1/2 day job usually. Even the new style which are glued in with urethane - just cut them out. trim old sealant, reseal new glass, wait for cure. UV light used by some shops to speed up the process. Google windshield replacement Bangkok and see.

Been a biker my whole life. Live to ride. Got married here after 12 years. All I want is here. All I don't want is there. Family great, roads great, food great. But Life is all about attitude - be a glass half full or a glass half empty person. Up 2 U. And I am 18 - now and forever.

You would not happen to have an original copy of the 10 commandments would you ?  They were purported to be set in stone also

That real wheel looks very small. Very strange.

15 inch. Should make for a limited selection of tires. One more 'feature' of this bike. Sheeple Surprise

So this is what the Army is for????

The Army is for Old Rich men to have some Poor Young men to be sent to some other country to die so those same Old Rich men get even richer.  _usa a good example

# Wot, and a trad HD Skirtster has more?

Gee - I thought we were talking about the Trumpet

3 inches of suspension travel. Poser for sure.

So three days is now two days ....

Just maybe ... drop off car Saturday. Do the service, check the AC. Work Sunday ? If not, get parts Monday. repair and return Tuesday. No need to immediately P and M about poor service. Only person who knows is the OP, and this info was not supplied.

Thanks for your help.

Instead of cutting it down ...

When I came here first time 15 years ago, got a resort for a week. Never been, knew no one. Rented a bike next day, found an apartment to rent by the month, with pool. Learned my way around, met some people, who introduced me to others. Learned - go here, don't go there. Buy this here, not there. Had a 'friend' write down the Thai characters for "For Sale" and "For Rent" Found a house to rent. Go slowly, take your time. Ask all the questions you want from N. America but as soon as you get here a lot of that will go out the window. Priorities change, as you will. Meet a girl ... you may be moving to Nakhon Nowhere !

Just to clarify...you Aren't talking about travel insurance? I know that travel insurance can cover you for medical but if you live in Thailand all year then that doesn't work

OP coming for 6 months - hence my heads-up re: travel insurance

BKK terminal map shows departures on 4-th floor. Or is that just the walkway ?  I remember that you need to go down some stairs to the actual departure lounges. Is this what you mean ? Never used Bangkok Flight Services before so unsure. Thanks

Int'l departures on 4-th floor. Lounges on 3-rd floor. Can I clear Immigration and then go down one floor to lounge, chill, go back up to departure gate without having to clear Immigration again ?

BKK website gives no info

Thanks

Does motorcycle insurance include cover for accident medical care? I assume not and separate medical cover is needed?

All my cars and bikes insurance covers for injury caused by an accident. Now if you get dengue, have a heart attack, stroke, etc. then you need separate medical insurance coverage. Where I come from, the majority of your time must be spent in country of residence for travel medical insurance to be valid. 365 days in a year, 183 must be spent there. They bill your home province and pay the difference. And it covers motorcycle riding for travel or entertainment. Not for racing.

Read a book written by a survivor of the soccer team which crashed up in the Andes. When all way said and done ... meat is meat

Ladies of the Night - Bar Fine 500 baht. Services rendered - 1500 baht to ... the sky's the limit

Just exploring the countryside on my CRF I burn 200 baht a day in fuel alone. You are asking questions others have no way of providing answers to. Lunch - can be 30 baht food cart on the side of the road or 2000 baht Le Meridian buffet. Swimming at hotel pool 50 baht a day. Go every day and that is 1500 right there. Go for a drive - car, bike, what ?  Own or rent ? Costs all different. Myself, my wife, MIL costs us 20 K per month just in necessities. My bikes, cars, travel, insurance, ... additional

I have found - do a budget projection. Then Double it. Then add 50% more. This will be close to real costs.

And I see no mention of health insurance, or accident insurance.

Why do you need a maid ? With only 5000 Baht to spend on Fun, this leaves you with lots of time to clean.
