From riding with the Hell's Angels. 
The wife and I decided to go to the Friday night show of the Burapa bike week, a major motor bike extravaganza attended by motor bike clubs from all over Asia. Off we went on my Yamaha 155 scooter and about 2 kilometres from the venue the police had created a lane solely for the big bikes. Of course I found myself in amongst them much to the anger of one policeman who was frantically whistling at me to move out the lane. Just then a Thai MC club (ok not Hell's angels) surrounded me and stayed with me at fairly slow speed right up until the venue. Much hilarity amongst them at how their bikes dwarfed my scooter. I asked one if he wanted to swap and that made them laugh even harder. A great bunch of very friendly lads who made this old bugger feel very special indeed.
