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

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?

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.

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

how long was that ride? hours? kms?
cheers

my experience wasn't so positive, took my fireblade to get something looked at and the mechanic told me i had to pay 10K baht to join some kind of Red Baron 'club' even before they looked at it, what a joke. I'd never go back to the place or recommend it My guess is that they couldn't be bothered looking at it, and wanted to fob me off. Though I've dealt with Vikram himself and he seems OK.

hi there
I wanna apply for a study visa for my GF. Does anyone know how long it would take? Shes a graduate, can i expect any obstacles? Has anyone done this that can share their experience? Would i be right in assuming i need not prove anything to the embassy regarding our relationship? I got the impression that any TG with enough money could get a study visa, right/wrong?
any help appreciated as i did a search on tv but not much came up.
cheers

hi there
I try to get away for about a week every couple of months and do a solitary retreat. I usually try and find a bungalow somewhere in a national park or near water, but i've never really found anywhere as remote as i prefer. Many years ago i sought monastic environments, but they were not suitable. Just wondering if anyone here knows a place that is within 2-3 hours drive of BKK and offers bungalow style accomodation that at least gives the feeling of being isolated.
regards

hi there
searched and found a lot on the yellow book but not the blue one. I have lived in my condo for about 3 years and have never done anything about getting my name in the blue book. Is it necessary? I went to do it but all kindsa things are needed such as certified translation of my passport.
Will i need to have my name in the blue book when i sell my condo?
cheers

Bikes are brought in this way as the maximum cc capacity for bikes legally produced or imported here is at the moment 250cc. last year it was 200cc etc. This does not apply with cars. Hence a lot of bikes are brought in as parts and a book is then applied for. Hope this helped
Not correct
Red baron and several others import big bikes complete only, not as parts.
any size of bike can be imported, taxed, checked and registered here
Thailands most sold Big Bike, Kawasaki, are made in Thailand, and the most popular one is EX 650cc
cars can also be imported as parts, but then when assembled to a car in Thailand excicetax will be calculated as a new car, so no reduction for age.
Importing a used car, a reduction in importduty and excicetax applies for every year car has been used before import
I don't think that is the case kata, I was at red baron just last week and khun vikrom told me none of his bikes were imported assembled. Indeed, he was saying that due to the currency situation he was no longer getting his bikes from japan, now they were coming from the states

hi there
Having just looked into getting a big bike, it seems about 90% of them have been shipped here in parts, tax paid on the parts, assembled, and then with the excise paid and an emissions test completed, a legal greenbook is issued for about 100K.
However it seems this is not possible to be done with a car in the same way, anyone know why? Is it a different department or something? Just curious.
cheers

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
