Do you have Any contact Details ?

Hi Lakota.
Maybe best to call Khun Nook on 085 1934369.
He is their new bikes salesman and he speaks good English.

You may have to join a long queue though; many orders were taken today!
Excellent choice too.

 

[lakota]

Thanks. I'll call him monday. cheers.

I'll add a few pics to Phil's.
Very large crowd there.
The Honda team were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

To the amazement of many, including myself, the outlet was ready on time.
The missing 'g' and 'a' were found and everything was spick and span by opening time.
Mind you, they were still preparing it at 3am this morning!

Well done guys and girls.



The Opening got off to the tune of Andy Williams (now dead) singing "The Impossible Dream" !!

Skirt lifted just enough.



Big screen TV.



Lots of pretty ladies.



This 'out-sider' stole a bit of the lime-light.



Niyom Panich boss (left) and Japanese speaking Honda Thailand boss.



OK girls, time to release the stallions.























The omnipresent 'Jungle Boy' was there!













And back in their new service section,





The Integra.



And they'll also be selling second-hand big bikes.

A good show.
Welcome and congratulations Big Wing Chiang Mai.

Well I called him today. he's said he would email me the details. ....................

nothing yet. Will he get my sense of urgency or will it be like pulling teeth as usual

 

[2wheels]

He's probably in 'recovery mode' today after the frantic preps for the Grand Opening.
Worth another try Monday I reckon; Thais are not good with emails though!
Are you in CMai? If so, would be better to call in if possible.

(Or I can do so on your behalf, anonymously of course .... I owe you a favour!)

PM me if you wish, rather than on open forum.

Thanks for sharing them.

I went into Honda Bigwing Chiang Mai today & asked them about their dyno, they said the cost is 800 Bht and hour, but they will only test Honda motorcycles.
