Which model of the AEW pipes did you get? I've just been watching a video where they compared the TE 101, TE 102 and TE 201. The TE 201 gave the most clearance of the 3 if your looking to fit bags but its a chrome finish so I'm thinking you must have got one of the other models.

I went with what the dealer had in stock and don't see any markings other than AEW on pipes. These cost 14 K baht, they had some AEW's  that were 10 K baht and some for 6 K baht but they were both chrome finish which I really didn't want because I figure it's cheap and will rust easier. These pipes don't get so hot that you can't touch them even after a hard ride. 

Clearance for bags wasn't one of my concerns, I'm thinking maybe to have some custom sewn to fit to go under seat and that way they can't be stolen.

As I recall choke holds are immediately released when submission is indicated. not a choke hold held until unconscious.

Gotta tap out, or they will pass out as has happened.

Mixed Martial Arts used in UFC Ultimate Fighting, chokeholds are a part of submission.

However, is the Chokehold allowed in WWF wrestling or All In martial arts?

You ever watch UFC??

The next step to enforce is cops shall only shoot legs or arms. If you shoot center mass you will be prosecuted. I say we hire cops with minimum wage, arm them with a whistle and a flashlight and tell them to fight crime.

I only have the minimum government insurance that came from the dealer. I have my own security and this is my personal choice.

 

On another note I did the valve adjustments yesterday on the interceptor with my 11 year old son. First we gathered up the tools for a few days and found the valve adjustment not too difficult or time consuming. We followed some videos online and had the job done in under 1 1/2 hours. the best part is my son really like to learn about the engine and maintenance. I ride every day and am very happy with my bikes.  I was wondering what other owners experience is with their Royal Enfields.

I haven't ridden it too much but did get over the 2000 KM and am not holding back on the speeds any longer.

110-120 KPH is good for me especially if you hit a little wind. One thing it needs are some saddle bags for routine purchases. The ones at dealership are pretty small and still cost 3000 bht. I put on some AEW pipes from dealer. Like a brushed SS finish, nice little roar. I didn't notice the stock pipes but these pipes don't get deadly hot which is good for passenger as pegs sit directly over top.

Sure Trump rallies will attract more fans than biden's, and they'll be frenzy affairs as well 

 

But pointing to Biden is a distraction from the major disappointment this was.

I'll take humor any where I can find it. And that photo of biden is hilarious. He looks like a HS principal at an assembly in the gym and all the kids ditched. ahahaaaa

The Tulsa Fire Marshall estimated that there were about 6200 attendees at the Tulsa rally. Here's what the Fox News Anchor at the rally said:

'As cameras scanned hectares of empty seats, the Fox News anchor, an emphatically incurious man named Jesse Watters, told his viewers, “It looks packed!”'

I also assumed that the dealer does what the manual recommends but don't be surprise if your 500kilo service was priced for the oil change and filter. I know my valves were not checked or adjusted on that service as the manual recommend. It seems that some of the services that I would expect from a dealer have to be specifically asked for on both the Himalayan and the intercepter. It's not like the valve adjustment and labor is very expensive the just don't do it unless asked at the dealer in Samut Sakhon.

In the future I will be doing all the service my self and maybe bringing the bike in once a year for full service to keep warranty valid. My experience and opinion of the Interceptor could not be higher. The bike is incredible and at the price nothing else compares.

Did you buy Insurance the dealer offered and how much? Mine was like 13,000bht.

The problem is my Thai License expired a very long time ago, 2552. I am going to take Richard Smith's advice and prepare the documents and just show my US license.

 

I went to the information booth at the DLT and showed my Thai license. When they saw that, they told me I had to start over. They were not interested in my foreign license after seeing the Thai license. This time I will go back and only show  my valid US license.

Also, I will make sure I ask for a 2 year temporary license.

 

Thanks for the help

 

 

 

 

I'd be more concerned with the written test than the actual driving test. RSmith talked about a National Drivers License. Not sure what that is.

Continuing a theme.  His inauguration numbers beat Obama's, apparently.   Would not be surprised if, before next weekend, he teweets that Tulsa was a HUGE success.  Thousands inside, thousands outside.  blah, blah, lie, obfuscate, deflect.  

 

Still, two bits of good news this weekend...Bolton's book will be published, and he may not get any of the profits.  5555

Are you telling me that Trumps numbers were low and Biden would have had a bigger audience. Please lets not mention barry's name anymore, keep me updated on sleepy joe's rally numbers. 

Kum Bah Yah America...

It might have been but for the expectations of up to 90000 - and your own crowing about many more being expected, and  packing them in.  But changing the narrative mot restricted to your idol, it seems.

Trumps numbers will always beat creepy joe. Report back with more updates.

Biden Raised More Than Trump in May, His First Month Leading the Money Race

November 3 rd is the only true turnout

This whole thing started with reporting what was going on live on CNN, but you guys take all this personal, very funny.

32 minutes ago, Phulublub said:

So, now the event is over, and we see that about 12000 actually turned up, would you care to comment further?

 

PH

About 12,000 folks showing up, sounds like a nice turnout. Are you thinking Biden will have greater numbers?? Good luck with that.

Price 139,900 baht ???? Down payment 20,900 baht ???? Installment 2,706 × 60 months

I like it!

I was at the Royal Enfield dealership picking up my new plate, anyway they also sell Benelli's and the had this new one pictured. Looks nice, could be a fun bike. It's a RE Classic 48 knock off. 

Along with US DL you need an International Drivers License to avoid the driving part.
