Broken Record

This seems to be a noise pollution country.  The cars and motorcycles are out of control.  The worst is any kind of music or verbal advertising on speakers cannot stand how the volume is always turned up.  For what?

The whine of entitled, self serving, self important delusional Farangs drowns out all other noise in Pattaya.

Off Lazada , think it was about 800 baht with the fittings.its a universal one not specific to the 160, so was a bit fiddly, make sure you tighten your nuts.

If you can find a bar that fits between the mirrors buy that and anchor the fitting to that, it's hard to fix to the wing mirrors.well was for me.

Found the windshield as well as your review, thanks AF. I will get a bar and anchor to that, thanks again.

are these the original tires or did you change them, I am thinking about using Michelin, did anybody changed their tires and/or suspension

I put YSS suspension back and front, a noticeable upgrade in my opinion, Tyres are still stock, but interested in any comments about the tyres.

We've already figured out that your GF is 25yo from your previous post.

His 'girlfriends' real boyfriend is probably the same age too. ????

Plenty of time for that to happen, Getting the Forza is 100% its just the model that might change.

Get what YOU want, my mate does long trips on his 350 Forza and likes it a lot, the comments of the Moto GP experts from  ThaiVisa International Track Stars............. ( TITS) are an attempt at humour maybe , it's your choice.

These are mangy creatures, leading desperate lives. Show some nerve and compassion and take them out of the misery.

I know a few Farangs who fit that description.

I'm not sure Clicks are comfortable for long journeys, i get arseache  on my 125 Click after about 40km where as i can cycle on my road bike for 100km on a tiny seat and it feels better. Let us know how comfortable the 160 is

Can buy a motorcycle cushion/pad on Lazada.

Although it was new is it possible this farang had it 'race tuned' (or whatever the expression is nowadays?) Seems unlikely that an extra 35cc would make such a difference in performance.

Maybe he had some mods, yes possibly.

I have a 125 Click and took off from traffic lights as I usually do, flat out trying to get away from the madness behind me, when some  Farang on a new Honda Click 160 came flying past me leaving me for dead.

I was told they are or were difficult to get, any first hand reports on the Click 160, anybody got one ?

The Click 160 looks like a bargain at about 72,000-75,000 for ABS model, disc brakes back and front, any thoughts ?

Seems like its just me (out of the responders so far)...   strange how experiences can vary so much... 

 

Could it be a Bangkok thing where insurance doesn’t bother to take the photo ?

Its certainly not restricted to company as I’ve switched and changed insurance with various cars. 

 

 

Possibly, mine is in Pattaya, I changed Insurance companies and the new company sent someone round to the Condo to take a few photos.

Not an expensive car, 2006 Fortuner.

Good idea considering how many DUI arrests are made in the Land of the free.

I used to rent a room to a guy that had THREE drink driving convictions, after I booted hi out for being an alcoholic, he got a FOURTH.

 

These people do not learn.

 

 

What country was he from ?

All the venom aimed at his guy,  probably because he's only 19.

Just like a lot of you were 50-60 years ago.

That is only partly true.

In Thailand is little to no enforcement of many (traffic) rules. When people drive bad in other countries they often have to pay a lot of money. They don't want to pay a lot of money so they learn and drive more according to the rules.

In Thailand people break the rules. And they learn there are no consequences. And then they break the rules more often etc.

So maybe he was breaking some basic rules after living here for 9 months, in Pattaya some of the old Farang fools I see on motorcycles are certainly not riding responsibly.

No such photo exists. If it does, upload it. Nor could it have been in the least “typical.” So, you made that up as a dishonest beginning to this little bash.

 

No same photo exists. You made that up too. 

 

Even if it did, it doesn’t support any point about Thais generally.

 

Really just a troll post that should be removed except for its great appeal to our bigots, bolstering their most cherished "Thais are stupid" narrative. And of course our countless ace TVF Driving Schoolmarms always love to point the finger.

 

Better just get over your provincialism and gain self-confidence so that you don’t need to feel superior by pointing fingers at Thais and making absurd blanket generalities.

 

That said, our TVF Driving Schoolmarms have indeed sometimes noticed Thais driving on the wrong side. These are very poor, uneducated Thais who are nonetheless conscious of the danger and stay well over to the side. The purpose is often to avoid a long out-of-the-way detour to the next U-turn. Those U-turns tend to dangerous as well.

 

And Thais understand and accept the convenience. It’s a cultural thing. No one ever gets stopped or ticketed. There's no righteous outrage when encountering an instance. In fact I don't recall hearing of any accidents owing to that specific practice, have you? Some drunk or speedster on the wrong side of the road is a different case. 

 

Yeah, no one thinks anything of it EXCEPT arrogant bigots on TVF. 

 

I do personally know educated Thais who’ll sometimes do the same. In fact, I do it myself sometimes. Suck it up, pal.

 

Typically it’s for a short distance and beats getting out in traffic, fighting to the next U-turn, and fighting on the way back. You wanna feel all Dudley Do-Right about never doing it yourself, go right ahead. But worry about yourself, rather than what some poor Thai family is doing, usually in a rural area. Maybe you start on India.

 

Far as helmets, there are in fact a lot farang opponents to helmet laws and don’t wear them. Evidently you’re unaware, so Google must be your friend.
 

I see often quite a few helmetless farang riding around on the outskirts of Pattaya. Sometimes I cringe to picture that old bald noggin hitting the street. Mostly on the outskirts--but it’s entertaining to sit at a bar near the Soi 9 for a couple hours and watch the police pull over helmetless farang. SHOCK. Been doing that since forever. In this case, the farang merely think they're somehow privileged in Thailand. Gon' be hard fall to learn the truth.

 

Will Farangs Learn?

 

Moreover these poor people can only afford some cheap plastic helmet anyway. Our Helmet Experts have always known it’s no protection. Thais know it. Why don’t you buy them Shoei or AGV? Oh—now it’s not your business.

 

And you could better spend your time trying to help the vastly overweight farangs in wifebeaters who’ve been disgusting Thais for the last 30 years or walking around shirtless in business areas, sometimes with an open bottle.

 

 

Maybe grabbing the butt of some bargirl they've rented. Will Farang Learn? So far no. No wonder The Authorities have tightened up visa and extension rules. They need to do more. Then will they learn? 

 

Will YOU learn to observe and focus on all the negative farang behavior and try to change THAT rather than trying to feel superior by pointing the finger at uneducated, very poor people of a different race and culture and suggesting therefore any person of that nationality can't learn. 
 

Great Post BigStar, of course most of the TVF bigots will slaughter you for it, these arrogant Farangs pi.ss me off too, non stop whining,  ridiculing Thai's and Thailand, I thought the excessive Thai bashing was against forum rules.

I think most of the TVF Thai bashers have very limited real experience in Thailand, maybe a 2 week holiday a few years ago.

Arrogant Farangs having another bash at poorer people. you are not in Switzerland, you're in a South East Asian developing nation ( well a few of you are ).
