  1. I think the Nice have same engine as Wave/Dream 110cc models?

    Yes 40km/l is a bit too low, it should be the same as Wave.

    Yours is likely a carb model so that might need fine tuning/cleaning and check the air filter.

    Are the wheels rotating freely and are chain/sprockets in good condition (well oiled) and correct tension on chain?

    Smoke from engine? Low performance?

    Thanks Guzz,

    Same as I thought re kpl.

    There's no smoke and the performance is very good; surprising even.

    Will, however, take it to my mechanic and ask him to check the points you've raised.

    Cheers,

  2. Hallo,

    I've just been given one of the above. It's in good condition, has been well-maintained and runs sweetly.

    I am, though, a little concerned about the fuel consumption as it only seems to be returning about 40 kpl.

    I've had a Wave 100 for 12 years and that gives me around 65-70 kpl and I'would have expected near to that from the NIce.

    Can anyone,therefore, please tell me if 40 kpl is the norm for a Nice or what I should do to increase it to what it should be?

    Thanks

  3. Great News. I've taught the CEO of a major property company, and one of his main concerns was the time his staff spent on their make you dumb fones.

    It i also a major problem for university lecturers.

    Hopefully, this will be used as a precedent for work, education, and dare I say it, even socially.

    Let's all learn to speak to friends, in our own time, again.

  4. Phra Kanong. Really Thai, great atmosphere, market and street food, and minutes from the hot spots by BTS.

    And also some of the worst traffic in all of bangkok. At 2am sukhumvit road at phra kahnong bts areas is often still traffic jammed, crazy really.

    So not really far from the hustle and bustle.

    Never really noticed a problem at that time in all the years I've lived there.

  5. The water tasted weirdly salty when this happened last year. Then I read in the newspaper about the sea water getting into the water supply and realized why. I could certainly do without a repeat of that. It's tolerable, but it's pretty unpleasant to drink.

    Normal filters won't get the salt taste out, the filter has to be capable of desalination.

    You drink tap water in Thailand ?

    I run it through a filter (buy them in home pro ect) and then drink it. It would certainly inconvenience me and many people from BKK. I don't see why farmers should be able to take all the water. Just let them use as much water as someone from BKK would use, fair is fair. That is probably not as much as they normally use but I don't see why they should have more rights to natural resources as other people.

    Turning off half of the needless aircon in BKK would provide more than enuf water to produce food.

    Beyond sad, really.

    But for some, I suppose, being cool is more important.

  6. Why not ask the Gov. to ban cars, so all must travel by bus?

    Also ban Amazon Coffee, coz it's better and cheaper than starbux, and motorbike taxis coz they're cheaper and quicker than regular taxis, and street food vendors, coz they are cheaper, and their food tastes better, than the crap u get in shopping malls.

    At the same time, please, ask all Gov. employees to take a cut in salary.

    Not hard to work out why on the reasoning of the OP.

  7. I am sure they are for sale, too.

    Other than that, check out the tailors on lower Sukhumvit.

    The guy's stuff is reasonably priced and well-made, as I'm sure it will be for the ladies.

  8. 2 rental shops for evening gowns, good quality and stylish stuff, near Udom Suk BTS.

    Get off on the right hand side as you face Baring.

    Go up Sukhumvit, past Udom Suk on the left, and the first shop is on the right about 200m from the station,, just past 2 bike shops. The next one is about 300m further up Sukhumvit, just past the 7/11 on the corner of Soi 68.

    Happy hunting.. ,

  9. Tops generally has a good selection of bangers, and you can get bisto onion gravy at tops and villa.Mix in a little worcester sauce with the latter and you've got a great gravy. Get yer spuds wherever, but mash them with only butter. You can also mix in some peas, or mash in some broccolli for a little crunch and extra flvour.

    Will beat anything you can get in any pub in Bangers, pardon the pun.

  10. - Brought forward many sales which makes the manufacturers and sellers' business slump after that.

    - Caused a lot of bad loans to banks and finance companies.

    - Caused the second hand car market to go into a slump.

    Sounds like the path the real estate market is heading towards...lol

    Definitely. With every road becoming a canyon, and developers telling customers that an overpriced small apartment in a large block is a condo m, and charging 3 times the worth of it, where is the cash in a declining economy to buy all this goimg to come from?; plus the fone, tablet, etc.

    A major crash is coming.

    In your dreams; link please.

    No dreams, just facts.Unless you can give me the figures otherwise.

    I will respect your superior knowledge over any respected economist and financial journalist I've evr read.

    Btw, who were the main developers, and who gave the cheap home loans to buy their boxes.

    Look at Myanmar and telecoms and you have your answer.

    Nice ways to screw good, but uneducated people, and make yerself a fortune.

    A major crash is coming.
