I dunno. When I traded in my 2003 CBR150 for a 2008, there was nothing else available as a sportsbike under 140K. I question whether a tired 223 will meet the bill. The Honda VTR 250 will cost how much - 145K? Honda may never deliver.

I will tell him, in English and Spanish, that he can't leave for as long as he made me wait. He will surely understand and gladly comply...

Never worked with Filipinos. I take it that most of them are like most Thai teachers of English: willing to work for under 20K; teach 24 crappy lessons a week; harp on about grammar but don't speak English well; and do whatever the administrators want. Am I wrong?

Everybody's experience is different.

Maybe I;m wrong; it's only a guess.

What you will probably find is that they won't be worth more, but perhaps may hold a price slightly better than before, but it depends on availability, ie: old hack like you will remember the rules of supply and demand.

I have found in recent years that good examples of the Suzuki Raider are becoming rare and therefore examples of such are holding ground.

Automobiles are nearly always a depreciating asset.

I didn't mean a used CBR150 will increase. It will decrease, but not drastically.

Most of my kids are doing well - good jobs in Texas and Ireland. I'm fine here, with good cheap health care, cheap COL, weather, etc. And the only people upset about my 'lifestyle' are easily avoided.

I usually use Sripat at the university hospital of CMU, and used the ER for my last stroke.

Had mine removed for free by USAF, local, but real surgery. I had temp amnesia. I like the founder of CM Dental Hospital if he's still practicing.

Lows near 16, highs almost 36. Haze constantly. No rain.

The Chiang Mai mail is no better on reporting

Much better, IMHO.

The count is 19 and the mail says 11 ? RIP

11 may have been the initial report. At least they reported the tragedy.

Asmeron, thanks. My last guest house/daily room rental was in 2003 and nobody's asked since. Those are three good suggestions.

I'm looking for a friend. Do you have some suggestions?

I did not mean to be trashing competitors. Nor do smilies mean much. If Sripat earns some bucks, I can't tell.

Never been offered in over a year there.

There are no private shareholders at Sripat. RAM, Dr. Morgan, and Loi Roh Clinic are for-profit.

Ricardo, I think we'll allow that link.

I have no evidence that Jesus was straight, bisexual, gay, or non-sexual. And neither have you.

I reviewed my old Sao Paolo results from 2005 and 2006. Lab results seemed accurate. Doctor's advice worthless.

I have an opinion on the statute of limitations on IRS assessments on abusive tax-shelters; an opinion about gay sex for Christians; an opinion about Christians being required be love their enemies; and an opinion about Gun'n'Roses. Only the last is only an amateur's opinion.

A month or two can be absorbed with existing inventory. The CBR150 can be replaced by CBR125-FI. I never have seen a civilian Tiger Boxer north of BKK. Never seen a Lifan. Nor a Zungshan.

Let's say I had no pensions, and took the first job available, out in the province for 25K. Commuting 35 km each way. Ten months a year (in fact, 9 months). No visa extension, no work permit, having to get my annual visa in USA. No support locally, totally inept administration. It's so wonder teachers quit after a month of two. Most teachers can't survive long-term on 30K per month, with a wife and a kid. If you can, you're the exception.

Let's see a Democracy movement without Thaksin or his money.

Thai food is killing Thais, with sugar, chilies, diabetes, bad whiskey, etc.
