  1. I guess the Bachelor of Bus. Admin would be the most popular.

    What type of study schedule do you plan to have for it? For example full-time Mon-Fri or weekends?

    I think Ram or another uni has the option for both and the students can choose which scehdule they want, for example those working Mon-Fri will do the weekend one.

    Also, where will the place of study be?

    Well done and good luck. smile.png

  2. it just shows that i am a normal rider on a sport bike.

    I wouldn't be so modest.

    It's clear your riding skills are well above and beyond that of any normal riders.

    Flying through BKK traffic as fast as you can, keeping up with superbikes on a 45hp p-twin. This is the stuff of biking greats mate, and quite frankly, we are all in awe. Enjoy it. :)

  3. I think you're over reacting a bit LL2.

    It's great that you can ride a p-twin communter with such skill that you can keep up with 1000cc superbikes.

    It's great that you can redline your 200kg cbr650 at 100kph, 145kph and 170kph through the city.

    It all just shows how great a rider you are. :)

  4. i redline my bikes. In the city or not.

    Looks like we've got a Biker Great and Hero amongst us.

    Stand back in awe lads.

    its a bit hard to believe as well since most of the <deleted> day bkk is a gridlocked traffic jam that someone can go around redlining a 650 in 1st 2nd and 3rd without gettin getting splattered like a tomato in the first half hour ................coffee1.gif

    The CBR650 does 100kph in first.

    But this riding God can keep up with 1000cc Superbikes on a 45hp 500cc P-Twin, so you know, it's not his imagination at all. :D

  5. i guess it's not just issaan shops, it's everybody everywhere... last 2 months alone 4 new cars in my soi previously honda wave-only. they (can) hardly drive the car but they make it up with washing and polishing it every week :-)

    anyway, i'm glad it's cars and not the obligatory macho pickup with moron-soundsystem.........

    and yet nobody seems able to explain why the millions of second hand cars we see for sale are still so overpriced ...

    If normal rules of supply and demand were in force, then the 10 year second hand old Vios would be worth 10000 Baht, not 200000 Baht.

    Actually this has changed with the amount of 100k baht back Eco Car Scheme of 2 years ago.

    Many 2 yr old Eco cars have gone from 400k down to 255k baht in Thai classifieds.

    The same amount as a 10 year old Yaris or Jazz with 150k km on the odo. :huh:

  6. Ok Google expert, read again. I said exactly the same weight, not power. 20% extra hp sounds pretty close to me, your opinion may differ and I frankly don't care for it. Number of cylinders in these 2 bikes is well known and there was no need for me to mention it.

    Any other "smart" remarks?

    You'll have to forgive me, I've already quoted your sig.

    Study up and learn more about motorcycles Shurup. :)

  7. Did I say thet were exactly the same?

    both bikes weight the same and pretty much the same power

    CBR650 87hp produced by 4 cylinders 16v.

    Ninja 650 71hp produced by 2 cylinders 8v.

    22%+ power in an i-4 engine.

    You'll have to forgive me for not continuing. "Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference." :)

  8. They drive with no lights so that ghosts won't chase them. I am not making this up. Helmet and license fine increases are good, but that would not have mattered in this case. I have friend whose wife was killed in similar "just pull out, don't look what's coming" fashion. She on motorbike, car pulling out. They got tough with that driver: 5,000 baht fine. Enforce moving violations harshly, with jail sentences. But then again, police would have to work to do that......

    I believe it about Ghosts, Geez. , high fines would impact family, children no eat... Studies done in Southern California proved it just impacts family, cannot feed families, especially traffic cameras and right turn on reds, most people don't stop fully.

    They also paint their headlights red.

    Then drive down the wrong side of the road.

    Amazing that they've made it to the current level of evolution really.

  9. In Thailand vehicles mostly priced based on engine size. CBR650 is just a tad more expensive than the Ninja 650, both bikes weight the same and pretty much the same power and torque. A good competition for a Ninja.

    CBR650 - inline- 4 producing 87HP

    Ninja 650 - P Twin producing 71HP.

    If you don't know the difference you don't know much about bikes. biggrin.png

  10. Forget all you've read, learned, studied and observed. Disregard the daily news reports of extreme Thai violence over miniscule and petty issues. Thai culture is no different to the West. Thai society is no different to the West. Thais are not petty, they don't keep their emotions repressed until exploding, they can deal with losing confrontations and challenges in the same way most Westerners do.

    Thanks Runamile.

  11. Great bike and price for Thailand, for anyone looking for an easy, cheap mini sports-tourer.

    But man has it been hit by the ugly stick.

    Cheap.. depends on each person wallet. Mini, it is not.

    Ugly, depends on tastes.

    Try it again Sam.

    Cheap, also comparative to the market. Cheapest inline-4 available by the top 4 here by some way, unless you go for a Keeway Ching-Chong-Chow-Chang 600. Also cheap for parts as local made.

    So yes, it's cheap.

    Mini compared to what most people would consider a sports-cruiser.

    Ugly, oh yes, there's no denying that it will hurt the eyes of a blind man. biggrin.png

    Never mind Paz. biggrin.png
