If the measurements are the same and the bikes weight about the same, then I wouldn't see a problem.

Found the problem. Oil tank rubber connection defective. Fixing right now. Back on the road soon!

I have one. Been sitting still for a few months and just discovered a massive oil spill.

Great little bike though.

If it has the correct paperwork (green book with all taxes paid), then I don't see the problem.

I would wonder about the commercial sense, since vintage European bikes are usually more expensive here than in Europe.

The very first time I sat on a moped, my first moped. Dad had bought it from his friend. They were there teaching me what to do. I rode the first few meters in the parking lot. Came closer to the parking barrier, panicked and ended up hanging on the barrier, while the bike continued underneath it. Great entertainment for them, most embarrassing for me.

Thanks for this very insightful review.

Once would have been enough though. Hahaha

A picture would help. ..

As Dilligad said, safe yourself the trouble and endless headaches with the authorities, because in the end you'll have spent a lot of money and will ride an unregistered bike, which can be impounded at any time. It's just not worth it.

Lots of info on the subject on this forum.

Come back soon then, what are you waiting for?!? ?

I think it was around 120km/h.

I had the 200ST 10 years ago. It had the clutch cover like the left engine in your pictures.

I have a 2009 ER650n with under 10k on the odo. It's a good bike, excellent value for money, I like it but I don't love it. Thinking of getting a Street Twin or W800 if it becomes available.

I just can't stand modern bikes with all that plastic and futuristic designs. I would make an exception for the MV F3 though....sex on wheels!

I want to know too!

I believe it's an oil catch can to collect the oil mist. It connects to the crankcase as far as I know.

Should be here...

You can go with any bike, no problem.

I don't remember seeing any Z there...

Edit: looking at the map again, I'm not sure anymore. Maybe a bit further up the road. In any case, you can't miss it.

For those interested, I wrote a report of last year's event with lots of pics....

Yes, very nice event. Been going there several times. Lots of great bikes.

The only thing I hate is the music...if you plan on camping around there, forget getting any sleep.

That would be nice. At the last Motorshow I asked the sales guy and he said no, but then...you never know.

Ive been using the Thai made Bigass jeans for about 1 year now. Price/quality is good, they're soft and not hot at all. Also nice cut and style.

Another good thing is you can take out the knee protectors from the outside, which is very handy.

How much is it?

In Western culture, looking at women and admiring them is considered to be an evil crime on par with genocide or kitten strangling. To avoid such monstrous encounters westerm women have perfected a blank '1000 yard stare' and the ability to sub-conciously filter out any male forms from their field of view.

In Asia, women generally feel that an admiring look from a male is a compliment and so they are more likely to make eye contact and even engage in polite conversation.

I'm not talking about leering or letching here, just the normal fleeting eye contact that is part of natural human interaction. In the West political correctness has created a generation of socially isolated women that is the equivalent of a virtual burka.

So true!

Common sense really

I had a few great jobs.

At 14-15 I had a summer job as a do-all at a hotel in the mountains. I was the only boy in that age group and there were lots of girls vacationing there. Memorable!

Then I worked at a small, newly opened airport. We only had 2 to 3 flights a day. The rest of the time I spent reading.

I worked as a cinema projectionist. Great job, lots of freedom and free movies.

Then coffee machine technician and coffee trainer. Again, lots of freedom travelling in and around London.

But the best job (not the easiest) is without doubt the one I have now: self employed doing something I'm passionate about. I definitely work more, but the sense of freedom I feel is priceless.

(Side note: The jobs I hated the most were postman and waiter.)

Quite to the contrary I was a postman all my life loved it. It was unique to have a good paying job with benefits that I really enjoyed and when the time came after 30 years it took a $50,000 carrot to get me to walk through the door. I was a bit of a boring job but I worked at my people skills became friends with most of the people and dogs on my route and never failed to stop for a coffee or a beer. I made a boring job interesting like being a diplomat. I also thank the 30 years of free excersize that is still paying dividends as my legs still look and feel good at 78. My exwife has new knees after sitting at a desk for 30 years and uses a walker and a cane and she is younger than me. This wonderful job is now long gone. More casual and part time workers automation does all the sorting and handling you now just come to work there is no comaraderie you just grab your bag and go. My timing in life was perfect.

I agree with you elgordo. Postman isn't a bad job at all. I was just very unfortunate to get a difficult route with lots of high risers. While everybody was done by 2pm, I was out till at least 5. Sorting the letters and newspapers in the morning was a nightmare too. Thanks god I only did it for 3 months.

The best jobs for me were always those were I could be free and not have a boss looking over my shoulder all the time. I was never shy to take a job that was below my pay grade or for which I was over qualified, as long as I found it interesting and stimulating. Once the novelty wears off (usually after a few years), I never had problems quitting and moving on, even in different countries. Life is too short to get stuck in one place only and too interesting to do the same thing your whole life.

If I had listened to my family and keep the secure job, I would still work at the airport and be bored to death, hating every minute of it. Instead I now live in Thailand and I'm successful doing what I love to do.

I tried to read your long and incoherent post, but you lost me when calling China a peace loving country that is NOT destroying the planet. Lol

Also, in the educational environment in Thailand, it's the Thai teachers who consider grammar the all important factor, while Westerners prefer to teach listening and speaking.

There are so many other things wrong with your ideas, but I don't have the whole day.
