Whats a bloke to wear when he gets married in one of these village weddings?

Surely one isn't expected to wear anything too formal

cheers

hi

I'm aware that Bira is fine on Mondays, Thailand Circuit on weekends (shared with cars).

And what about Bonanza and KK?

cheers

saw one at bira last monday, superb looking bike, but it sounded pretty lame imo

Ru covered if you crash at a track?

Lookin good.

Have you seen vikrams (red baron) vfr400 trackbike, its well set up

there are some twisties out toeards sattahip, about 20kms from patts. Near the chinese temple in the vicinity of the big buddha on the hill, just look in that area and you'll find em

cheers

there are many options to get a non immB visa, so don't stay in the marriage just because you wanna keep living here.

Thats scary, seems you were happy for many years but got married and it all went pear shaped. Must be a lesson there methinks.

cheers

hi there

I got lotsa assets back home in OZ, protected by trusts, but i don't know just how safe these (trusts) are. Never been married b4 but dread the whole prenup thing

I will soon marry my GF of 3 years. Live here and have no desire to return to OZ to live. I wonder if a PN is necessary?

cheers

hi there

If an australian living in LOS married a thai girl and she has no Australian residency status, and they divorce, would his assets in australia be safe from any claim she may have on them?

My guess is that she would face significant costs in engaging an Aust lawyer to make a property settlement claim, would have no access to legal aid, would need to make several trips to Aust and would have many barriers in accessing information that a resident or citizen would take for granted.

Would appreciate it if anyone could comment on this or expand my understanding

regards

HD of course

looks good, but how do we get it? Is it even out yet?

hi there

The GF wants a trackbike. She can ride a motorbike but hasn't actually got one. So I plan to take her to bira or Thailand circuit on a quiet day, early in the morning. She can start on my er6, maybe i can follow her on my fireblade.

Should i try and teach her some things, or just let her ride round at her own pace? I suppose the most important thing is for her to just keep her line and not panic when she hears other riders coming up behind her. Would more experienced riders resent such a slower rider i wonder?

She is aware that there is a girl riders gang and they have a facebook website, don't know how that will help though. My guess is she would feel a bit intimidated by them. If her interest is anything like the guitar, touch typing, aerobics, water colours or the violin, this enthusiasm should have a shelf life of about a month. But, needless to say I'll encourage her as much as i can.

thanks

DM

where and when is the next round?

According to their website it's open for bike practice on 28th May. Hope so as I'm planning on going!

Yep, May 28th is open for bikes...The first round of Thailand Superbike (motorcycle mag) is may 26-27th.

Is this confirmed? If so any idea about what time qualifying will be finished and race starts?

cheers

hi there

Tried a search to find if there was a thai/burma border crossing somewhere near Kanchanaburi. Anyone know if there is one in that area?

cheers

DM

Wonder if this is genuine, seems 2b. Looks like fun to me.

for those out there like me who are technically challenged, an old clip explaining how a differential works

saw a bike the other day with bigger rear tire, obviously changing the rim in order to fit a 190 or so. Is this advisable could it be detrimental to handling in any way?

cheers

as far as i know the one out past rangsit (well pathumthani anyway) is on every saturday night, the really fast cars don't start running till after 10. Sometimes they have special events, with top fuel and rail cars. Though this place is not very safe, the one u pass on the way to hua hin is apparently a better track for rail and funny cars

cheeers

what shop in bkk has the best range of accessories for these bikes? pipes, frame sliders ect

cheers

they have a slipper clutch?

I'm just not sure why ur prefering these bikes over a more dedicated sport bike, which it seems most also have anyway. are they more fun, more forgiving or what?

dm

anyone ever eat at that italian restaurant on suk soi 10 (i think), it was called via wei or something, drove past it last night and it was closed. A shame because it was a great restaurant, it was owned by an italian guy i think. Wonder what happened to it, it always seemed to have a good crowd eating there.

cheers

If you watch the close calls comp above, many of those riders stand up on the pegs, getting their weight off the rear wheel. Certainly seemed to help them.

A good day goes bad........everything is looking all soo good then the back wants to do its own thang.

What should be done? Is it really the case that backing off the gas will mean doom? Obviously its a natural reflex, but how overcome it?

Gotta laugh at the onlookers, sauntering down the hill like it happens every day round that corner

Unfortunately I am flying to england monday morning, so wont be doing any track days, but i might go and watch the kaeng krachan track day on sunday, there is also a meeting at Thailand CIrcuit on sat/sun so that is also an option

I'm going to see a car in cha am on the weekend so i'm hoping to check out the pirelli gig on sunday, won't be taking my bike though. Maybe see u there? Anyone else going?

cheers
