If you bought a Regina chain you wouldn't have to lube just give it a wash and wipe now again.????

That's my experience after a bit over 8k km without lubrication.

Regina recommends to lube the chain after rain and steam cleaning. I did not and it's still very good.

I'll buy Reginas for my other bikes too.

Do you know if they are available in Thailand? If not, I'll take one from Germany for may Thai CBX500

That's what I thought about. And I asked them. They told me the existing sprockets are fine.

I am pretty sure my chain is not fine because I didn't lubricate it as often as I should... 

If you are - like me - tired of lubricating the chain after each tour, buy a Regina chain.

I installed one on a Versys1000SE last year and am driving now since +8k km without doing anything than to tighthen it from time to time.

The Regina surely is not maintenance-free as sometimes said, but after 8k km through dust, rain and  steam cleaning it looks still very good.

go-fund-her ????

We haven't competed with Germany since their recovery after the war but I wonder what happened in 2020??? 

That was not my point. I listed the German data to show that the declining car production in GB has not necessarily to do with Brexit.

If a full criminal record check was required or introduced then it's something you would need to get yourself from your home countries police force

Correct.

So the quetsion should be if they require such a (then translated) check. People who applied recently for an EV should know that.

Let's have a look at the car production.

I doubt that car production says anything about Brexit.

Compareable with Germany:

2014: 5.6 mio

2016: 5.75 mio

2018: 5.12 mio

2020: 3.51 mio

2021: 3.10 mio

2022: 3.40 mio.

Maybe. But the people have spoken last time too and you know what the outcome was.

If MF is not banned and able to form a government, it might be easy to bring some thousands yellow shirts to Bangkok, cause a couple of weeks of trouble and then let the generals "bring back peace to the country".

Don't forget Thailands holds the world record for military coups.

I hope they really ride into the sunset instead riding to the next barack to come back with a few tanks.

NO SMOKE

...but everywhere easily to get and to consume it is not a  crime anymore since 20 years or so.

Portugal surely is one of the best places for expats. Nice people, decent prices, rich culture, beautiful nature, good food, a short flight to everywhere in Europe. And very easy to get a permission to stay - at least, if you are an EU citizen.

Together with Southern France and the Toskana my favorite place to go, if I leave Thailand.

Not all Trump supporters are racist but all racists are Trump supporters. 

Racist Trump supporters like Nury Martinez, Ron Herrera, Kevin de Leon and Gil Cedillo? OK, I see.

That’s easily explained. Some billionaires have a conscience. 

Maybe, But it has nothing to do with the post I replied to.

Trump appeals to billionaires and easily led fools. Check your bank account to see which one you are.

Really?

According to Forbes Magazine, in the campaign of 2020 there were 150 billionaires under the big spenders for Biden and 108 for Trump.

Must be fake news then, I guess...

And I saw peaceful yellow-shirts.

That obviously doesn't mean that one group was always aggressive and the other always peaceful. But that was what I personally observed.

You mean those peaceful yellow-shirts, that blocked the government district and the airports for weeks under their peaceful leader Sondhi Limthongkul, the convicted criminal?

And other people think that if he doesn't want to be treated inhumanly, then he shouldn't get himself put in jail 

Maybe they have never heared that there are human rights, at least in some countries outside saudi arabia and iran.

My sincere condolences to them.
