Korat Kiwi

They make great watch dogs apparently. Anything out of the ordinary and you are sure to hear the cry.... Its loud, very loud. Remember the movie Midnight Express? A drug 'dealer' that got caught at the airport in Turkey. They used peacocks as guard dogs/early warning at the prison. Great movie

Yeah a bit like at the doctors and they want a urine sample but only give you an egg cup. Damn when your bladder is full and you piss like a horse it's useless. Overflow and wet hands...guaranteed.

Sorry you're only allowed grass on Sundays.

Kids these days wouldn't even no what that machine is!

Maybe he's a Flight Stupid/Steward

To be total honest, I've not watched one episode of LOTR. Even tho it's a kiwi icon in NZ. I think I've taken this away from the OP enough for now. On the Russian front of things, I did meet some great pilots and load masters when working in the Middle East (Afghanistan and Iraq). There was a bit of a language barrier but we understood enough to get by. One guy even gave me a damn nice bottle of Russian Vodka as I hopped off his IL76 aircraft in Kandahar. So there are some good ones about.

So true, all I've seen are top loaders. Amorn electronics also sell those boxes. Could be interesting. But surely it's the same principle... Just gotta figure out the wiring and programme the machine to 1 cycle. Good luck!

Come on Felix, don't knock Monty.... they were/are all very educated individuals. Well maybe not the token American! (Terry Gilliam) Just joking. You can never have too much of the Flying Circus. Or any of their movies. Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of life, Live at the Hollywood bowl etc Quite a cult following esp. for Life of Brian. He's a very naughty boy!

I've used those throttle grips a bit when back in NZ. They are good for longer distance riding but with NZs harsh UV they tend to break after a few weeks... maybe 3 top. Cheap enough to replace tho

Frigate/Sub what's the difference? In Thai hands the both end up in the same place. My feeling is that they should purchase what the can afford to lose... A bit like gambling really!

How's it going up Doi Suthep? Many years ago I was taking a CRF250M for a ride up... then I heard the almighty noise behind me. A local on a Ducati monster was doin a time trial and he was moving. I observed him scraping his footpegs on every corner.... I was left in his dust very quickly.

Like the Z650 and your Duke 200 looks very tidy. Nearly bought a Duke for the missus a few years ago. But then we moved back to NZ and I thought the 200 a bit small. Was gonna get her the 390 but she decided that a BMW gs310 would suit her better. Got neither. I went and bought SMC-R 690. Too big for her.... shame shame! Even the BMW C600 scooter that I got for a song was too big for her. Now we're back here the 200 would probably suit her.

I don't think they worry about which country they are from Mike, as long as the dollars or roubles come in big numbers... All is forgiven.

8 yrs overstay equates to 15, 200 baht in extension of stay fees via the immigration office or approx 120,000 baht if via an agent. (Although there are cheaper agents out there) Quite a saving. The guy probably doesn't have 2 cents to rub together so who knows how he will pay any fine and who pays his deportation costs? Must have pissed someone off to get caught, never the less it was a good innings.

Finally Kama strikes.

A bottle of vodka?

And the man discovered later that there was 'more than meets/meats the eye'. Woman... I very much doubt it

Oh, possible mechanical fault... How many times have we heard that one? Or maybe my foot 'slipped' off the brake and onto the accelerator. More like the car was a bit more powerful than the driver expected. Tried to show off but lost control. Clown

So we going to get some Russian boxing coaches visiting soon.... The RTP need some help.

There use to be an ad on NZ TV promoting a deck cleaning agent. It's name and catch phrase was: 'Spray and walk away' Not sure what they could come up with for a slogan of 'Dump and walk away'

Just anuffer bruffer from de gutter.

Oh the twisted tales to be told...

What? Where is the story?

I went online did a bit of research and ended up buying a Sleep Happy Paradise mattress (As used in a lot of top hotels). Wow what a difference. If during the day I get any soreness a quick lie down and all is good. And being a king size mattress, so much room to move. Certainly a move up compared to bog standard Thai fare.

But in this video, he is actually 'attacking' the police. It'll be interesting to see the outcome for one of Putins buddy's. No excuse for the kiwis behaviour tho.
