The standard of driving especially by the pick-ups/UTEs is pretty horrendous, some bikers are just as bad especially Chinese riders, I got taken out whilst riding a scooter by an Italian on a blind bend on the wrong side of the road. Nevertheless unacceptable figures.

As a Palace fan I don't give a monkies !

I admit not to having read the complete thread since my initial reply, but it sounds like there may be more than one issue here, and one that intrigues me is the stopping with the large guy onboard, since its not a crushed fuel line how about the the seat being compressed onto the filler cap breather hole? I had this many years ago on a Triumph cause by a tank bag and when the engine was gettinf 'starved' od fuel I just lifted the tankbag to clear the problem! When the bike refuses to star, lift the seat and perhaps remove filler cap and then try and start it. Good luck

Check fuel line is not crushed when weight is on the pillion, is the engine turning over but not starting, if that is the case i'd go for fuel or loose wire, however if the bike is carb rather than efi(2012 should be efi I would think) the bike would start with the fuel left in the float bowl. Hondas are very reliable in general especially something as new as this, wish I was over there and not in London to give you a hand! When sorted please post what thhe problem was, ps; have you tried any bike forums for ideas? All the best.

Why do you want a 'superbike'? all the locals ride small and every 'tinbasher' knows how to fix them, more up to date questions/answers can be found and asked on www.horizonsunlimited.com and good luck on your trip, and one big tip...TRAVEL LIGHT!. A friend of mine is buying in I think Maylasia a small Honda Wave and is travelling around SE Asia for about 10 weeks. Enjoy

Thats less that are probably heading to the UK

Its progress.. not perfect but progress. I am amazed.

Agree, 1000 baht is a lot of money for 300baht per day wagers.

Also he did plead guilty and as per Thai justice system penalty is reduced

1000 bht is a joke, If it was the jet ski operator, do you really think he is on 300bht per day? His ol' woman could go on the street and turn a trick for the 1000bht, I agree its a start but they have started with comedy first.

Bangkok only 13th?.......................................Must try harder!

I would rather drink p155, http://www.snopes.com/rumors/starbucks.asp Not the first story I have read of this nature, one big cheer from me when they go bust

Heck don't bother keeping them. Just give them a death sentence.

Ah......such is the compassion and understanding of human frailty.

You have no idea what drove her to this and her life is now destroyed.

Perhaps deeper thought of the overall problem is deserved.

What does it tell you about English women when a man with a hairy forehead beats them?

Brighton is the Gay Capital of Britain, the judges probably were unsure what a man looks like

I imagine KFC are horrified at all this free publicity they're getting.

"No publicity is bad publicity unless they spell your name wrong" Remember when Hewlett Packard were going to use the Gary Glitter song 'do you wanna touch?' to promote a new smart touch TV?You cannot buy that sort of publicity!

Yet another case of no crash helmet, I ride all year round in the UK so it is fair to say I am into motorcycles, Whenever I travel to Thailand and also in a couple of weeks to India, I will, as usual take my own helmet.

I had taught to me the importance of crash helmets the hard way, my father was killed when I was 5.5years old on a bike with no helmet.

Thais often get a 'bashing' over riding skills etc, but I would rather be on the road with Thai riders than many of the tourists, I am sure that many have possibly never ridden a pushbike , let alone a motorcycle.

Any death is tragic, but please don't increase the chances by not wearing an helmet, even if you think you don't look 'cool'.

Another tragic loss of 4 lives. This is not the moment to discuss helmets and driving proficiency. RIP

Really? When is the time to discuss it? After a few more hundred kids die

How about when the relatives of this family have had time to grieve. A bit of respect please ....

You reply as if the families will be reading this?

What is the problem, Facebook or making 1000bht offers?
