Sell your crappy thumper and buy a Ninja 250R

I must admit the Ninja 250R is by far a better bike, looks better and I think faster, but saying that I am happy enough with the Honda, it's great around town and the odd longer trip.

I have had mine for a few days now with no problems, the manual says 91 gasohol and Benzine also 95 is okay, just like with everything you can be very unlucky. good outcome though!!

Looking for an Insurance company that has an office in Phuket, Insurance 1st class for a Honda CBR250 ABS, I have tried a couple of companies but they do not cover motorbikes, does anyone have 1st class insurance for there bike and the office is here in Phuket.

Cheers.

Went looking for my CBR a few days ago, one shop said 125k next shop 130k I settled for the 125k and immediate delivery, this was in Phuket.

He is asking 124,000 for a bike you can buy new in some places for 115k and here on Phuket for 125k something not quite right there!!!

Not only that, he's completely unwilling to negotiate on price. Strange indeed!!

Great I can sell my 2 day old CBR for 124,000 as well. hold there prices don't they lol

Currently owning a Kawasaki Ninja 650r - I am looking to upgrade to either a Ducati or Z1000 - wondering if still for sale....

owner upgraded to cbr250..........bike no longer available

lol a big down grade, it's okay much better around town which is where I do most of my driving, the Z was not good at low speeds, it was a pain around town, a lucky young Russian is now the new owner.

I love when the aggressor crys foul when confronted with the truth and starts reporting posts.

Grow thicker skin and try to avoid insulting others if you can't take it when dished on you.

And what truth would this be, where have I insulted anyone? do you know the difference between a tongue in cheek comment and a direct insult?

Sold the Z 2 days ago, now have the Honda CBR250 love it, much easier to drive around Phuket.

Yes thanks Peter it does make a difference!!!

It would seem there are a few people who choose to make personnel attacks on other forum members, in my case caused by a tongue in cheek comment which should have caused no more than a ripple, instead a huge wave ensued, quite a few people liked the comment because they understood it was a tongue in cheek statement and should not have been be taken too seriously even though this sort of thing does occur, the OP asked a very delicate question which might have attracted many unsavory replies instead of just the one tongue in cheek comment, what ensued was personnel attacks directed at me, I will not stand for this, I have never made a personnel attack on another forum member, yes I argue and quite a lot of the time provide helpful information, this is what a forum is all about, yes I will stick up for myself if someone insults me, I will also stick up for others if they are being personally attacked via these forums, will I keep posting yes of course I will, beware I will retaliate with words but never resort to vile personnel attacks used by other forum users.

Maybe I will try to be more careful when posting as some people are over sensitive.

Just to make it clear I am not upset by any comments made more angry that people can lower them selves into the gutter and purposely abuse others.

Have a nice day people, I have not taken offense to anything posted!!

_{It would seem I am not the only one back peddling!!}

I hope this does not descend into many insults, but it is heading that way and a few posters are now being nasty, Hippocrates!!

People are being nasty but honest, not trying to be funny at the expense of others.

Explain please? so it's okay to insult me directly which is at my expense but not okay to comment on something that is true and was a tongue in cheek comment?

^{My god the insults are starting to fly, does this make you nasty insulting misfits? who is actually in the wrong here, I have never personally attacked anyone on these forums, I find the comments directed at me to be vile and totally uncalled for.}

To Nomad Joe and Goober, is my comment that a lot of people clicked like, untrue! regarding a percentage of Asian girls?

Well firstly your comment wasn't "regarding a percentage" it was clearly directed at the OP, so to answer the question you should be asking; I have no idea if the OP's girlfriend has several other boyfriends which might be able to send her money. Of course it's silly to even suggest that something similar to what you posted didn't likely go through each and every one of the readers minds that have spent any amount of time in Thailand, which is why you got so many likes. You posted the obvious. The discussion here isn't about one rude and disrespectful post with a few likes. It's about your prevailing attitude on this board, which quite a few people seem to agree on.

Mate feel free to contact the mod, but please provide any posts where I have shown this so called prevailing attitude, are you actually saying I am in the minority? what is your opinion of the people who have clicked like to many of my posts?

Not going hunting for your threads, were getting way off topic. Off the to of my head, your squabble with cdmtdm you basically did the same thing you did in this thread. Others have commented similarly.

Do not post unless you can back up with proof!!

I hope this does not descend into many insults, but it is heading that way and a few posters are now being nasty, Hippocrates!!

What's sad is that you just don't get it and debate the most ridiculous points that are just a front for your perpetual back peddling.

Its just a circle jerk.

How did you ever function back in the UK? Don't answer that because its probably the reason you're here supporting someone else's family.

Calm down people no need to be nasty.

Mate are you proud of your personal attack directed clearly at me, I think you should be ashamed!!

Has the OP stated he is insulted?

Some of the comments are more stupid and offensive... got a lot of Bullsh-t anwsers.... sounds like some of the TV trolls need to leave TV and or Thailand itself.

I would say yes.

You would say yes but you don't know!! would have I been insulted absolutely not!!

Maybe people can see the light side unlike yourself.

But why? Why do you feel the need to insult the OP and his girlfriend? What motivates you to go off like in other threads I have seen? That's what I don't understand. Your excuses for your behavior are absolutely wrong. I am a member of several anonymous forums and none of them continually degrade into useless insults and petty bickering which I see you increasingly engaged in.

Has the OP stated he is insulted?

Anyway I very much doubt you will answer my question, I am going to be a good boring boy from now on!!

I say what I think and would say it to anyones face if I actually thought it was true

I seriously doubt that is true. You TYPE what you think. There are words for people that behave like that. You must be a delight at dinner parties. Making friends and influencing people eh?

kp. Try to answer this question honestly. No back peddling, no "but I never said.." If a complete stranger walked up to you in a bar and in front of your mates and accused your girlfriend of being a slut, what would you do?

I would not become violent as that solves nothing, I would question the Gf and if found to be true would finish with her and move on!!!

Plenty more fish in the sea!!

Welcome to the forum.

One of the phuket "must do's" is Jetski riding. The better chicks like a guy who can jetski.

One of the local tricks is to make sure you go late in the afternoon, when it is quite they will ususally give you a discount.
