Welcome Wannabe biker`s.

The Wannabe motorcycle club was originally founded by a small group of Europeans, namely of English and Norwegian descent living in the north east of Thailand, a country most suitable for motorcycle touring with its extreme beauty.
Initially, the club name came about by an accident, whilst drowning our sorrows one night, “reminiscing” over the bikes we left behind in Europe a few years earlier, before we came and settled in Thailand.
All of us had owned bikes, and spent a lot of time touring, in particular the UK, Ireland and Norway.
In Thailand we had only really traveled by truck, bus or plane, for convenience more than anything.
Not realizing how much we were missing motorcycles.
The Wannabe Mc was born. Join us Wannabe's, and be a part of the World Wide Wannabe club.

Tune Up for Spring and a New Riding Season  |
|
 |
Have enough of winter yet? I have. I’m done with trudging through snow and slipping on frozen sidewalks; I’m finished with seeing my breath vaporizing in front of me; I’m tired of fierce winds causing tears to form and quickly freeze on my eyelashes. If you’re like me, you’re ready for spring to arrive, and with it, a brand new riding season. |
| 2013 Moto Guzzi California 1400 Custom - Video |
|
| Moto Guzzi’s California Custom is a no-frills, stripped-down version of the California’s Touring version we tested a couple of months ago. This new Custom model uses the Guzzi’s all-new 1380cc engine in a package with enhanced handling capabilities. The 90-degree V-Twin is purported to kick out 88.5 ft-lb of torque at just 2750 rpm and 96 horsepower at 6500 rpm. |

| 2013 Star V Star 1300 Deluxe - Video |
|
 |
Every time a motorcycle manufacturer gushes its latest bike is “in a class by itself,” skeptical eyebrows all over the world get raised. Surely, jaded motorcyclists intone, this is just another exaggerated marketing ploy. |
| 2013 Harley-Davidson FXSB Breakout - Video |
|
With a long, low stance and styling that puts the emphasis on its major components, the new Harley-Davison FXSB Breakout is a no-nonsense power cruiser that embodies the spirit of motorcycling while eschewing the trappings of trendiness. The new Softail manages this feat by keeping it simple, stupid |

| BMW S1000RR vs BMW S1000RR HP4 - Video | |
 |
A few months ago I was lucky enough to ride the new BMW HP4 at its world launch at Jerez, southern Spain. With perfect track conditions and slick tyres to play on, it was a dream.More impressive still was the HP4. BMW has taken its already class-leading S1000RR and made it even better: 9kg lighter, more agile, smoother and even easier to ride fast, with refined electronics, larger brakes, fatter rear tyre, and beefier midrange. |
| 2013 Honda CRF450R - Video | |
| Back in 1997, Honda broke the motocross bike mold with the introduction of its aluminum-frame CR250R motocrosser. Although the bike was met with mixed reviews, it was the beginning of a new era in the design of dirt bikes. Honda again went back to the drawing board in 2009 and released an all-new CRF450R, complete with EFI, a new frame and a whole new look. |

| 2013 Hyosung GV650 Aquila Pro - Video | |
 |
Long and low, black-hued with a balance of chrome and silver alloy, the Hyosung GV650 Aquila Pro passes the head-turner test without much difficulty. And that’s not bad given the cruiser’s lines are now entering their tenth year since it was first featured in 2003 as a preproduction prototype at Milan. |

| Hi Mr. Dipstick (I love you) and all you Wannabe’s out there I’m “Dominator“... | |
| a strange name you may think apparently this name was given to me by my mother, who say’s she’s pretty sure I was conceived on the pillion seat of an old Norton dominator 88 mc in a far corner of the ace café car park on a cold foggy evening in London. The bike in question had just achieved the magic ton 100 mph on the London north circular road and the riders prize was popping his cherry with my mum in a racing position on the Norton café racer whilst on it’s main stand. |
