I also suspect that this will be seen as a high price fashion piece of theThai motorcycle world rather than a attempt at market penetration through realistic prices (for what it is).

A Multistrada for me also

Interesting - everyone will have one next year! Hope it opens the gates to others finding ways to offer good pricing.

Prob not me as the 800 mm seat height and rake would make living cramped for my old bones.

Another one I will sit out. Too bulky, heavy and expensive for me.

I am not Australian. Sydney is one of the world premier cities, absolutely fantastic and a good example of what a great city should be. The Australians have done themselves proud.

As along term resident of Bangkok I find it shocking that Bangkok can even get into the top twenty.

Sure the people are nice, it has good food, its exciting BUT as a city its a piece of crap. But the fact that Pattaya is the worlds greatest beach resort, with the cleanest beaches, bluest sea and greatest hotels more than makes up for the failings of Bangkok

There are some details regarding canon rental on the photographythailand forum

I have to agree - Thais meals in Biz def would not win any awards, nor would their wine selection IMHO

Just bumping this back up as I am very interested in any Bangkok recommendations as well

Interesting that they would go back to yellow (it was the 2009 colour). I really wanted the yellow "dewalt" version when it first came out but looks a bit "dated" now.

BTW does anybody know a good body shop in Bangkok that can do bike resprays?

Great thread. Its made me realize that I will have to return to CMX one day.

I would buy it just based on the fact that its sealed. BUT I cant afford to replace my lens and flash collection.

I have two liner sets - rotate them every 4 or so days (I commute everyday) and put them in the washing machine.

Just get "Thai" american express card. I always upgrade to Business for "free" if I have acrrued enough points.

I would be pushed to fork out the dosh for a full fare business class ticket myself. I also use my Thai ROP card which gets me some free upgrades

I would even consider the ugly crossrunner if it was "normal" pric.

Would definitely consider the crosstourer if they put it into production, as it would be a good (pricewise) competitor to the GS

I think there's a little art Here

I have to admit, after looking at that link - I agree with you!

Personally I have never considered photography as art. I did watch the BBC series and to be honest it only confirmed my view.

I was left with the impression that "art" contained higher percentages of hype and pretension than it did "photography".

Photography is a pastime of the masses, that brings more enjoyment to the picture taker than the viewer. That's why it has such a following and long may it remain so. I just wish it was a cheaper hobby ;+)

I went through Samut Prakan on Sunday (i.e. Sukhumvit - Samut Prakan - Chonburi).

It was decent road but a bugger of a ride as I was exposed to a blustery side wind coming off the sea.

Came back on the Bang Na Trat - would have been a million times better in a car!!!!!

I have the Shark evoline 2 . Great helmet IMHO. The flip open mechanism is great because it can be used both in OF and CF.

I tend to use just in CF though to be honest.

Many thanks

i had a chat with AIS and was not really impressed (more sales than honesty me thinks) but have decided to wait another month to see what transpires with the 3G.

I think I am going to ditch to True though, for one reason, its easier to understand their webpage!

I wondered what your opinions are on the best package for an iphone?

I still have an iphone 1, use it around Bangkok and travel upcountry a lot. My primary use is as a telephone, and as an email sys, and occasionally apps and a little web browsing (but very little).

I am definitely not a "power user" and dont make many calls at all. My current subscription with calls (not many!!) come out at around 1200 baht a month with a package for unlimited data.

I am thinking its overkill but am seriously confused looking at the AIS and TRUE webpages.

Can anybody recommend a current package/cost?

I dropped the pegs using the Motowerk brackets as well. At 6" 3 (and 110 kilos ooops) I am now very very comfortable with the bikes height and ride position. I also added the motowerk bar riser which really made the riding position comfortable for me. So feet down, bum up and hands up! Only problem I have at the moment is wind buffeting because I still have the wee stock screen.

I would be interested if anyone can recommend a good editing program that you dont have to be a nuclear scientist to operate. I have been struggling greatly with the bigger offerings (Adobe and Apple) but the more simpler offerings (iMovie for example) dont really seem to do that much. Or am I just not working hard enough on it?

Interested to find what others use?

An AirHawk is also good for raising the bum significantly - does not look sexy but incredibly comfortable option if you are a taller rider

How did the new tyres perform?

There is a big outlet for extra large "export" clothing on the junction of Phetchburi and Suk Soi 71. Its on the UM Tower quadrant of the junction.

Drive past it every day but have never been in - its multi-floor and seems to span at least 3 buildings.
