The Second Part Of Our Day,

Diana tries a new look,


 for just 199 baht you too can have hair like this!

now this is a piece of real work, except for the engine itself everything has been built from scratch,

 the engine and gearbox immaculate,

 but what a great disc brake on the front of the machine,

 ditto on the rear, almost like the Wal Phillips disc brake system on the 1960s although he was more well known for his fuel injection systems,

 then who should walk past? none other than Johnny Depp!

 another bike with lots of work gone into it, at first glance it may not look that different,

 but look at the front wheel, see through!

 having said a lot of work went into the previous few bikes, more than a few hours have been spent on this one,

 and this one,

 a nice tidy machine, back in the 1960's it would be called a cafe racer,

 an old HD, I am not sure of the year,

 I am guessing the 1930s, 

 can you imagine the look on the owners face of this bike when he comes back to find some one has stolen the engine?

 we have seen this mobile stall more than a few times around town,

 he sells bugs, 

 another reminder of how I guess it all began, a small engine fitted to a peddle cycle,

 as we were leaving more riders kept appearing into the show ground, smiles from everone,

 we made out way back past the smaller engined Harley Davidson's,

 the red Indians putting on a war dance,

 and still more riders were approaching,

 we meet up with the girls at the entrance,

 and bumped into Jack Levey who had a stand here,

 a very early Honda that has had a complete make over,

 then back to Juu's for a cool beer,

and a dip in the pool for Diana, well just her toes,

 fresh bananas,

 little Thomas called around,

 along with Gung and son,

 pose for the camera,
 with his new boots,

 the girls and Thomas,

 with Dad Tony and mum,

 then time to go,

 and buy our supper,

 at the food stalls on Third Road,

 lots to chose from but we went with the chicken feet soup,

we settled down to watch Snow Queen, a film that owes some of the story line to a Hans Christian Andersen's story, the blurb says, 'The Snow Queen is a powerful story of friendship and the triumph of love over wickedness' but I have to say, both Diana and myself whilst saying how good the sets were, totally failed to grasp the story, well it was getting late so for us off to bed.
