Ok.?

So should be kilts, sporran full of dollars, a black beret and black and white hooped T shirt.

That would be ok by me.

I still seem to remember from a tv show many years ago

that the early HD engine was not so reliable

or they had problems with production time.

and some French parts were use on the early HD engines or even complete

motors put in.

Again i could be wrong.

Had a feeling there was a French connection

Quote

1895 was a crucial year for motorcycle developers. French firm DeDion-Buton introduced the engine (used in both cycles and light trucks) that enabled mass production of motorcycles. It was employed not only by DeDion, but subsequently was copied by other manufacturers, including Harley-Davidson and Indian. Its four-stroke design was light, developed high rpm and employed a more reliable battery and coil-type electic ignition, but the lubrication system was crude and wasteful.

In Racine, Wisconsin, the Pennington Company was working on an internal combustion engine for a motorbike. The engine burned kerosene, and could rotate at speeds up to 500 rpm. The engines connecting rods were directly attached to rear axle cranks, an inflexible design and one that never entered production. America's first production motorcycle was the 1898 Orient-Aster, manufactured by the Mertz Company (Waltham, MA) using a copy of the DeDion-Buton engine. It was coupled to the rear wheel by a drive belt.

Most early motorcycles were equipped with pedals so that an unlucky rider with a failed engine could still get home. They were also handy for getting a little extra uphill push and for starting the machine.

So looking at your TV name you ride a Guzzi. Fantastic bikes, way ahead of HD's in engineering, ok admit the paper mache electrics did have their problems but those and the Ducatis' were nice machines.

I suppose when you look at the HD history Davidson was the Scottish engineer and Harley was the American guy who provided the cash then they really aren't American, they're Scottish bikes so HA's should really wear kilts with their Sporrans full of dollars.

Just sayin'.

I think there was a French connection there with HD at the start

was it not a French motor in the first ones ?

bit embarrassing for the HD brigade.  ( arm chair on wheels)

I could be wrong ?

Ooh La La, 

Ps , Still a bit unusual to hear all this

laundry done in Public.

Was he an ex-policeman ? 

or some other pillar of the community ?

Our Flooders will never give up looking for that water year after year after year . . . . The good news is that so many have learned that water runs downhill, not uphill, now.

Give us  more time,  we are working on it.

Every day if you want it to be........I use an old blended shag that gives off a fine slightly perfumed odour and is quite cheap with little tar content

I always wondered who used that  years ago

As far as Soi 6/1 I will leave that to you. I tried it once, but it hurt too much.

Give this a go,  it maybe right up your street.

Happy Songkran to you all.

how is this news????

 

she over reacted over her situation and then the issue was resolved later should be end of story... move along nothing to see here.

nothing harmed except her pride (people make mistakes when they are angry stop judging her for something so minor)

 

 

 

Anyone that wants to call the cops on me.

Does not go into the Minor incident bracket.

They go straight to the top of the Ace-hole list.

With red lights flashing.

Reckon if she had been nice from the get go, none of this would have happened.   now she is a super star.

I have been to seven Pattaya songkrans, four Naklua, two Issan, and once in Hua Hin, Phuket and Samui. 

I rate the Pattaya two years ago as the equal best, City Hall went out of their way to make it huge. There are international idiots, as you say, but it really is a day when Pattaya is taken over by the Thais. 

The other equal best was Issan. I have never been sexually assaulted as much that day, and I live in Pattaya. Go to an Issan town where you are the only whitey. I highly recommend it

Been there done that.

as I said,  it's fun.

You been here 7 years and you still like Songkran in Pattaya,  that's just weird.

Maybe try the side road of Soi 6, you may enjoy

the free attention

Happy Songkran to you all.

At the government housing estate in Na Jomtien ( which is simular-ish to the 9 Karat condo)

the price for 33 square meter unfurnished rooms on the ground floor started at 350,000 baht about 5 years ago  now they are asking 470,000 baht  that's straight from the government Ooh-Arton  organisation...no swimming pool and 100% Thai owned...fully done up there are people asking 800,000 baht for their 33 sq meter rooms.

Maybe be.

But i would  pay a bit more and get better neighbours.

Also if a load of rooms are about to be sold off in one building,

its welcome to 5 years of construction work from all the new owners.

Also the maintenance of the building is a big factor and Sink fund

The songkran festival is a unique, hugely popular, fun Thai festival that brings in tourists  from all over the world.

i don't think anyone likes piles of rubbish everywhere.

sonGkran by the way. 

I have been to Songkran,   up country a few times,   it was ok.

Loads of kids having fun,

Pattaya for Songkran,   is shit.   unless your a newbie.

I don't know any,   long term ex-pat who likes it.

Apart from some bar/restaurant owners who get more trade due  to the influx

of  international idiots who have no idea what songkran is about.,

I suspect your a newbie.
