  1. The smaller bikes, can go high, often. 5 ???? 5 ceeber 150/// RL= 11,500 Indicated 153 onest. Maybe 135-140 true. But w/ box & bag. 10%-Etol-91. Balance-beads of course.
  2. ...the plasticized paper ones, yes.
  3. papa has been scheming next N foray. Would like to ride from very N; CR, thence SW, using the roads closest to the M border until like PangMapha Sounds fun. Prolly hold out for the CB150. Love that bike.
  4. They, Honda, run a light professional driver around a track at steady speed until deletion..
  5. Most scoots have a decal near filler for fuel spec.
  6. People say ignorant <deleted> all the time.
  7. Zongzen produces over a million moto/year. My 7-y/o Lifan runs great. Registration should not be an issue.
  8. Mailing the ceeber150 Patty <===> Chiangrai =5500B/one way.
  9. So √-ed w/ Mango Scooter rental CM. Rented an Exciter from them a couple years back. Likey, but had mech issue ... funky starting, so changed for a MSlaz. Slaz seemed doggy, & securely lashing bag on pillion was tough. ;-( Ten, the Thai manager, said to call a few days ahead to see what is available. Offered me CB150 for 3500/2-weeks. Below are shots from their web-site:
  10. Cost Esthetics Weight/drag >>> performance.??
  11. Best sell it to a Thai. Expat not into these. Worth 10-15,000baht.
  12. So decided: papa’s days of riding from S to N are over. Patty to CR is like 3 days. So flying to CR next time. and will rent a bike. Fuel, lodging, 2000km. wear and tear, Flying is, safer, faster, cheaper. Like 1800baht. r/t. out of BKK. Rental CB150, Exciter, even Wave125 be fine. on the little roads pap's firsts ever Thai m/c experience was a Wave 3-day rental out of MHS. Nearly wrecked it an hour before returning it to rental. 5 5
  13. Well that didn't work out. Shop was closed. Also asked at Mango rentals who have a big under-building space.. Rented from them before. Young Thai manager 'Ten' called farang overseas owner, but guy said no. So rode her home. Got soaked on the mountain pass, R12. ////////////////// KTM 200cc Left w/ ~1000 km. on the Amzoil, from local riding. Returned from N w/ like 3000 more. Oil level still fine. Never added any. Took 0.8 liter along in box, but untouched. Cruised at 100-120 kpm. The speedo is accurate. ///// Will take Lifan next time. Maybe some unpaved roads. Ya.
  14. Yea it was pretty swank. 500 is usual. Then did some riding up the very norther part of CM prov. The myriad of roads don't show up on google map but really wild. Steep. Could spend days there. No farang. Tribal. Fantastic.
