Yes i am sure the book has it correct, not the real people
Anyhow, back to the topic at hand. So would you care to share your BUSINESS experience? hopefully the real life not what you read in the books
There is a book? I imagine they actually knew the correct names of the person..and the siblings. Let me know the title and I'll keep an eye out for a copy for you
the sad part is you actually think you smart
I guess nothing on the topic?
You think I am smart
Lemoncake, from your posting style, I believe that one of your best qualities is your ability to make others look so good
LOL.....

So the poor OP is made fun of by some for not knowing how much electric, water or internet may cost and then also makes fun of their wives for not being able to make a phone call.
Well, I also would not know how much electricity and water and an internet system would cost for a hotel, so if I wanted to know, I would ask. Because you know how much your electricity costs at your condo or home, does not equate to a hotel. Seems logical to ask for some information on this.
That one poster feels the need to charge by the hour for such info, probably says more about his own business than anything else and as another poster eludes above, seems he has a poor hotel himself somewhere with no guests. Not the ideal model to garner info I would think.
I guess that is why there are people who own business and people who only want to know.
I am certain a halfwit would understand that different hotels have different bills, depending on number of rooms, occupancy, even down to type if air cons used, energy saving smart cards etc
Price per unit is the same nationwide.
Not the wisest choice to post utter rubbish based on what you think or others like to think, but I guess in Thailand all become savy business people with highest of education and money sense, and yet for some reason struggling to live off pension or in 5000 baht rooms
Oh you big business owner you...or do you prefer 'entrepreneur'
Funny thing is, most people become business owners, not born business owners, unless fabulously wealthy and handed to them...is that you fruitcake? Fabulously wealthy and handed a 3 room guesthouse in the ass end of civilization?
Most people could gather from information raised, that if you had a 15 room hotel and it cost xxx amount, then if you wanted to run a 30 room hotel, the electric should cost xxx amount less a % for common areas and that could be good enough for budgetry purposes....but I would like to hear fruit cakes Harvard business version.
'well considering that i said i own a hotel'
3 rooms above a shop house hardly counts as a hotel.....unless you're ' bigging it up' like all the people you keep dissing.....

Hell I use my Kawasaki 650 ER6n in Pattaya & it rides in between traffic lanes effortlessly. And the weight is quite a bit more than the 400 scooters.
Pattaya would be do-able for the ride, but as others suggested it is old & was not the most popular scooter back in it's day so parts may have to be tracked down. But if the price is right you can't get to banged up on resale. The PCX will lose value quickly the minute they change the model cut( about every 3rd year the bike loses value. The Forza or Sim probably a better ride but way more than what you will be paying. And That old you have inspections every year. Good luck on any way you go with it!
i'd rather be taking PCX depreciation on the chin rather than ER6N depreciation now the CB500 range is out.....
a 3 year old PCX is worth circa 50,000b - compared to its 72,500b purchace price - some loss - that's almost as cheap as getting the Baht bus.
A geared 650cc bike in Pattaya traffic is pure torture, thats why "in Pattaya the PCX is king"

Too small fir me but probably a good idea to list it in the TV Classifieds and on GT Rider website. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
thanks for the tip......

pm me if interested...i'm in Pattaya,.....

Riding around town= PCX.
One time I was riding around town on my PCX with a Forza on my tail pipe and as soon as we hit traffic he was not going anywhere and was stuck behind cars and I never saw him again.
The Forza must surely be one of the top contenders as most ugly scooter ever, yes?
Out on the highway a Forza/Sym is way better than a PCX.
just about sums up why - 'in pattaya, pcx is king'.......

77000!!! Keen price if that includes on the road and one years theft insurance!
I would pay that in a heart beat. All the dealers around Pattaya are asking 82900 or more.
Chiang Mai Gate is a fair hike to buy a bike though.
Anyone know of a dealer in Bangkok or close by that has price on or near 77k?
I am ready to buy.
was quoted 72,500 at mityon yesterday.....plus 1900 otr, - theft ins was 5000 as i recall....matt black 3000b x tra

Anyone heard of rebates within 4/5 months? some claim they had them at this time
1yr 1 month......4 month, don't believe....

