Triumph seats OVERLOOOOAAADDD !!!
JP Vintage has been hard at work lately and now comes out, guns blazing, with a selection 10 (yes, ten!) new seats for the new Triumph models: Street Twin, T120 and Thruxton R.
The quality, as it's their habit, is always top notch. This, combined with their trademark stylish design, makes the JP custom seats what they are and a top seller in SE Asia and around the world.
To celebrate this new addition to the Omega Racer shop, we're happy to offer a 15% discount on all new Street Twin, T120 and Thruxton seats. Just use this code during the checkout process:
Just have a look at some of the feedback we had:
It's slightly softer and more comfortable than the original and gives a lovely custom look. Quality is outstanding and I know it'll last a long time. Markus from Omega Racer speaks good English and always replies promptly. Would recommend. (Dave)
Thought I'd show you some pics of the Triumph seat I ordered through you...thanks so much. It is really well made and has fantastic detailing. The spray and cloth were a nice touch as well. All in all, absolutely chuffed! (James)

Jessada Techink Museum - 7 years later
Jesada is Thailand's biggest classic car and motorcycle museum and best of all, the entrance is free of charge. The first time I went to Jesada Museum was about 7 years ago, 2 years before starting this blog.
In these 7 years the museum has changed in several ways. The main show 'room' is now better organized, a bit larger and completely covered by a newly installed tin roof. I just can't understand why, after spending so much money collecting these rare vehicles and renovating the whole place, they left the top of the side walls open! Rain, humidity, wind and animals can enter the place and make a mess, if not outright damage the exhibits. Which is what happened.
I remember a splendid Honda Dream50 the first time I went there. Seeing it now, 7 years on, brought a tear to my eye...covered in spots of rust, dust and bird droppings...so sad. A similar fate fell on many other sweet vehicles.
That said, I still love looking at the cool cars and bikes. Another addition to the museum was to create more space for the buses, helicopters and airplanes that weren't accessible last time around.
I found it particularly interesting boarding a big old Thai military plane and a full sized Thai airways plane from the 80s (I think). Don't ask me what they were...I have no clue. The plane wasn't open for visitors actually, but since there was absolutely nobody around, I sneaked in anyway. Sorry about that Mr Jesada....I just couldn't resist! :-)
All in all, it was a nice road trip with my friends and the museum is definitely worth visiting. I do hope they will improve the site the keep those precious wheels for many years to come.
For more info about the museum and directions to find it, please follow this link.
And now, get ready for a wagon load of rusty gold pictures!
