Ride to the Kingdom of Unexpected Treasures

On the way home from the birthday party Lucas went to this afternoon, we passed Jerudong Park. I had earlier in the day seen some posters for this '1st Brunei Bike Week'-thing that was supposed to go on there over the weekend, and I thought - let's check it out!
Ha ha, anywhere else in the world, you would probably not bring children anywhere near anything that said 'Bikers Meet', but here, why not?





Lucas and I had a great time walking around checking out all the shiny, polished, specked up bikes! There were a lot of Harley Davidson bikes, that Lucas knew from their visit at school; but also other kinds of choppers, racing bikes, classics, dressed-up scooters, some racing cars - and lots of people!



Check these dudes out - look like real, raw bikers but they were the nicest guys; offered Lucas to sit on their bikes for the photos etc. He declined though (probably because I had told him very sternly before entering not to touch a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g!).



Cool Mini cars:







The 'Head Hunters M.G'?? Really? Scary name...



The 'Kayans'. There are apparently a lot more bikers clubs than I knew of here in Brunei!



Very cool helmet:



Lucas and some other 'dudes'. I had to pretend taking a photo of Lucas to get their photo, that's why he's a bit blurry. But check out the scull decorations on the bike behind him:



A tiger painted bike:



Some bikers off for a ride. I was a bit late with the camera, but at least I got this shot that shows that massive back wheel! It really impressed Lucas!



Don't say nothing ever happens in Brunei! :)
