    That goes for many mountain passes in the Alps too. The Stelvio Pass in my above picture sometimes doesn’t open till mid-June and may well have to be closed before the end of September. Depends on snowfall. Mid-June of this year I went up the Timmelsjoch Pass on the Austrian - Italian border, and that road opened only  on June 8 of this year. Still large snow walls roadside. 

    The above mentioned road to the Timmelsjoch Pass, near the 2509m top, on June 17 of this year. Took my Thai gf there (by car), hadn’t seen snow before in her life. Very, very impressed and excited...........

    I understand that road is only open about half the year.

    Personally I think the way to go is small volume of high quality machinery .. Brit's bike industry cannot take on China in terms of volume but the vast majority of Chinese kit is not quality .. Norton should stick to what has got them this far in the rebirth and build bikes for niche markets with emphasis on quality and desirability .. Ditto B S A I'm not sure what the position is with who holds the name rights now but I'm in agreement that if it comes back on bikes again they cannot be cheapo Chinese junk like the M G name has been tacked on some god awful bloody contraptions .. 

    I've found this photo of a " new " Lav' from 2 yrs ago but its not detailed enough to get any leads ..

    Isn’t this the Laverda 650 Sport that was manufactured by the original factory up to ‘98?

    Please get it right, the government of the day, plus the main opposition party stated publicly that the result of the referendum would be respected and implemented. Further more article 50 was passed by the whole of parliament to again implement the people’s decision. Then of course we had the 2017 G.E when parties who again gave their support to the people’s decision, gained over 80% of the vote.

     

     My worry is that my children will suffer, if in the future they are colonist of the E.U. Due to our Treacherous M.P’s and their gullible supporters.

     

     

    Perhaps if you would care to look up the meaning of ‘colonist’ you could explain your fears?

    One of the great injustices of this was that only a small number of embassies were penalised in this way, in spite of claims at the time that the new rules would be applied to all. With hindsight it all seems to have more to do with singling out certain countries for punishment. 

     

    Regarding the 45000 baht in the OP, this is currently worth about £1200 in the UK, and many people live on that much or less over there as well. 

    Embassies penalised?? Three embassies decided they wouldn’t issue income letters anymore because they weren’t willing/able to implement any level of checks on the income declared. If any penalisation, the citizen of the countries were the ones suffering.
