    Why would my kickstart stand jam?

    Because people get frustrated and jump up and down on the kickstarter  forcing it a bit further than its supposed to go  then it gets caught on the stand  or completely breaks the mechanism inside the engine casing..wretched things  on the wrong side of the bike  "purposely" designed to injure feet by smashing against the scooter body !!!

    It has always confused me why they still fit kickers on a fi bike. No batt, no EFI.

     

    I think there is some sort of capacitor that charges up whilst kicking  so the efi and fuel pump can operate without a battery  the "kickers" on those scooter are horrid though   and it takes some kicking to get them started (from cold with no battery) in my experience.

    Thanks for that, I was looking for a suitable image,

    That particular one has been there for at least 20 years   there are quite a few scattered around the Pattaya area.   I believe though that in the first  Pattaya "lockdown"  and alcohol ban they where all ordered closed

    don't remember any reports of  those types of shops flaunting the ban, my local small

    "mom and pop" shops did  but eventually they ran out too because the wholesalers ( like in the image)

    could not deliver any more.  :-(

    "H5N8 not only kills poultry but also infects humans without leaving symptoms," the head of the province's animal health department, Tran Xuan Dong, said.

    The World Health Organization (WHO) said last week the risk of human-to-human spread of the H5N8 strain of bird flu appears low, after seven people in Russia contacted the virus but were asymptomatic.

     

    so it infects humans but they show no symptoms   so we again shut down the whole world ?

    In fact, you could be out buying booze right now if you really wanted to !

    Well no because at 6 in the morning its not supposed to be for sale.

     

    Times of sale are 11.00 - 14.00 and 17.00 - 24.00     so from midnight till 11 am not for sale.

    that was of course before the latest no sale from 8pm till 4am    but at 4 am it was already covered ?

    MyBook Live

    The "live" bit being the important bit   the other important bit  being not to share the hard drive over the internet especially without some sort of firewall between the drive and the internet...  sharing it within your own LAN  would probably be ok       in other words disable "remote access"

    Are the restaurants legally selling alcohol in Jomtien? 

    Are they in Phuket ?

    Only one test required to get to Phuket, no biggy.

    Not to mention the fully vaccinated bit, and remember if that "no biggy" test turns out positive you'll be spending the holiday in a Covid camp !

    Make sure you do not have a fever or other sickness on the day you shall receive the vaccine.

    Make sure you have not taken Influenza vaccine a month before receiving the Covid vaccine

    They are talking about doing flu and  wuflu  shots one in each arm at the same time for UK  guinea pigs this winter.
