Picked up the Lifan & rode up to Mae Sai today. Got rained on some. 1149 & beyond 2mor. ????

Good to know. What is 2nd & 3rd rules?

"Some quite naive ideas here like motocycle guys. Do you really believe they will lift and carry it manually up 30 floors with some straps around the shoulder or so? The Hulk?" to clarify: Ask taxi drivers if they know people to help. Maybe Cambodians, Lao, or Rhyinga.

Perhaps ask the company that sells the panels, for delivery service. Or ask mocy taxi.

Fri, 26 Aug., 2022 BKK airport; took Bell travel here. Waiting for 1:30 pm flight to CNX. Hoping to reach CM guest house by 4pm.

Thanks for the up-date/clarification.

Climber 1. Yesty, took the exhaust pipes apart to re-seal [silicone] the slip-joint before the resonator.. It has been leaking and making a greasy mess. 2. Had the lads change the oil today. 0.6 liter Amsoil 10w40. The old oil looked pretty murky. Should have changed it earlier.

3. ...been adding a splash of 2T oil to the E10 in the ceeber, Lifan & KTM; ~5ml/1-teaspoon for ~8 liter gas on fill-up. Theoretically reduces ring/wall friction & reduces carbon buildup >> sticking of rings in the grove >> blow-by & maybe prevents tank rusting somewhat. Seems to run smoother.

old tires ≠ original tires. Tested tires this AM. Pavement concrete & asphalt. Smooth & broken. Dirt trail, roots and rocks. Sand. Overall real good. Not noisy @ speed. Smaller size, so considerably lighter and seemed nimbler. ????

Tires came in and iMoto crew mounted. 550b for 2 tubes & labor. Tires minted this week. papa smiling.

Prooly be leaving before end of month. Fly and rent a Lifan X200 from Riders Corner, CM. ????

No.

Dollars or baht?

ass u me

So the price of a bike actually for sale is 6KB [$170] more than the same one that does not exist.? Go for the imaginary one.

Dynabeads. Bought from Chiangmai Saddlebags but they are out of biz. Also Contact Balance Beads. Both avail ebay, but shipping is high.

#2: Balance Beads, for tires. Perfectly balanced tires. Smoother ride at highway speeds. Faster and better fuel economy & tire life.

Maybe some simple mod to your bike that was really good. #1 de papa: those mesh venting seat covers; super cheap & effective. Whats Urs?

Ordered some new tires for the Lifan. My old tires are actually way oversized for the rims. Width: rim old tire size new tire size F 1.6” 90mm/3.55” 70mm / 2.75” R 1.85 4.3” 3” I think it will ride better. Will have iMoto mount w/ new tubes and balance-beads then, ready for Laos., later.

no. Great plan; let's do that. & free beer.!!