It has been suggested that it is caused by a build up of dust in the clutch caused by doing a lot of stop and go city riding. It is not unique to PCX as many CVT scooters suffer from this. A good rural ride at 80-90 kph will "blow out" the dust and the shudder will diminish or disappear until the next bout of stop and go city riding causes the dust to build up again.
agreed.....

"we'll package it up and send it to you in the post, first class, delivered straight through your letterbox".
Yes right, I'm sure. This has to be a spoof web site. DERV at 55p a litre?
"There appears to be a problem with our ordering system"
I bet there is.
don't they do humour in Lancs ?

In Thailand the Brio is generally not as well rated.
compared to what ? - show us some test reports to back up your comment, if you don't mind......
Thai brio gets a thumbs up from 'honest john', who states 'the Brio is a terrific little car' - and apparently has bought one for "a friend' in Thailand... his money, his choice....

a 1.2-1.3 liter engine with an automatic is an utter dog.
mmmmm,

a 1.2-1.3 liter engine with an automatic is an utter dog.
mmmmm, this guy doesn't doesn't seem to agree......
'The Brio is the most advanced automatic car in its segment. The only one to sport a five speed transmission, it is practically more fuel efficient than the 4-speed units running in the competition. Not only is it comfortable but also very convenient to use if you encounter traffic on a daily basis'
'The convenience of the automatic in city driving is simply phenomenal and addictive too. it is definitely a great package for those who keep comfort and convenience on top priority.'

Sorry to sound like a biker magazine readers letters section, but the fact is that with "simple mods" you will not get much more power (1 or 2 HP at the most) out of a today's fuel injected engine. But the bike will be more noisy and use more fuel, and you may end up placing thing back as they were. Also from what I know, your bike comes unrestricted already, so there is no easy trick to play first.
Here's why:
- "performance" exhaust on a small displacement, non-tuned 4 strokes engine does very little. The job of the exhausth is to pull out as much spent gases as quick as possible, because the engine is turning fast and/or a lot of fresh mixture need to take its place in the chamber. What happens, is that in a not-tuned engine, there is never a lot of "fresh mixture".
- "custom ECU" also will do little. What it does is try to trick the factory ECO to alter the fuel/air ratio in certian ranges to give more grunt, in that sense it can be effective for some low torque, but not for peak power. The reason is that peak power is reached with a lean mixture, and that is exactly what the factory ECU does, for the sake of emission testing, and fuel usage.
Now, the two things above would instead be very needed once the following is done first:
- Engineered airbox. First and foremost power factor is chamber pressure, that's why turbo kicks ass. On a naturally aspirated engoine one can get slightly above 1 atm with special air intakes, unfortunately these are not really effective at slow speeds like a street bike likely goes more often.
- Top end rebuild. Here things gets interesting, and really expensive. Special parts are hard to get, and labour must be performed to exceptional levels to be effective and not destroy things. Usually one starts from the top end, with a complete head port, head skimming, also the throttle body gets ported according to the specific goals (torque or peak power). Add the usual custom cams (try two or three profiles before getting the right one), and of course a big bore kit is also a must (if available, otherwise just a racing piston with short mantel and two rings only), as well a restroking kit.
Then if you are sick enough and with too much money you will start working the bottom end. Titanium conrods, skimmed and polished crank, skimmed flywheel, hi-speed bearings, then lightening work on clutch and gears.
All that considered, my best advice for more power on a bike that is unrestricted alreadys, is to buy more bike.
well said bloke...

Your ignorance of all things motorcycle related continues to astound me not only on this forum, but on other forums where you have made technically uninformed comments
