Maybe the previous two posters have already taken a few hits to their heads.

If they have, it's been their choice to wear or not wear a helmet. If they've paid the price, let's hope they learned from it,

Unfortunately, no matter how often some people stumble over 'smart,' they seem to just pick themselves up again as if nothing has happened, ignore it, and go on being stupid.

No need to insult people. You think it is stupid, does not mean everyone else does. Live your life. Let me live mine. And yes, I wear a helmet. Blew a tire, Ides of March 1972, rode off a 40 foot cliff. broke left leg in 3 places, split the fibreglass 3/4 helmet from brow to neck roll. Crawled away.

^^^ That is the whole idea. If someone is not going to control these animals then do not moan and scream when someone else steps in and does it. For you and all the other people who walk on these Sois. Are you out there giving rabies shots. mange treatment, feeding them ? I would guess all the moaners on here have never did it. Maybe have a 2kg fuzzy ball of whatever at home who they call a dog - you know, the Yap-Yap-Yap kind whenever anyone walks by the gate. This country needs a cull - guys in pickups going up and down the Sois with non lethal means of getting a muzzle and a leash on them. Off to the nearest pound. Then all the do gooders can come down and adopt 47 dogs and give them a good home. Like that will ever happen. No adoption - Sayonara

How about this one ? TZ750

Same Duck CNX. Million baht Multistrada broke down in Laos, had to truck it to the border, cross and find a Thai pickup, truck it to the dealer. Sensor gone. Took over a month to get - it was the size of a matchbox. Unbelievable. Not the bike for this country, too bad too as I would buy one.

RHD - good if your are riding a horse in the 1600's and need to draw a sword. Metric system - used by every country in the world except ... USA, Liberia and Myanmar. Such august company they are keeping.

When I drive around Pattaya in my car I only get around 275kms on a tank of petrol, mainly due to constant queues and sitting stationery at traffic lights. On normal roads around Sattahip/Ban Chang I get up 4-500kms on a tank. I would I love an idling stop feature in that car!

Here is the original quote - notice the part which says "in my car"

Absolutely no public interest

Begs the question why BBC Newsnight made such a big deal out of it! Now that would be interesting

I think the potential public interest angle is whether the press sat on the story for an extended period in order to pressurise him into being lenient on them as part of his remit as Culture Secretary, and, more importantly, whether he caved in to that pressure - and the abysmal response to the Levenson inquiry certainly suggests that the press won that battle.

Press sat on it because the owners of the papers and Big Business, Big Banks, Big Pharma ... are all in the same club. Get together over drinks at the Club, decide what spin to put on what story, how much to tell the public - even if they should tell them the truth, which rarely happens. Spin it so we can make some money and lets Go to Press.

I see the changes in the USA also. But a big hurdle to overcome. President Coolidge said " “the chief business of the American people is business.” this goes for law enforcement. No one is going to give up the blackhawk helicopters, night vision, arms, and the truly huge budget without being dragged kicking and screaming. It will take the will of the American people, and I do not see it happening on a Federal level. State by state - yes. Sad really, all those people locked up in jail for mandatory life, families wrecked, when drug use is a Social Welfare and Health issue, not a Law enforcement one.

I think most posters get into trouble with the Powers that Be when they do not keep it polite. An example - #1 - you are an Idiot ! #2 - I disagree. both say the same thing, get the same point across. One can stay - one can go. Ridicule is the first and last argument of a fool. Charles Simmons.

Along with all the Racist, Sexist posts - especially in the news topics, which I do not read.

..poor pig or whatever sacrificial animal it is!

Said she took the pigs head. Ate the Rest I am sure. Why that particular pig - as you said poor pig ?

All going to end up in the same place, used for the same things.

i challenge you to turn off the bike at every light to see the difference. I think you will find it is minimal if even noticeable.

Stuck in Traffic. No engine running = no Aircon. Good luck with that

Unbelievable. Dogs threaten your family, you take care of business, and this is wrong. When I was a kid, had two paper routes. I am like 10 or 11 years old. My Father filled up a water pistol with bleach, said if you are being attacked, one good squirt in the face will end it quickly. What is so hard to understand - it is a dog, the cops family are human. Oh NO, poor little Fluffy, or Muggy, or some such other name is being bad. What are you going to do - wave your finger at him and say 'Bad Dog ? ' He is attacking you. All bets are off at this point.

Found all 10 Episodes of Bla Ogon - Blue Eyes - but no English subs. Anyone have a link ? Thanks

This discussion is not about other vehicles but about motorbikes so it is pointless in you bringing those up.

Topic title - Nabbed for loud exhaust

Posted in the Motorcycle forum, but noise is noise. So my point is valid. And how many HD in LOS ? Compared to how many other brands. So your position that it is all HD's holds no water. And your assertion that they are nasty, law breaking, selfish and disturbing individuals is the exact same thing as any blanket statement against any group, religion, race, gender. Male cow Patoey. And the illegal noise limit thing - have you purchased a decibel noise meter and tested that lone HD you are so offended by ? Or the countlesss Honda Waves, Ducatis, etc etc with this meter ? Or just a guess that it is over 95db ?

Who really cares. I sell myself every time I go to work. Only difference is nothing is inserted - and I do not insert anything. Nothing wrong with what the lady does - her choice. When Coercion, Blackmail, Threat of Violence is used - different story. But seems she is the violent one. Let people dress up in a chicken suit if they want - just don' t do it in my yard. Your place, behind closed doors, no sweat. Live and Let Live.

I live here and know at least one noisy HD.

How many bikes in Thailand ? How many are noisy ? Not even counting the cars, speaker trucks, pickups, people on internet Forums, airplanes ... I could go on. And you know one noisy HD ? Might be a help to you to go back, read what you have posted, and have a good long think of where this post is coming from. And I - if I may - am of the opinion that it is not about bikes per se, but about a brand of bike, and the people who ride them.

It is one thing to shoot an animal attacking you or others and a completely different one when deciding to shoot dogs two days after an alleged incident.

Twice you have posted this - a read of the OP will show that it is not true

" Two days afterward, he added that his wife was again threatened by some of the dogs. "

As said above, and in the many threads preceeding yours, Thai Customs will give you the valuation when the car enters the country. No one is going to provide you a cost before - unless you know some people very high up. A search of this Forum will find many threads which asked the same question, with the same answers, you are asking now. When all is said and done ... if you can afford the Customs charges, save some money and buy it here. It will cost less. If it were possible, Thai citizens would be doing it. and they are not. Ask yourself why.

Been cold this year in the CNX area. Had a week or more where temps were 7C at 0530. Never seen it before. Freezing higher up. And not that much higher either.

Garden hose - cats do not like to be wet.

Last weekend, between Fang and Thaton, DLT had an inspection crew working. Bunch of commercial trucks pulled off the side of the road. Guys in coveralls underneath them, men and women checking paperwork. Few pulled off the road - for defects I presume. Drivers not visible. Windows rolled up. First time I have ever seen this. Progress is being made.

Just a guess on my part - but might be blind, or so close to it that his license should be taken away. If his bumper hit the Vios windows, then the roof might well be close to the top of his hood when close. Bang ... What was that. Back up ... Bang. Altho' the chances of that happening are low to nil, and even if it did, the chances of him stopping driving are about the same.

Or this ... ?

For those who have never seens a trials rider ... So you think you can ride a bike eh ... Can you do this ?
