Honda Wave, Yamaha Finn, gearbox and riding
driver52 replied to driver52's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
hey check out this beauty, 19.7hp that is, @Kwasaki looks like a good tourer eh? I've seen a 2 year old one for just over 500 quid!! Tour on! ???? https://www.sym.mforce.my/product/VF3i185Pro/ -
still significantly cheaper than 5-20 years ago.....the reason inflation has gone crazy recently is they used convid as an excuse to print trillions, just look at the central bank balance sheets and those of the rich ????

nobody on here is young enough to get a return on that sort of investment the price is OIL is 'crashing', what does that tell us? a recession is coming........solar panels are dirt cheap now and they'll probably get cheaper in a recession...along with the other hardware....dunno where you get 750k from but isn't a 335w panel like less than 4k baht now.....the inverters are pretty cheap too

i've had a better idea, think I'm off to Malaysia, buy a Honda RS150R and do some cheap touring......petrol is dirt bloody cheap!!! COME ON lol PS oh yeah and 90 days on entry, piece of p!ss to just go over the border and get another 90 days too......much easier than messing with the mofos here ???? -

interesting thanks but I think the Yammy Exciter 155 looks looks like a much better bike and is cheaper too -
yeah but it's got a number plate by the looks of it.......bizarre, maybe it got 'written off' in a flood or something like that?

what do I look for when buying something like this? I'm happy 'having a go' at general maintenance, I suppose what would worry me most is knowing if it's a good engine and if the chassis is 'straight'? cheers https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1466680454064888/

driver52 replied to driver52's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
i'm in Pattaya at the moment but I want to get out and tour Thailand a bit and it's proving a bit hot and sweaty on my pushbike lol what gives with buying something with 'no book' like this thing? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2269715353212063/ looks alright that Finn thing, this geezer is doing 120kmh lol -

sure........any experience of stuff like Cfmoto 200, Benelli Leoncino or other 'small cc' stuff? they look good value second hand...... wonder if I can get a 'test ride' on a Wave 125i to see how it feels? -
what's this weird 'semi-manual' gearbox these things have? It appears they have a 2-way foot shifter but no clutch looking to buy a motorbike, was thinking moped but I think I'd rather have something with 17" wheels for better 'cruising speed'? probably should get a proper bike with a clutch but I haven't rode a bike for donkies years and I'm worried I might have forgotten how to change gears......and yeah more tricky in heavy traffic cheers

Tourist visa after 2 visa exempts
driver52 replied to Sambo5000's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
translation please -
hmmmm I'd be really worried about this one, do you understand the internet and stuff like 2 factor authentication? ie I'm a Brit for my sins lol, I still have a UK bank account and I can log into it using a computer or a mobile but then I need an authentication code sent to a mobile...my point is I can still easily monitor the spending and stop the card if needed, the last thing you want on top of everything else is a massive credit card bill turning up.......good luck

Tourist visa after 2 visa exempts
driver52 replied to Sambo5000's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
yeah not sure what I want to do yet, in terms of staying for good, or not........my flight back to Europe is not until end of November, so I probably need at least 6 months of visa exemptions and/or tourist visa..........have been enjoying riding my bike around Pattaya to be fair I know there are a lot of nutters out there but I'm even looking at long stay rentals and thinking of buying a motorbike too........my days may be numbered, lol -

driver52 replied to Sambo5000's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
