Damon Hypersport 

Said to produce the equivalent of 200hp , attain 200 mph and cover 200 miles in range ( even more if you take it easy ) .. is it the future ? 

All very nice  but

MSRP

Premier   $39,995 USD

HS           $24,995 USD

SX           $19,995 USD

SE           $16,995 USD

Where is the energy coming from to produce the "green" electricity  needed for all those new thirsty electric vehicles

 I'm hoping for hydrogen fuel vehicles   so we can just fill it up with good old rain water ????     

what's the betting that they would tax rain water ?

Even before the Covidiocy  they where saying there where something  like 35,000 unsold units in Pattaya !

 

Sorry poor recollection.   25,000 not 35,000 ????

"The Pattaya condo market is seeing significant oversupply according to Colliers Research, with more than 25,000 units remaining unsold as of the end of 2019"

Every time I search on Pirate Bay all I get is a screen sawing load a VPN.

no need for a VPN in Thailand

Try  using a host file ( https://www.abelhadigital.com/)    and U block origin  in your browser ( firefox) to get rid of the adverts.

If they are separated for 2 years I believe he/she can file for divorce and  the split is 50/50 of everything acquired during the marriage  things owned before the marriage are (supposed)  to be owned by the respective person who owned them before the marriage.

How will they help fill the malls when they are not full themselves?  Just look at the Base next door.  

Even before the Covidiocy  they where saying there where something  like 35,000 unsold units in Pattaya !

Apparently they eat 150 ++ kilograms of vegetation per day  that's a lot of food   on top of the 3 million baht and the Mahoot to feed too bit of a "white elephant"  no wonder there have been no takers.

Shrink wrap is the stuff used in the Kitchen.

 Ha-ha   I call it cellophane wrap or "cling film"   for the kitchen stuff.

Yes heat shrink is probably the better/proper name.

As someone suggested, amalgamating tape

That was me,    could do self amalgamating tape without cutting the existing wires then  cover the whole thing with a lengthwise cut bit of wider  black  plastic tube secured with back cable ties.

I've checked others, and they are the same, so it seems the few I've checked - one of them in Indonesia - did in fact leave the factory like this.

I'm very surprised about that !!!

Some action going on  around Bahn Amphur too.

Back hoe and roller making  another lane parallel to existing line new fence being installed.

you mean "Egyptian' , it wasn't bred in country unlike the UK pox..

The "UK variant" was found because of  the massive testing going on there  its quite possible it arrived from France  via the illegal immigrants crossing the Chanel into Kent.

Thanks, by 'shrink wrap' do you mean using a heat gun and a large diameter wire connector?

Yes shrink wrap (plastic tube) that  contracts when heated  you can use a  heat gun, cigarette lighter,soldering iron etc to shrink it once slid over the wires  which you'll have to cut and resolder to get the shrink wrap on in the first place.

If you want to do it "properly"  then buy a new wiring loom from Yamaha ????   It quite certain that it didn't leave the factory looking like that,  somewhere along the road the wires where cut and taped together again...normally its best to K.I.S.S

if it works leave it alone till it doesn't work.

Yes agree engine temp sensor  shrink wrap or self amalgamating tape would do.

I always had 3-5 uniformed officers banging on my door in the UK when they wanted to arrest or question me. And outside my house would be a marked police car, or 3.

One time I had a single uniformed Thai cop and a squad of 6 armed with rifles army soldiers knocking on my door at 6 AM

searching for a drug dealer   who happened to live on the 2nd floor   apartment under me  lucky we didn't have any machines guns to open fire with ????

• I can ride the bike but I should avoid the police.
• I no longer have to pay annual road tax.
• The Green Book is now non-transferable; they stamped every page to say so.
• I can sell the bike, but the new owner cannot register it in their own name, however they can have a bill of sale to prove that it's theirs.
• If I'd paid my road tax every year, I'd have avoided all this trouble. (This begs the question: how could I have paid my tax without appearing at the DLT every time, which would have created the problems I'm describing.)

Well what did I say ?

you probably have a "grey" green book  quite "dodgy"

keep it until it dies or confiscated by the plod please don't sell it to some unsuspecting person thinking they can register and own it themself...if sold to use on private property/off road or museum then ok that's a different matter.

You can't take it to the DLT because its a "grey" green book  IE:  if they run it through the computer it won't be found in their database and there will be  some "plomplems"

You could have had the bike inspected, pay road tax and insurance at one of the "inspection centres"   not at the DLT.

The "green book"  would still have been a "grey book"  meaning that  although it is an official looking book the details on it  do not match the records in the DLT database   some "jiggery pokery" had been done to achieve the green book .

You can sell it but the new owner will not be able to register it in their name and legally drive it on the road  same as you are not really legally on the road   hence the   "I should avoid the police"     when they see it has no tax sticker they can/will ask to see the green book and then the "plomplems" start.

I have wondered what is necessary to bring it into service if needed. New battery for sure, and probably the tank needs to be drained.

New engine oil,new fuel,new battery, if it has a carburettor ( probably not if only 2 years old)  then remove carb and clean thoroughly  if fuel injection then system may be ok  but probably would need  cleaning too,  maybe  new brake fluid,engine coolant and new tyres if you really want to splurge ! ????

perhaps these core issues also need addressing.
