Any insight into where he was heading with it?

Prison .

Raising the age to 30 would be a great start but why stop there . I would suggest raising it to at least 110 and then only after you pass a strict medical exam and a 8 week bike skills course ! Imagine the lives saved

This looks like one of hundreds of corners of most mountain passes in the north of Thailand. Unless there something about the road surface that makes this extra slippery, I would just put it down to rider error.

If anything, this looks like a safe and easy corner, two lanes for uphill traffic. On the MHS loop, most of them are single lane.

Of course it is anecdotal evidence only , I might have seen the only four accidents on this corner . But it does seem like a fairly big coincidence that I have spent approximately 3 hours here over a period of 6 weeks and have seen this many accidents .

I think the problem is low powered bikes with 2 passengers taking a very sharp and steep corner .

They have all been single bike accidents that I have seen and at very slow speeds . Don't know if they can do anything about it but I would assume that there must have been hundreds of accidents in this spot .

This map link is right near the top of Doi Suthep mountain in Chiang Mai . I go hiking here fairly often and the trail exit is just across from where this link is . Over the last month I have witnessed one bike accident here and seen the aftermath of three others , all in this exact same spot . Makes me wonder how many other accidents have happened here and how many people have been seriously hurt .

There is one on display at the Chiang Mai Ducati dealer yesterday .

Bmw is giving f800r for 400 k thb with 40 k discount now!

400 k thb for it is good price really.

Check it out if interested.

where did you see the 400 k price and is that on the 2014 or 2015 model or both ? pretty good price imo

Be right back , just have to turn the aircon off .

Garbage man for Prime Minister

Had the stock Dunlop on my ER-6N , nasty tire , switched to Pirelli . Would never go back to Dunlop again .

Lies! This was a perfect police investigation and you farrangs just need time to understand.

Happiness in the Kingdom now sits at 120% and corruption has been eradicated.

Love live the Generalissimo

You reside in a dream world. I don't know about happiness but sure as god made little apples we still have corruption.

Seriously ?

National disgrace , these little children begging on the streets making money for organized crime .

Check out the BMW F800R , 440 000 baht , I am very happy with mine .

Most of the people that are bitching about Americans would love a green card , being rich and powerful makes (some) people jealous .

I like the average American more than I like most other nationalities , I am Canadian and people constantly ask me if I am American because of the similar accent , I tell them no I am Canadian and then they apologize , <deleted> do they have to apologize about .

I have owned a ER6N for 3 years now , 0 problems and I think a great bike for the price . I think a better looking bike than the Gladius IMO . But maybe you should be looking at the new Honda CB650 in that price range . I bought the new BMW F800R last week and it's a pretty big step up on the Kawasaki ER6N but a lot more money at ฿ 440,000 .

Have you taken the Honda or the Kawasaki for a test ride ?

II2 I ran the Rosso II's for two years and they are a great road tire but the difference with the SP2's is night and day. For BKK Rosso II's are your best choice but wait until you get the SP2's. You will be shocked by their cornering ability. My only complaint with them is they seem to be slightly heavier and I've lost a little top end speed but that could be to do with the speedo or me gaining weight. I'm going to try one of those GPS apps to calibrate my speed.

Take Care.

sorry , SP2's ? what tire is that ?

lose the Dunlop , grab the Pirelli . I noticed a big difference on my ER6N and would never use the stock Dunlops again

Enjoy your stay in Thailand

For anybody that is interested the BMW F800R is on display and available for test rides at Barcelona Auto in Chiang Mai , Bike salesman and mechanic Pon is a good guy and speaks English

Enjoy your stay in Thailand , it might be a bit longer than you thought it would be.

If this is a first date then no way should you be planning to spend that much.

Never blow cash on Thai girls.

Take her to a normal Thai restaurant and spend 500 Baht max. Encourage her to pay her share.

If she doesn't like it, tell her to bugger off.

Wow , you are pretty much like every Thai girls dream date ! They must be kicking your door down trying to hook up with you

What , no picture of the puppies , the dog breeder , the house where they were sold ? There are a couple of students playing with rabid dogs somewhere whose lives could be saved with this information .
