piston broke

It's made of pig iron, that's why ....

Poppa wearing no5 shirt

Many a true word spoken in jest ...

Well that's the wrap sorted ! .

plenty of dealers in Thailand, Poppa - And more being added .....

Bajaj are building the New KTM 490 range (Available as either Duke, Super-Motard, Enduro, RC or Adventure) in a purpose built factory in Pune, India... Expected to be available late 2022... With a 60hp twin cyl engine & WP suspension - will knock the 500cc offerings from Honda / Benelli / Harley D / RE into NEXT WEEK .. My mate Kerry (who was Tony Rutter's race mechanic), reccons it's going to be the best new bike in it's class, for a long while - A true "game Changer". Is it a problem it's going to be made in india ? - Nope (thanks Poppa)...

Just ordered 2 (one for each leg) ..

i tend to agree .....

they are for cars - they don't remove / re-fit bike wheels ! just go to i moto and stop faffing around !

Keep up the good work Sir ! Maybe we could use you for a global ambasador for quieter motorcycling ?? .

don't mess around - just go to i moto. They got proper western fitting / balancing machines and a proper electronic tyre inflator - Plus highly skilled staff....

Certainly not a Harley - Thats for sure. 6 bikes ? - it's usual, apparently, when a bloke brags about something - He's lacking in other areas... i've got just the 1, btw ...

i'm getting this framed ..... lol

another hardley owner giving it the "big banana"

Like i said (they dont call me kissed and broke for nothing) ...

The bike in question has a key start .. Easy to lift the bike and bung it on the back of a pick up. Easy to replace the lock and wizz the bike up to nakhon nowhere, with a fake plate.

Jees, that's some coin to throw at a new bike to make it drive properly .....

What's the largest mountain in Liverpool ? Killa man for a giro ..... And old 'un, but ....

Bit like Liverpool has blugger all to do with decent football.... The way it goes i guess....

It's 95DB for all bikes - maybe it's 99DB on planet Zogg,. where you spend much of your time - but not here in Thailand. Soz and all that.

yep, not a good time to be modding yer ( credit Poppa) bike - i see many modd'd bikes for sale and feel sorry for the poor fella who unknowingly buys it and then turns up with all the papers at the transfer centre, only to be told to "do one" (poppa) .

Got his own language, apparently - part Klingon, part Arabic and part Detroit teenage black kid ... sadly translations are not available on google translate., so i'm bluggered what the hell he's harping on about most of the time.

It's got everything to do with loud exhausts - It's illegal to modify a bike once it has left the factory ( only exception is TIS stamped exhausts, which meet the 95db noise limit ) . As standard fit, a Harley exhaust will have to pass very strict sound and emission laws in the US - A typical Harley over here will have had the legal zorst ( credit Poppa Al) replaced with some wizz bang nonsense, and thus make stupid anti social noise levels, way way above the legal levels. There is no way in the reign of pig's puddin' that the Thai legal exhaust sound limit of 95DB has been increased to 99db Just for Harleys - Made me chuckle though ...

I see the "Talk and write like Poppa AL" lessons are doing well - Keep up the good work !

When this restoration is finished - will it be called a "Belle End" ??
