  1. I have bought several used cars here in Thailand and the following is what i do. As soon as i am interested in a car i ask if it has a service(dealer) book,if not i pass. If there is a book and the car has been serviced at the dealership you can get all service information from the dealer. Another way is go to Toyota Sure,they only sell second hand but young Toyota cars and will place a warranty on what they sell.You may pay a bit more but you get peace of mind. Or you could ask your friends if they have a lead.
  2. Another Dutch singer from when i was young,not cool for a young guy to like this at that time but i still think it is great! Great voice and she is still performing.
  3. This Dutch group scored the following hit in many countries but never in the USA. It was their first single and top of the charts almost al over the world.
  4. i guess the Eagles brings us pretty close to country music,i spend a bunch of years in North America and when you live there you can not get away from being exposed to country music. I like quite a few songs but it depends of the mood i am in. This is great.
  5. Sure you can but this topic is about Thailand. i also have seen many stupid accidents in other countries.
  6. The big question is 'is the government ready for the next generation? Will the walls be high enough and will they have enough armored vehicles? I guess time will tell but at some point the young people will have had enough and (force fully) will demand long over due changes. I can not say i blame them.
  7. You seem to gain weight during stress?20 kilos during Covid?You also gained a lot of weight during the 2011 floods if i recall. Jo jo effect is not very healthy,you tell other people all the time about exercise and eating right but you are not a very good example?
  8. Looks to me the XRM has a longer front fork so probably will not bottom out so much. Also slightly wider handle bars will make riding a lot more comfortable. I have 50/50 tires on my Yamaha and that does very well in dry sand and also in mud gives me enough traction. What i do not like about the CT125 is the way the exhaust is fitted. No room for saddle bags ans my pipes would also be a nono.
  9. The Yamaha is a great bike but off road i would like to have a little bit more clearance and the front shocks bottom out .
  10. Well over ten yaers ago while in the Philippines i saw a Honda XRM,great looking bike and i was going to get one of those but guess what? Not available in Thailand. Now finally in Thailand they are coming up with some crossover small bikes. I would really want one for going camping because they look pretty rugged and they have great specs. A new one is going to be too expensive for me so i am hoping to find a second hand one in a year or two. The first picture is of the Honda in the Phillies. The last picture is of the bike i use now.
  11. Years ago had my Honda Shadow parked in front of Big C on my way North. Some little kid jumped on my bike and started playing with all the buttons and going full speed of course. I ignored it and when i came back the kid was gone and my throttle cable broken.
  12. It is one of these but still a baby https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokay_gecko
  13. Absolutely a shame,i really admire the fact that when George had to stop he did not even consider finding a replacement. They had been playing in the same setting for so long they considered each other family.
  14. Yes i have seen that article and others like that before. Imo there are other ways to stop them from re-offending.
  15. Wrong on so many levels but maybe its just me. Can you please educate us on the difference between sexy and whorish? There are still a lot of people living in the dark ages. Nothing to do with where you came from but all to do with where you are standing in life.
