Is it any wonder that every year or so there is a professor caught offering grades for sexual services here.

If the chip was any bigger it would break his shoulder.

A squidpert on the warpath to prove himself.

Don't think I'll bother much with this bike forum after all.

i believe not so wise riders and squids buy their bikes with their hearts and bikers with minds and hearts both.

I don't think anyone really cares what a guy with an 80 something HP bike declares about 'bikers', to be perfectly honest with you.

But hey, whatever.

That's not the original nose on the 1100- which bike did that fairing come from?

The only original parts on the gixxer are the frame and engine.

The fairings came from a Thai shop a few years ago, think they're modeled in Thailand and not off a bike, afaik.

Not exactly geared up in my condo.

'89 Gixxer 1100

Busa.

You don't need to explain yourself ll2.

Some people buy their bikes with their head. Like me with my car.

Bikers buy bikes with their hearts.

Both categories are good. Whichever works for you is good. If you choose a mass produced bike for practical reasons then cool. If you're a biker and buy with your heart then cool, too.

I sold my Benelli after 6 months as a Thai I know really wanted to buy it and I was considering a Hypermotard. He does rides with a Thai Benelli group and I've never heard anything but good feedback from them. Fun guys, fun bikers. What it's all about.

A neighbour works off shore and his Thai wife is interested in doing a TEFL course and doing part-time speaking and listening classes in her house with high-school students. She’s pretty much fluent in terms of speaking and listening, but I don’t think she’s studied all the grammar side of things, and probably doesn’t know much about verbs and nouns etc.

I’ve no idea about it. Do TEFL courses take on Thais? Do they need to have a certain TOEIC score or whatever it is? Are there cheap (and nasty ) Thai run TEFL or teaching courses for Thais?

I was there, from Cambodian side, in February 2013. The tickets were free but they asked for a "voluntary" donation of an amount of your choise. The main roads were all paved and there were guesthouses in Sra Am town so it was very easy to see this temple from Cambodia.

One can also cross over the border to Cambodia in Surin, then travel the 150km or so to the temple.

This is also a good run down.

Buying the right telescope

I found these articles on viewing Saturn interesting.

"The rings of Saturn should be visible in even the smallest telescope at 25x. A good 3-inch scope at 50x can show them as a separate structure detached on all sides from the ball of the planet. - See more at: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/viewing-saturn-the-planet-rings-and-moons/#sthash.sUMdF7du.dpuf"

Traffic in BKK isn't bad. Closing major parts of the road system shouldn't affect it much.

Congratulations, you understand what motorbikes and being a biker is about.

what does the word FRESH actually mean here?

fLesh?

Freshly cooked, Where ? at a factory near you can you say Cambodia

Would be that surprising if the food contained Cambodians?

We went to a big concert years ago near Khon Kaen. It had to be canceled because of all the fighting. Found out later that every one of the concerts on the tour had to be canceled because of the fighting. Not one concert on the entire tour got to finish. Must have been handy for Bodyslam who were headlining. They only had to play for a few minutes and got paid for the full whack.

Only now are Thai teens going through what American teens went through in the 1950's.

Just a lot more violently.

More and more reports, questioning the validity of the investigation. "Perfect" it certainly isn't.

It's perfect for a Thai investigation of a crime against foreigners.

No Thais. Check.

Confessions. Check.

What else matters? It's perfect.

I think the people who failed to see the joke fall in to that category.

I have hooked up a fan system that works off the wheels.

Oh wow, I've just got to see that. Pics?

It's just a series of elastic bands and 7-11 stamps molded into blades.

Wow, great.

Not as expensive as I thought.

This one from your link if 4k baht and mentions highest theoretical magnification as 152x.

But includes eyepieces for only 15x and 30x.

http://www.thaiexcite.com/Orion-FunScope-76mm-Tabletop-Reflector-Telescope.html

For 9k you get a max of 200x, but only 20x and 40x eyepieces.

http://www.thaiexcite.com/Orion-SkyScanner-100mm-Tabletop-Reflector-Telescope.html

200x must be pretty bladdy good.

Did you ride a cbr650f?

I did.

1000km over 2 days, as I was half considering of buying one.

And please post the photos of your benelli and camry so we have some photos at this thread.

Sure, should have some on my Ext. HDD.

About what magnification would you need to see similar to:

100x?

Danhig: and some people don't understand that there are people who drive bikes not for the passion but because of rational reasons but totally get that other people have different priorities.

Sure there are.

For them there is the Toyota Camry of the bike World. The CBR650.

Same as my Camry, might as well have beige oil in it, but will do 2 million KM between services and only depreciate 10 baht over 30 years.

Some people are bikers, some people use beige bikes for 'rational' reasons.
