It was with great sadness that Kevin, SPMC President, made the following announcement earlier today regarding the Good Heart Bike Weekend;

"Dear fellow bikers,

It is with much regret that we have had to POSTPONE INDEFINITELY our first Charity Bike Weekend.

Due to the global economic crisis and the political problems in Bangkok, tourist numbers are down 70% on Koh Samui.  This has caused big problems for our local sponsor and donors.  All hotels, restaurants, bars and local businesses  are suffering from a large drop in business and are unable to donate the money they had promised.  This means we do not have the upfront cash to organize the event.

When tourism to Thailand returns to normal, we will go ahead with our event.

Many thanks for your understanding.

Kevin.  President.  Samui Pirates MC".
