although nothing to do with need and how long you have been there. It is mostly a state of mind. The Short-Timers are Usually either tourists or guys coming in to take advantage of the girls. Maybe I have too much faith in humanity, or perhaps its my experience on this island, but my observation was that even those who came to town with the aim to get to a hundred girls in a month usually know ended up falling in love after a few days, puppies looked like sad, because the new love of her life had to work. From my observation, this is only a reflection of the fact of the matter is that this only really fun, good-time girl, and when they are off work, that is, if they want to have fun. The girls like to hang out with the bikers, especially if you are a "Big are bike "which is either a Harley or a big Japanese cruiser can. The island - of course - is only one beach after another, with small restaurants at each, and what I like to do is just round the island, in search of another small beach with another small restaurant, and hang with the regulars, the somehow managed to find it before me. If you go to Bike Week in March, then you have to stick around for Thai New Year, April 13-15. The new year is determined by the throw of water at any other celebration, and no one is free, so most women well dressed and dignified men are those who by the end of the wettest. Ride slowly or not on these days to ride, because bikers are definitely not immune, and you get squirted in the face and chest, including through full bucket of water as you go to Bangla Road.
