i see myself for over 170 for it in no time

Can you translate that?

You're over 170kg?

You think it will get to 170kph in no time?

You think the price will be over 170k thb?

Superior ART on Wireless have a sperm bank from Thai and Chinese males.

If you require Caucasian Sperm then you would have to get it outside of Thailand,

*ahem*

Phuket is now well ahead of Pattaya in the Shitholes of Thailand list, firmly placed in the number one spot.

The OP's story is so typical.

Can't fathom why Westerners choose to live there.

they just didnt manage in 11 years to compare the DNA evidence with a main suspect - a chiang mai university professor (thai)....

I thought it was Tony the Tourist Policeman who was convicted over the internet.

Seems it's Uni Professor this time.

Maybe Dave had the answer and that's why he ended up moat floating.

First 3 laps TmcBlog tried to get the topspeed of each gear on straight.. From the south end to the north end.. The speed started from about 20 km/h at first gear.. WOT until redline and got:

1st gear up to 45 km/h

2nd gear up to 75 km/h

3rd gear up to 90 km/h

4rd gear up to 120 km/h

5th gear up to 150 km/h

Embarrassing.

OTT design for posers.

A 100 pony 600cc-er, cool, a piddly 20 something at the wheel-er 250, embarrassing.

Might as well get an old Toyota MR2 and put on the Ferrari 355 Bodykit.

Looking forward to the specs, are they going to give it even less top-end power in order to match the CBR250R's torque?

Out of interest, I know some first class motorbike insurances cover medical to a certain degree, and presumably much higher than the K-Bank card.

Sumet do a great deal for CBR250R, first class insurance at 6000thb p/a.

I personally don't know what medical costs it covers, but you may be interested in something like that if you don't have a main insurance policy.

Bupa do a good one at about 1000thb per month, and I'm sure there's lots and lots and lots of other options.

The average spill n scratch" isn't what i am worried about.

Then you need proper insurance mate.

With big bikes I always pull over to let them through, relax, and enjoy the sight of a bigger bike as we cruise along.

Seems that most Thais with a bigger bike (with the exception of cheap,cooked 20 year old 50,000thb CB400s etc) don't feel the need to risk death just to gloat and feel good in themselves.

In heavy traffic I pull aside and let them through if there's a scooter or similar right behind me thinking he has a point to prove. When the traffic lightens I drive normally which usually means over taking them. They usually don't take it very well.

I guess cbr250 can beat them only in mountains haha

It depends on the driver.

Is going through congested, unpredictable and dangerous traffic at 140kph just so you can gloat to somebody on a bigger bike worth it or not.

Fortunately I don't have any real ego issues so for me it isn't.

Seems that lots of Thais though....

Only in the sense that you're not going to extorted for hospital and ambulance and then threatened with imprisonment at a time when you'll least need it.

The hospitals are all set up for, and well experienced in it. The average spill n scratch isn't likely to cost more than 5000thb, and if it does than you use your real insurance.

Ambulance and then x-rays, care and medication all taken care of immediately at an expensive and western styled hospital for 500 baht a year is a good deal in my book. Especially as seeing that the ATM without this package is 200-300 baht anyway.

Glad they didn't reach for some tissues.

I was in the bar just behind them.

^^ Nice one. It's a nice little peace of mind to have, for 500 odd baht per year!

btw, did they mention that they debit the amount out of your account automatically each year?

The missus did ours and when I said it's almost time to renew them she said that's the procedure.

This morning was time for ksr 150 ( 2 of them) to show me that they are faster than cbr 250 , funny and sad at the same time.

But did they kick out a leg, spread out their knees, or wiggle their ass at you to show you that they've 'won'?

I can't actually imagine being that little.

But hey, TiT.

Anyone know where i could get a Leo Vince ONE EVO II CARBON SLIP-ON exhaust supplied in thailand, I've been trying the US based online companies but having difficulties trying to pay with a credit card issued outside of the states.

Interesting you should ask. That's the pipe I'm interested.

The baffler meets EU noise legalities, is reportedly not much louder than stock in dB level, but much deeper, and it gets good reviews.

Looks like the best pipe out there for those of us who don't want obnoxiously loud granny-frighteners.

I'd be interested in any replies.

btw, Tom from Biohazard in the US has great prices, will also address it to a Thai, stick a print out of your address in Thai on it and mark it as a personal gift. Which might help with customs if you order one from there.

Like most people, your Sino-Thai inlaws will be worth that amount at least, so I wouldn't worry.

Oh cry me river.

The teary eye'd Brits were probably waiing her and handing her their wallets as she was dragged back into her bar when the cameras were off.

It should be... If you follow the expert advice in this thread.

For those of you dreaming what a 140k per month apartment looks like, simply take a look on the real estate sites and you'll have an idea.

Great, thanks!

I've been dreaming of that for quite a while now, but could never think of a way to fulfill it.

Real estate sites, eh, such a simple solution.

More then I need or spend.

Is there a list of hospitals, or pretty much any govt/private hospital certified by ministry of health qualifies? what if a follow-up visit was required for the same accident? Does there even need to be an accident (police report), or you could walk into a hospital and get care?

No idea. We were taken to Phra Ram Gao. It's a very good, expensive hospital that is like a European hotel. Everything was covered immediately. Not one baht came out of our pockets. All x-rays and check-ups were okay and the medicine only needed to be given then and there, so there was no follow ups.

I'm sure that if you get a Thai speaker to enquire with K-Bank they will be happy to answer all the questions.

Yet again someone who cannot answer the OP.

Fascinating.

Paranoia based methods of denial, textbook defense mechanisms.

Fascinating.

The denial on show is psychologically fascinating.
