  1. The Princess Bride Pulp Fiction Armageddon A Christmas Story Top 4 for sure
  2. I would go to BKK Speed (couple locations in Bangkok and try the Shoei there. Personally I was in the US and was checking out the Neotec 3, but it was just too heavy. I ended up with an RF1400. I don't think that is available here, but they have lots of good choices. Not sure if Shark is Snell or ECE rated, but that is an important consideration. You only have onehead.
  3. My wife rides her own PCX around our house, but I made sure to get a single seater big bike. No questions about who is on it.
  4. Depends on the situation: 1. On my Wave in my soi - glasses, no helmet, shorts, flipflops 2. On my Wave running around pattaya - glasses, cheap helmet, shorts, flipflops 3. On my big bike running around pattaya - imported Shoei race helmet, jeans, riding gloves and shoes. 4. On my big bike touring - full riding gear even in the heat of summer. I guess I am lazy, I am not spending 20 minutes getting dressed to go to 7 and get a beer, but an all day ride I couldn't imagine not having all the gear on.
  5. I have been riding bikes, from trail bikes to motocross to street bike to superbikes for 45 years before I got a big bike in Pattaya. My rules are: 1. Ride for the slide. It is gonna happen and I am old now and don't want to hurt more than required. 2. Don't ride at night, that is when the drunks come out (on foot, bike and car). 3. In town, take the Honda Wave, much easier to wiggle around and stop. 4. Drive at speeds similar to traffic, fast lane splitting or shoulder riding is a guaranteed accident. How simple is that??
  6. There is a group monitoring them and keep the spot they hang out under CCTV surveillance. They used to live in the villa but lost their house to gambling. They live in a shack at the end of Soi 12 now, but do "business" at the entrance to our villa.
  7. Well, the issue is they are trying to do it without the family being able to prove it, they are violent. The woman (mother of the kid that taped up the dogs and the woman who admitted to it) got into it with my wife and now we have to worry about the extended family. Luckily we know enough people that they haven't dared to directly attack my wife.
  8. Probably, they stick together. I just saw him yesterday riding down the soi, so he is still out and about.
  9. I know the guy who did it and he and his entire family are all entitled pricks. Who knows what his motives were but he, and other members of his family, do dick moves like this to people as well as animals. They abuse kids, women and animals equally. The neighborhood is trying to run them off. They probably did not assist in the investigation for fear of retribution, but they are well known.
  10. I am old enough to remember when the phone was in the house. I also remember when phones became portable and I used them while driving. I also remember when that became illegal and I stopped it. This century I have not answered a phone call or text while driving. Whoever calls can wait, I want to arrive in one piece. Multitasking is a BS excuse, traffic in Thailand is so erratic you have to pay attention to it 100%!
  11. LOL - I am pretty sure my wife would not approve, but I like your thinking!
  12. I just got a new bike, I bought a bike "tent" for it even though it is in my carport, I just ordered a battery trickle charger and am considering getting a de-humidifier to put in the bike tent to prevent rust. It is pretty and I want it to stay that way.
  13. My friends and family in Aus and NZ have seen housing prices skyrocket into the unattainable as Chinese investors buy up property all over those countries. I don't think this law is trying to target Westerners buying one house for themselves, it is trying to prevent China from taking over and driving Thais to homelessness and poverty.
  14. When I went to renew my non-o for marriage this year at Jomtien, they asked for a TM-30. As my company sends a law clerk to assist, he went over to the desk and got one. It was the first time in 20 years I have had to do that, I think they are increasing the scrutiny now.
