This sounds cool, do they have equipment available for beginners for rent?

will the police accept a photocopy of my thai license as i like to leave the real one at home having lost in once then having to jump thru hoops including yet another residence certificate to get a replacement....dont want the hassle of a fine for not carrying the real thing

Maybe wear a kidney belt. I find it helps a lot.

you can get similar to this belt in Pharma Choice for 500 baht...u see people working at Tesco stacking the shelves wearing them

I had a CBR250 but sold it for the same reason plus it used to cripple my arms and shoulders too

I have seen a couple of people convert the CBR250 to an upright bar position with the top of the fairing and screen cut back

killed by Mossad no doubt to demonize Putin further

Getting PDF to text first is a minor miracle. From there, hoping to get something that will keep the format is a tougher find. It also depends on whether you are willing to pay for the service. Adobe Reader now offers conversion, but it's not free. Check here for free solutions:

The issue of how hard it is to get a PDF to text depends on whether your PDF is in text format or scanned images. If it is text, it is also critical whether the font information was saved. It not, you just get gibberish from it. I ended up using a paid solution (Tipard) because of frequent docs that were in scanned format or without font data, and also for Thai support, but Spanish is commonly available in free software.

OmniPage SE came with my Canon printer. It does OCR with format preservation, but I'm not sure if it does Spanish or can work from a PDF rather than a physical book.

Once you get Spanish text out of your PDF, you will have to run it through Google Translate to get English text (copy/paste relevant sections). This will be tedious for something as large as a book. You will probably have to just translate pages as needed for whatever you are trying to accomplish, or find a Spanish friend to help you with reading the book.

"You will probably have to just translate pages as needed for whatever you are trying to accomplish"

the pages in the pdf will copy and paste so i will just do that as and when needed

thanks to those who took the trouble to reply

^I will try the place near Airport Plaza .I am convinced that these parts must be available in Thailand somewhere without having to mail order from America.i will also try my regular Thai mechanic ,who is self employed and who i communicate with through my wife (as he does not speak English or me Thai ).

if you find out where to source these parts in Thailand please let us know

been looking for a car workshop manual for my motor and have found a pdf file online with 900 pages but the text is in Spanish

is there a way to convert it to English and keep the same format ?

try accessing it thru the news index...it seems to work for me

Except for the figures quoted there is nothing new in this news.

<quote> "The most common single type of incident in 2014 involved verbal abuse directed at random Jewish people in public," the group said in a report. In many cases, "the victims were ordinary Jewish people, male or female, attacked or abused while going about their daily business in public places,"...

Well, 1,168 incidents reported allows to assume some unreported ones, doesn't it?

What I would like to see in these reports is a fair information on not only victims but perpetrators as well.

The victims are clearly "random ordinary Jewish people".

I would like to see similar general description of perpetrators... but it's nowhere to be seen.

IMHO it would be "specific violent Muslim people". Naturally, it is an assumption only. But I trust my own gut feeling.

The report in its present form looks like it has been edited in Sweden.

Don't you know by now that mentioning perpetrators by ethnic or religion afflation is a taboo

and politically incorrect? god forbid that Muslim be mentioned of fear or reprisal and intimidations

from all Muslim's quarters...

Beside, Jews were used as a whipping post for centuries now, when a group of people want to blame

and hate someone, they usually start with the Jews...nothing new here...

is that the reason that jews have been expelled from 109 countries since AD250 ?

I know an Aussie guy who was married for several years ran a succesful restaurant bought a house condo and land all in her name

he went to the hospital for some tests and came home and told his wife he had throat cancer

she split with him the next day..devastaed he went back to aus and took two years to get sorted then returned to Thailand

went to see the wife to sort out the divorce and split of the assets and was threatened with murder if he tried to take the matter to court

nice people...wouldnt trust anyone here especially when the girl is old enough to be your daughter/grandaughter

Asia insurance does a bike policy 3rd party that covers damage to other vehicle and medical for its pasengers plus a 100k bail bond for 1699 baht and if u ask for a discount like i did its 1500 baht...could be invaluable if u have a collision with an expensive car or a bike carrying kids as the thais and the police will say its your fault

Yes, if it is your fault they will say it is.

plenty of stories on TV where witnesses have accused the farang when it hasnt been his fault...

the point being it is important to have at least 3rd class insurance on any vehicle

when i go to insure and tax my motorcycle the govt office prints out the receipt for the insurance which i then use in the office next door to purchase the road tax

Yes, you are insured but need papers to know the company.........are you saying that the procedure is different for a car whereby you purchase compulsory insurance from an outside source?

Yes, original license is required, just copy is not enough...........the license has been lost my gripe is that they are reuiring documents that were provided when the license was issued...there cannot be justification to provide a residence certificate to get a copy of an already current license

recently bought a cheap car, the sticker on the window says the car is taxed until July 2558/2015

didnt receive any document from the seller regarding insurance

am i correct in saying the car must have the compulsory insurance already due to the vehicle being taxed?

i only have the transfer fee receipt of 655 baht....do i need to get a copy of the insurance document or will the tax sticker be enough?

another question,while i was at the office i told them i had lost/misplaced my 5 year thai license

the license is still valid until 2018 and i have a photocopy to prove

they said in order to issue a new one i had to produce a photocopy of my passport and visa...no problem

but also a letter from my condo and a residence certificate costing 500 baht and a couple of trips to immigration

I pointed out that the license was still valid as stated on the photocopy and i was not requiring a new license just a copy of the old one

fell on deaf ears

and the moral of this story is...dont buy your weed from a thai as they have no morals, honour or sense of shame

well heres the answer but because certain groups of people are not allowed to be criticised or exposed i suspect the answer will be removed

The "answer" might be removed because it is so ridiculous. You found a few Jews that support multiculturalism. So what? They have all kinds of different opinions on just about everything.

I posted a reasonable reply to your post pointing out who is responsible and why mass immigration into europe has been promoted but unfortunately it has been removed

je suis charlie is only for people who support the establishment sanctioned point of view

euh

give them the other cheeck ???

politicians welcomed the immigrants without any referendum of the people

flooded the country with uneducated people with different believe views, ...and for what ?

aging population that does not make enough children ? voting for some socialist politicians that give everything away to those illegal / or newcommers that do not contribute to the economy ????

and for what ?

well heres the answer but because certain groups of people are not allowed to be criticised or exposed i suspect the answer will be removed

je suis charlie ....only when it suits

ebay/amazon/postage/import tax/risk of not receiving it etc...they must sell them somewhere locally?..they are made in China

recently bought a Nissan NV and although the aircon is ice cold there is no option to blow through the opening on the top of the dashboard

onto the windscreen . I noticed the other day when it was raining that the inside of the windscreen misted up

The aircon unit control only has settings for recirculate and vent from outside along with fan speed and blows out the front of the dashboard only

so i would like to know if and where i can purchase a windscreen blower that plugs into the 12V cigarette lighter

I am in CM

got some 3rd party today for the NV for 2950 baht

want to get 3rd party insurance on my 13 year old Nissan NV and my scooter (already have the govt insurance)

can anyone recommend a broker or policy?

thanks

Sweden is heading to be 40% muslim by 2030 so u can understand why the indigenous population are getting fed up with the liberal immigration policies that the NWO controlled govt is pursuing...northern europe is going to have big trouble soon

for any NV owner thats interested here is a pdf file of the owners manual that came with the car when it was new....it is in thai language
