Meeting Mr Yuminashi

Post by chainsaw »

I was recently in Thailand and managed to catch up with Reggy Bodden of Yuminashi fame. I purchased some parts off him and took advantage of the opportunity to speak to him directly about my plans for my PCX. He is a very nice guy and was more than happy to share his knowledge and experience when it comes to the PCX. My girlfriend and I had a very long and memorable ride in the worlds bunkiest Tuk-Tuk. The driver's name was Daeng and he was an absolute legend of a man, taking us for a tour around Ayutthaya and then driving us about 30kms or so to the outskirts to see Reggy. Most of the drive was spent on a very busy highway with trucks wizzing by doing twice our speed and Daeng holding the passenger door shut with one hand and smoking with the other. Reggy is currently developing a new BBK for the 150 that uses a lighter piston design than the current one and it should be available in a couple of months.
