Could you please PM me any suggestions.

    Thanks in advance

    Hey Pandit.

    Already sharing 'the forgotten' if you've only just started it?

    Also I can't see it being that difficult to find 10 gig minimum of SHARE or somewhere to store it.If not, the newcomers aren't actually sharing anything, they're just leeching the files already being shared.

    If I have to find the time to search for and download new movies I can't see why this isn't done by everyone. Anyone not sharing 10 gig by a set date (if been on the hub for more than a few days) should be kicked for leaching. :o

    p.s. just started bt'ing..

    Hi all. At the moment we have no real share limit(so that noobs can connect to us first, then add later).At the moment the POLITE minimum is 2 gig which means that after a few days of trying the hub out your share should be AT LEAST 2 gig.Now the way these hubs work are that if we all share different files it will grow and grow into something good.Yet if have no NEW content then we'll all have identical share folders.

    Whats happening now is that we have the noobs coming in with little or no share files then downloading already shared files and then sharing these files(meaning we have no fresh content).What I suggest is that after the few days browsing period is up, that the minimum share should be(and this is a MINIMUM......not just a figure to be reached to satisfy the rules) 10 gig of files(hopefully a large percentage of movies and t.v. series(to remind us of home lol)).Iknow what your all thinking....do you have 10 gig of files??? Just copy some of your vcd's to your share folder and hey presto...Bob really is your uncle!!

    So what say we?

    10 gig after a few days of trying the hub out? :o

    OK thanks again all....I'm on the road now!!!...BEWARE!!

    Just to let you all know the absolute facts(IN MY AREA).I'll tell you how I got on...

    I decided on a Phantom 200 as suggested here on the forum and also at Ajarn.I found the bike of my dreams off the internet site http://www.mocyc.com/store/ (In thai but quite easy to use the search facility if you don't understand Thai)which again I was told about in the forums.I found a bike for 53,000 and then knocked him down to 48,000.The bike was 2 years and 2 months old...here's a picture 31337.jpg

    First of all I wanted my Thai driving licience for both a car and a motorbike.The car was no problem as I already have an English DL, but for the bike I had to complete a test.For both DL's they require:-

    1, Passport

    2, Non-Imm visa(of any kind)

    3, EITHER a, work permit or b,letter confirming your address from your embassy.For some reason when I went to the embassy they wanted to see NO proof of residency...they just took my word(kind of defeats the whole object)

    Ive seen it wrote that you only need a letter from your local police station instead of the embassy but I got one of these first and believe me THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT IT as I really tried(again this is this particular office). The letter from the embassy costs 1,600 baht and is a single sheet of paper(ridiculous) saying that they have nothing on file saying that the address stated is untrue(about 3/4 lines). They will not give the letter to you the same day so I asked for it to be posted to me as I live quite far away.

    Then off to the office of transportation which is situated nearly directly opposite sukhumvit soi 62(look for the archway leading into an avenue with no soi number)I gave all the documents to the lady behind the desk(was unsure where to go but in front of you as you walk in the MAIN doors there is a small desk.If you stand there for a while someone will tell you the window to goto.She filled in everything for me just asking for signatures.You also need special sized pictues and photocopies which can all be obtained here for low low cost(maybe 65 baht for pictues?).

    As I didnt have a current bike DL they asked me to come back the next day for the exam.There are 20 questions(multiple choice) which I scored 17(test is in English aswell).They also test you for colour blindness,depth perseption and reaction speed using a machine.Now onto the course.This consists of a go-kart sized course with about 6/7 signs to obey...4 of which are STOP signs.Then you need to weave in and out of cones and hey presto...you've passed.I saw lots of Thais mounting the curbs in their cars,knocking the cones over while reversing and going in the wrong direction....PASS..lol

    O.k...Now I need to get the bike into my name.You need to go to the same location as before(same location for driving course,driving licience,exam,registration.road tax and insurance!).You need to go with the person your buying the bike off so that he can provide his id card and signature (witnessed)...(this is presuming your buying second hand...if not most of this will be done for you by the shop I think).After you have both filled in the correct forms and the money is handed over you can then goto get your insurance sorted out(before you register your bike for some reason).As long as you have the document you have just filled out stating he has just sold the bike to you with his signature on it they will put the insurance into your name.The compulsory goverment insurance including tax etc for a 200 phantom came to 470 baht.For a smaller engine(less than 125) it is less.The place to arrange the insurance is just to your right as you walk into the building (small booth(closed for 1 hour for lunch 12-1pm)).

    Now upto floor3 to give your documents to the lady at the small desk infront of all the counters.She will then give you a number which you need to wait for being called and goto the correct window when told to do so.Wait about 1 hour and then they charge you about 430 baht which includes the transfer into your name and also the 1 year road tax.

    SORTED!!

    You now need to turn left out of the builing/avenue to drive for about 3 seconds before being stopped by the police(lol) and then they see you havent yet stuck the stickers on the bike.Quick explanation by pointing to the office over my shoulder and showing them the stickers and let go no problems.

    P.s. I DON'T have an international licience and I'm English so some details may not be the same for you....but mostly I think they should be.Also this is the requirements for this particular office in Bangkok.

    Hope this helps a few people.

    Should be buying the bike tomorrow and still no helmet!! Ive looked in lots of the small bike shops and at Seacon,Seri center,Central Bangna etc etc and the biggest I've found are 2 61cms.Funny enough only one goes over my head without pain(maybe extra padding??).The local helmets range from 100-1000 baht which is fine but I decided to goto a shop on Ekami and look at some imported helmets......18,000 baht!!!!!!!!!He reckons I might pick one up for between 7,500-10,000 at one shop but not sure.I'm not traveling long distances , mainly just for to and from work so I dont want to spend this kind of money.If you know of a shop anywhere with larger helmets then please post(61cm or more....61 is bare minimum).

    Thanks

    I had a phantom 200 a while back, they are really nice bikes, well built, balanced and sturdy.

    Out of the choice I'd go for the phantom 200.

    the difference is the 200 is a 4 stroke engine, air cooled with electric start.

    the 150 phantom is a 2 stroke (not the right engine or sound for the type of bike) and it is water cooled with a kick starter.

    The kawasaki boss is a 175.

    GO FOR THE 200 PHANTOM, trust me.

    Honda steeds are 400 or 600 cc, all imported, some good, some bad with dodgy books.

    All the other bikes are made in thailand and parts are available off the shelf.

    A secondhand 200 phantom should cost aroung 50000bht.

    ps

    I've got a 1400 for sale if interested.

    Thanks for the help so far guys and I'll probably be buying and registering a Honda Phantom 200 on thursday with any luck. Got a 2 year old for 48,000 and it seems in quite good nik. Brew who was selling his bike wanted 75,000 for(i think) a 3 year old!! Dave said about 50,000 and the guy was asking for 53,000 and I knocked him down 5,000. Well done Dave.

    O.K. here we go again...lol. Went to the helmet shop on udom suk and tried on 3 different styles of helmet.NONE of them fit me and 2 types just balanced on top of my head!! Wheres the best place for a big falang to get a larger helmet as the shop says all the shops near by are the same and only have the 1 size..... is nothing straight forward?
