Anybody here have a new Honda ADV 350?
Why change the muffler unless you want noise? Just because a muffler is loud doesn’t mean your bike is going faster, it’s just loud. Stock mufflers are precisely engineered for back pressure, torque, useable powerband and overall performance. An aftermarket muffler will sacrifice one thing or another. Not really sure that the Honda belt drive ADV is built for racing. Though if you’re looking for something with more flexibility ADV type, then consider getting a BMW G310GS, Honda 500x or Kawasaki Versys, all good bikes, unless of course you’re only interested in automatic. Consider spending a week or two renting various bikes and make your best personal preference decision based on your personal experience is probably your best personal advice.

Is this the road that ties in from the south at Ban Pa Lan to Ban Pang Makluai to the north?

Might have something to do with the caliper or barring? Should be simple enough for most mechanics

License shortcut
OP-Just go to a driving school and at least get educated, there’s enough halfwhit digbats on the roads as it is, don’t need another one. Short-cutting proper procedures is asking for trouble.

Yes, though I’d have to say, Archie Bunker and George Jefferson were my favorite characters

Wear headphones, take a Valium and don’t bother the dogs. Or wait it out.

Driver's License Procedures Chiang Mai - 2020
It might because they have me on record since it’s has been the only place I’ve gone, but it was so quick the last couple times that I don’t think they took the time to look at my record. I’m an old geezer too btw.

Passport run out of pages but due for visa extension 30/12
I’ve done this in the past. If I recall correctly, I got a letter from the US consulate in cm stating I lost my passport when I got the emergency replacement. The IO in cm put new stamps in the temporary passport. The process was a piece of cake after acquiring the passport.

Why not “lose” your passport then file a police report, and get an emergency/temporary replacement from the embassy. Be sure to have photos and photo copies of the necessary pages. Then process an application for a new passport here.

Call the cops and stand there in the store until the cops come to view the surveillance video. But now not too late, just call the cops.

One of my favorite rides: west on the 1130 from Mae Chan to Ban I-Ko Sam Yaek, then north to Ban Therd Thai, heading west just past 7/11 and west/left up to the top at Eleven Camp…

Eye infection
I’m not a doctor so I can’t give medical advice, but I can give preventative advice. Wash your hands after reliving yourself and don’t touch your face after being out in public areas until you have washed your hands.

I would assume the IO was frustrated dealing with knee jerking Chinese and lost it.
