Who exactly is sat in their house or going about their daily routine and scared of a radical Muslim attack. Have they seriously achieved anything?

I am confused. Holy books keep being mentioned.Quran, Bible. Quran is reasonably clear, needs some renowned cleric to judge the odd point or two. When it comes to the Bible I am more unsure? Should it be Old or New testament. Eye for an eye or turn the other cheek? Personally ignore both.

It looks to be going pretty fast the way it shoots off into the distance and is gone in a few seconds, while the CB300 is climbing from 162 to 165 (indicated)

Haven't watched MotoGP in a while but onboard cams always gave the impression of faster moves than wide angle. Kawasaki 300 still impressive.

France is well and truly into the second stage of Jihad now, as are Thailand, and the Philippines. UK & probably Germany are in transition to the second stage

Interesting but hidden is the fact that these videos and blogs are run by fundamentalists and whack-jobs of different religions/polltics/lifestyles...no less dangerous in my view than those they seek to criticise and warn us of.

Indeed David Wood has a long history of slaughtering people in delis and machine gunning the staff of satirical magazines. You can always rely on silly equivalence arguments when facts assail you.

He is just the hand that stirs the pot.

As were the staff of Charlie Hedbo, perhaps we should all stop stirring and accept dhimmi status, except for those already on the death list for various forms of original sin.

Looks just like a Ninja 300 to me. Look at the tail and the 3 side vents on the side fairing.

From the vents, the black piece above the vents, the large black piece below the vents, and the angle of the tail, it is safe to assume that it is this bike.

Accept it could be, forgot camera lenses can give the impression of a fast overtake when a wide angle shot proves different.

The Muslim world is doing more than just condemning terrorism. Arab states are in the coalition fighting ISIS.

Only problem with that, is that some of these countries sponsor terrorism themselves. Saudi Arabia is the world's largest source of funds for Salafi jihadist terrorist militant groups and others provide weapons and funding for Islamic terrorists. It is not good enough to only fight the terrorists that are not their particular corner.

When the Saudis catch a terrorist alive he or she probably wishes they had been killed. I am sure that terrorism is financed directly by certain elements in the country. I am also sure that funds for the terrorists have also come from Western governments financing various freedom fighters to help overthrow anti western regimes. Where did IS suddenly spring up from?

Did anyone notice what appeared to be another bike tear past him on the inside when he was at 160kmh. About 6 min 40 secs in.

Looks like a red and white Ninja 300 flies past him at 4:26 while he's stuck at 162kph.

It's more than likely that the speedo is 10% optimistic, like the 250 it replaced, so about 146kph really. After that it climbed, slowly, to the high 160's.

I'd personally spend a little bit more and get a used Ninja 300 for about the same money.

Can't be another 300, went past too fast for that at 160.

Just a heads up. Washed bike yesterday, put some fuel in today and the well around the filler hole was full of water, drain hole obviously blocked, hopefully no water got in tank.

Agree on tyres now. Rear wheel has spun up twice this week accelerating in 2nd.

Owen Jones write s an interesting article on this on the guardian

I would ask one question of the clueless Mr Jones, how many murders, bombings, rapes, death threats and no go zones does it take before you begin to suspect that your cherished 'Islamophobia' is nothing more than a rational conclusion regarding Islam based on a growing mountain of evidence.

It's so funny to read liberals discussing what should be done when it is their political correctness, moral cowardice and obsession with their God (Multiculturalism) that is largely responsible for the mess we are in today.

It's so funny to read liberals discussing what should be done when it is their political correctness, moral cowardice and obsession with their God Gods and Belief System (Multiculturalism - Diversity - Global Warming - Climate Change... Wealth Redistribution... Unlimited Government Benefits - Free Everything ... Innocent Immigrants - Rights of Open Migration - Open Borders.. Christianity Bad / Islam Good... Israel Bad - Palestenians Good that is largely responsible for the mess we are in today.

Actually you just attacked my God and belief system (multiculturalism), but as being a multiculturalist I accept you as part of my system too. You can also be satirical about me, the narrow-minded can't insult us.

