  1. The Medical certificate only from Nathon hospital?

    I used to do it from International hospital in Bohput, cannot any more? My yearly extension for retirement will be in 2 weeks.

    One more question with TM7 only one photo?

    So i guess you have make your extension now ??

    Anything to say about it. How did it go ???

    Thanxxxx

    No, my appointment was July the 10th Sunday, so I'v been to Nathon monday 11th, but it was not for the extension as I thought,

    They gave me the list every one know so I will go for my extension the 25th maybe,about one week before she told me but no date ?

    My extension ends the last day of July.

    As far as the medical certificate is concerned, no mention of Nathon hospital at all, I will go to International hospital Bohput like last year, certainly not 735Baht like in OP but 250 Baht smile.png

    any update on whether the medical from another hospital was accepted??
  2. I have a 650 Versys and find it a great all around bike. Super comfortable for longer rides but with plenty of giddy up for when the need or desire arises. Lots of tech support from Kawasaki here and pretty reasonable to buy new or used. Decent used can be had for 200,000 or so.

    Easy to get panniers for touring and it basically has a bullet proof engine.

  3. I have always ridden a bicycle, ever since I can remember.

    Most of my life was in Canada but the last ten years have been spent here on Samui. When I first started riding here I never saw another soul on a bike but now I cannot go for a ride without seeing at least a few other hardy souls out.

    Here are a couple of my observations and comments.

    Firstly.....why do most drivers never give any spare room to bikes that are riding on the shoulder? When there is no traffic coming the other way they still crowd you and pass by quite close, why do they not demonstrate courtesy and give the biker a bit of comfort room at no cost to themselves? God forbid the biker has to take evasive action due to a dog or a kid and ...WHAM...gets greased by a pickup who had room to give.

    I was out today and got a flat. I used to have a pump on my bike but someone stole it. Happened about 5k from my friends house so thought ok, just push the bike there and ask him to drive me and the bike home so I can fix the tire. Well, it turned into a social experiment. I had endured a few breakdowns in Canada and at most two or three cars would pass you before somebody pulled over and asked if you needed a hand. Today I made it all the way to my friends house and was passed by about 50-60 vehicles of all type, not one offer of help or even to ask if everything was ok.

    Kinda sad really.

  4. Hi Jonny, I have a 46cm fixed Givi windscreen. I am about 180cm so my eyes are above the screen but all the crap and air gets deflected above me. Really works wonders in the rain and I have no overheating issues.

  5. Have one on my Versys and it really cuts the wind pounding you get down. Mine is a taller touring shield so great in the rain and I have had some truly enormous bugs meet their maker on the screen....better than my face!
