There's a trick to it. Use the momentum of your entire human frame to swing the frame of the bike. Practice. Not sure if I can do it now, without a right humerus.

I can also quote Title 26 USC 6653(a)(1)(A) but that's off-topic.

I bet PB was dishy, from photos I've seen, he's still pretty cute.

Come up and see me some time.

Sounds expensive. I pay 3400 in Chiang Mai-Sripat; no stool sample or stress test.

Aside from the fact I wasn't actively gay until 43...

Define dishy

sassie, I didn't watch.

Just copy it, repost in right place, and ask us to delete the mistake. Please make it clear; thanks.

Don't forget the death threats.

You don't have to be a Mod to get them

That's not as silly as it sounds, I was once involved in another forum where some people were involved in threats that we took seriously enough to fold our tent and ride into the sunset.

I met an author in Thailand, whose novel was rewritten to excise every mention of the kingdom, 'because the absurd laws here make it unworthy to be mentioned."

No teeth - soft enamel got dissolved by the carbonic acid.

It tastes good; sugar free, no alcohol, no calories.

My hippie son and his lady friend - backpackers - caught up with me in Chiapas, on the Guatemalan border. We swam to Guat. and walked back. Met several Israelis, recently discharged from military, and a S Korean girl. We all went hiking, swimming, riding kombis. Later we toured ruins of Palenque and swam in waterfall. Earlier I met backpacker who was a grandson of a Texas millionaire I'd known. None of these folks are normal, but we're happy.

Some other points:

Is being a moderator a full time job? And are there any incentives to being a moderator?

I would think that this job is very time consuming.

What about the legal aspects? How does admin know that a moderator is suitable for, well, being a moderator?

Does one have to be tried and tested first, or can anyone apply?

What about job vacancies, such as in admin. Do any appear from time to time and if so, where are these advertised?

No need to apply.

It's not the coffee; it's the caffeine. I drink 2.5 liters of Pepsi Max daily (how many mg of caffeine is that?).

What a mess.

There's a legend that Richard Nixon walked into the US Senate men's toilet to find Sen. Joe McArthy having a fist fight with some other alcoholic Senator. Nixon said, "I guess this Quaker needs to break up this fight" - and he did.

Chiang Mai has several very good hospitals and far less traffic than BKK. And less pollution.

I get my prescribed drugs here through medical school pharmacy. Since 1997, the only 'Viagra' that didn't work was prescribed and cost about $10 per pill.

ALL whiskey is sh*t and anyone who tells you different is lying. Why do think that they have all those mixers, but to get the putrid taste out of your mouth. If you want something that tastes good, try pure fruit juice!

We try to move lots of topics out of General. A CMai thread asked if Thai schools in CMai teach WW2 and Holocaust. It quickly deteriorated into a PC/KKK/Palestinian rehash and was closed. But the UK thread about UK ambassador's comments is now 2 open threads, Thai related.

Maybe, PB means that Lamphun is too small to be recommended as a place to live and that being near Burma is dangerous. I don't know. The text is far from clear. Or maybe it is just a statement that Lamphun is smaller than Lampang. Heaven only knows what the post meant. It seemed very garbled.

Lamphun has a population of about 65k, 55k of those are female (factory town, employees almost all female). It's about 15km outside of CM. Great drive with all the Dton Yang Yii (big rubber trees) lining the road most of the way.

I find it a pretty exciting place to go, especially on a Friday or Saturday night when the factory girls are all out on the pull. You will need to speak some Thai though as there appears to be no English at all spoken in the bars and restaurants. Last time I was there (few weeks ago) my pal and I (50+) were practically dragged into a bar by a couple of slim and pretty 20yr olds shouting 'gin cow' and pointing at their mouths. We barely escaped with our dignity and wallets intact. (we pretended to not speak or understand Thai, always a good escape ploy)

Not a place to go with a girlfriend though! (tea to China, etc.)

Good golf course there too.

Sorry but Lamphun is far from an "exciting place to go". I've been there a few times and I'd have to say it is one of the most boring towns I have ever been to in Thailand. A lot of those "slim and pretty 20yr olds" you refer to are actually men - well khatoeys. Watch out!

We have to draw a Thai-related line in most forums. Exceptions are in Gay, Ladies, Farang Pub. I've met Latvian, Korean, Japanese, Slovenian, Irish, etc. expatriates. But how Lapps feed reindeer in N Scandinavia are not Thai related. Unless they're international school students here.

Except for off-cycle activities better left unmentioned, I don't get prone below 120 kph, even though folks assume I'm limp-wristed. The riding position of a CBR150R isn't extreme. It it were, butts wouldn't get sore.
