Dutchbike

I have a similair one, Fox ( or Copy) bought in Thailand, It's basicly mesh with pieces of body armour.

Mostly used by MotoX riders but suitable for street use with a long sleeve shirt or jacket over it.

$ 46,- sounds reasonable I believe I paid around 1250/1500 THB for it.

Is this a thread asking advice about webdesign or roadsafety in Thailand? LOL b.t.w 2 of the 3 links don't work for me.

As some posters wrote, Roadsafety ( or the lack of it) is what it is, and not much going to change,TIT It's still a great country to ride.

One of the nicest looking bike engines: MV Augusta 750 America

For those interested: 10 January Big Bike Party at Chang International Circuit Buriram followed by a Trackday organised by the track) on the 11th.

Latest reports suggest bikes may leave Laos via the Friendship Bridge at Savannakhet but not enter Laos here. The same applies at Nakorn Phanom - Tha Kek. The situation is not definite and can change.

Safe travels.

Last May we ( 2 bikes) had a troublefree re-entry into Thailand over the friendshipsbridge @ Savannakhet. That trip started with entering over the friendship bridge at Nong Khai/Vientienne.

Red before bikes are not allowed entering Laos @ Mukdahan/Savannkhet. But this may depend on the "mood" of the day of the Immigration officers.

Some inspiration:

thanks,we hit some great twists and rolling hills in other parts ,but didn't have the camera running,we were not even stopping to take pics it was all about keeping the ride flowing.

Nowadays it looks like people are so focused on some kind of digital recording it looks like it is the sole purpose of a ride to show others were you have been.I'm not accussing anyone since I'm guilty as well ;-)

The beste rides are recorded in your memory and last forever.

Vid works for me, nice roads and good song :-)

Have a good and safe trip papa! Keep the reports and ( when possible pics) coming. As you know last May I took a trip into Laos , really loved the country, nice people, stunning scenery.

According to the service manual:

Recommended transmission oil Honda 4-stroke oil or equivalent API

There's a active (sub) dealer in Buriram who sold quite some Dukes 200. I know, not very close to KK/Udon https://nl-nl.facebook.com/KtmBuriram

TOP the owner is a very friendly guy and speaks very good English ( he lived and worked several years in Australia)

Good info!!

Last May I had similar experiences and requirements entering Laos at Nong Khai.

With the proper paperwork ( as described above) a bit of patience and smiling all went smooth.

At Nong Khai you had to buy insurance after all formalities and nobody checked if we did.

DO NOT FORGET TO GET INSURANCE!! It will save you a lot of trouble in case something happens.

IRC iZ-003 Tyres are pretty good ( from what I've red) no 18" though.

Love the pics nice project!!

Here's a link with the NSR RR's specs: http://nsr-world.com/specs/nsr150/

AllanB. How much are they? And where is local?

Also strange that a Yamaha dealer has Honda's in stock!

I think Allan is reffering to that dealer In KK which has got a lot of 2 stroke NOS bikes, mostly underbones ( the TZM's they had were sold out a while ago)

A NOS NSR150SP let alone 30 would be a opportunity I only can dream about :-)

Building, gardening, hardware, tools etc: Thai Watasadu

Food and other stuff like Office supplies etc: MAKRO

Online computer, electronics etc : InvadeIT

But I also like the local markets for a bit of all and colore local.

In Holland there is a saying: "Luck is with the dumb people" and for sure this guy is pretty dumb (for that matter the camera bike as well: going between those lorries)

Making a camping out of my garden was more of a joke then ment serious :-) ( although it's big enough)

But you're welcome to camp in my garden ( I'm a 30 minutes ride away from the track)

During the Super GT last October ( when all the Hotels were fully booked) the Buriram United organisation made a camping on the training fields.

btw LL2: this week I'm leaving for un unexpected trip to Holland and sadly won't be back in time for the trackday on the 6th of December. so I won't be able to say hi. Enjoy your day(s) in Buriram and keep the rubber side down.

here's another suggestion, not far from the track.

http://www.amari.com/buriram-united/

http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/TH/Buriram-hotels/BEST-WESTERN-Royal-Buriram-Hotel/Hotel-Overview.do?propertyCode=99325

Are 2 nice options, there building another Amari overlooking the track, but not sure it will be finished in March.

I recommend to book well in advance since I expect it will be busy, there are also a few resorts near the track/stadium.

I'm already there :-) Looking forward for that big event.

Maybe a business opportunity as well, make a bike camping in my garden 555