You just don't get it do you Islam in its most literal forms is anathema to multiculturalism, amply demonstrated by the disappearing Christian population in Islamic states. Submit to diversity, well good luck with that one especially if you are gay or a woman who wants to work or get an education.

Then why do I see so many Muslima women work in the streets of Thailand?

Try reading. Islam in its most literal forms, the same women might be blown to smithereens by some of their coreligionists for selling to infidels, selling on a Sunday or having their faces visible.

I know what I would do to all these would-be Islamic martyrs. Make them unacceptable in their after-life to the 70 virgins they are supposed to earn.

Maybe make them eat bacon

. According to Rear Admiral D.P. Mannix, who fought the Moros as a young lieutenant from 1907–1908, the Americans exploited Muslim taboos by wrapping dead Moros in pig's skin and "stuffing [their] mouth with pork", thereby deterring the Moros from continuing with their suicide attacks.

To me success means to be happy in your new environment.

Thailand is beautiful, that's for sure, but as I already wrote in some other thread, I am not quite happy here, because Thailand is more for old, retired expat community, not for young expats.

... unless they have a brain and can work, or work out what to do with their time.

Yes, you are right, but I didn't come to Thailand to do nothing.

I just want to say that it's not easy for young expats to have long term circle of friends within their age bracket, since the majority of farangs here are 50+.

You all speak about money, but to me being with friends, with like minded people, is important segment of life.

Agree. Unfortunately money is a bit of a necessity.

what is success ?

good weather, good food, good pussy ?

enough money not to worry about the bills or even old age ?

Watched a film on sat TV years ago just to pass time. Song started and didn't pay too mutch attention. Eventually listend to the words. Basically all a man needed in life. Choirs went "loose shoes tight pussy and a warm place to s**t"

Sleeping with women 20-30 years younger than you on a regular basis.

30 years younger would be a bit illegal.

Not for him or me!!!

Ahhhhhh

Suppose I should mention my gorgeous wife is over 50.

Sleeping with women 20-30 years younger than you on a regular basis.

30 years younger would be a bit illegal.

Working all your life, grabbing your nest egg and flying off to Patts/Phuket/Nana/Cowboy or similar.

Spending 3 or 4 years being a playboy on the cheap and still having enough cash left for a daily somtam.

Success!

You have achieved Nervana.

Oxygen Thief

Just a gambit? Work in the ME?

Thai women/SEA women are subjected to so much criticisms and it's either we are hoes or having brown skin is a low-class issue.We are make fun of as flat faces and even called the ugly species of the world.We can't have meat in our body bec it will be considered fat and if we are skinny...we are called surf boards...everything flat.If we can't speak English right, we are mocked for that too but when we do...we are copying or trying to speak like "farangs". It's a damn if you do, damn if you don't thing.

The worse part of it, our fellow Asian men would compare us to a blonde bomb-shell with a nice booty and pointed nose.

I'm Asian born w lighter skin but small nose and I have meat on.Yes I have flaws and been criticized to the point I want to get a nose surgery but I realized it's not worth-it.

I want Thai women to have more self-respect but if following trend/fashion makes them happy and doing it for themselves then I'm for it!!

It's already hard to be a woman,let alone to be an Asian woman.

Try being a australian aborigine woman,not much luck there.

Worked with a few Aussies, nice people but awful about Aborigines. I could post the term for a woman that they used but pointless.

Happen to be an "Expat". Suppose as an expat you have options? If work is not a consideration for income suppose you can choose your country of residence?

Tabloid news and stupidity. Is this as good as it gets?

POTY ... sort of unique to TV

POTY Campaigning ... unheard of last year.

Is it worth asking what POTY means? POSBY was a well known term in the UK military, took years to find out what that was about.

TGAU

Seen TAGU mentioned, still no idea what it is. Loose no sleep over it.

Gerbils

Is that to do with Costas or is he a dedicated badger man?

Pikery

Should that be Pikey? Lock stock and two smoking barrels.
