Rear discs - on common passenger vehicles - from a stopping power perspective - waste of time. Drums brakes more than adequate. All about weight transfer. Read all about it ...

Discs do look nicer tho' - for all the Yo's in the audience

Get a 2 litre gas can. Fill up bike. Ride until empty. Empty gas can, drive to nearest station and fillup. Note km ridden. Viola - answer.

Mine has 6 piston PM brakes - twin up front, single read. Andrews cams, Port and Polish, adjustable forks and shocks from a Sport. Stock head pipes with the balance tube to enhance midrange, but slip-on mufflers. Sets of car alarms no problem. Passed a guy on a CB400 on the MHS loop once - in a corner - bet he still cleaning his shorts ! Had an FXRS-SP back in the day. My first Dyna-like bike.

Funny with all the HD hate guys here,

From guys who have never sat on one, let alone rode or owned one. My Dyna is made for the open road. Want to go to Singapore ? Made to eat up the miles in comfort. Rode it on the MHS loop many times, but you got to work at it. Cruise the Super Slab - that where it likes it. Premium ? The best tool for the job. And nuthin' sounds like a HD

"at B is not Better"

What does this mean?  Has it been amended or is something missing as this is all the first post says on my display.

Do you live in CNX ? Well known place.

 My experience of Thailand, this is the land where no one does anything for nothing, there is usually a method behind it.

Thankfully, I live in a different Thailand.

Simple minds, simple thoughts, about themselves, and the little world they live in. How about the man that sends thousands of troops across the globe to kill others.

 Kim Jong-un
 
To put Trump above this guy shows how pathetic and ignorant people can be when a President in a Democracy was elected.

If good quality beef, I like blue rare. But you need a hot grill and a cook who knows how. Still looking for all of the above in Asia

ALERT !!!   TV turning into Facebook !!!   Pictures coming soon !!!

Politics the world over will not change until the way leaders are chosen is changed. Special interest groups pay Boo Koo bucks to get their fav elected, and then the hands come out for payback. When the people are dumbed down besides, kept like mushrooms, and lied to 'For Their Own Good' it is no surprise that the leaders who do get elected are like this. Taking USA as an example - a racist crook, a B movie actor, father and son tag team weasels, and now ...  A good start - Ban lobbying, term limits, accountability - break the law, go to jail

All the pre-2009 kept going until they hit a tree or ran out of fuel. Because they do not stop using the factory brakes. How did that one slip by ? 555

Interested to hear what people think are "Premium Brands"  And why you think so. Quality of product ? Performance ? Cachet ? Or do you have your own meaning ?

sure, we are dying right now. air is so polluted and disaster.

Are you in CNX ?  If you are, and find it so life threatening, why ?

If that is the Carryboy dealer. with a very tall sign with the 2 chevrons on it, be aware that his prices are outrageous. Asked him if he had the tape to seal canopies onto pickup truck boxes, he said sure. Would install for 3000 baht !! And I buy the tape 555

When you start a FI bike, good habit to get into is turn key to on and wait for the fuel pump to cycle off. This makes sure that fuel pressure is up to spec and it should turn over once and start. If it needs 4 or 5 revolutions to get going, something is amiss.

1 2 Car lists 2013 as starting at 275K. So 46K to get it up and running not too bad. Fix it, flog it, case closed. Buy something else.

The Original

Can't believe it has been 40 years ...

When I lived in Udon Thani was seeing a girl there. Off and on. She was gorgeous - and full if it!  Got Curious, so put a tracking app on the fone she uses with 'Friends' He-He. She went home, I drove by the house late at nite ... Nice place. New Jazz in the driveway. She always asked for $$$ for taxi home. 555 Did not care one way or the other, but my curiosity got the better of me.

When will she pay - you will not live long enough to see it !

I have a list of taxi drivers. All speak English. Do not use them much, but friends coming for a visit use them many times.

Commercial vehicles must have insurance to cover 'For Hire' passengers.

Let me know about one case, involving an Uber driver, where the passenger was injured and all costs were covered by the insurance, and I will post a retraction.

Until then, use who you want, where you want, when you want.

Been driving - and riding - here over 15 years. It is not bad, you just have to learn how. Some people find this more difficult than others.

Thread about Uber - as was my response. Want a metered taxi thread - start one.
