  1. ...But maybe the Americans are serious about having a nuclear-free Middle East and they'll decide to launch pre-emptive attacks on its only nuclear state (and, to make matters worse, one with an astonishing history of naked aggression and violation of UN resolutions.)

    There is little chance that America will destroy the nuclear reactor in Iran despite the way that the Islamic dictatorship ignore the UN, threaten other countries and subjugate their own people. ;)

    Good effort but having an as yet non-functioning nuclear power plant (thanks in part to the yanks, who were remarkably keen on a nuclear Iran until the Iranians had the good sense to kick out their imperial overlords) doesn't make them a nuclear state. But having several hundred nuclear warheads does - and that's exactly what the zionist entity has.

    Ok, so the you consider the UN inspectors to be  imperial overlords. That's nice.

    The Iranians had made several agreements and promises. They broke all of them. The fact of the matter is that no one would object if the Iranians were not threatening to launch nukes against multiple countries.  If you were a Gulf oil state and the welfare of your citizens was constantly threatened and the major route to sell your oil could be cut off any day by a despot, you might be worried too. If you are a resident of the UK or a country along the missile trajectory from Iran, you might be concerned. After all, Iran has said it would launch its nukes. Has Israel threatened have the heavens rain down the "fire of death" on any country in the EU?

    Iran doesn't have nukes and denies trying to make them,

    So how could they say they will launch their nukes when they deny having or wanting to have that capability.

    Interesting how people make up stuff ;)

  2. I don't know if changing the bulbs will affect the warranty, but the Mitsu dealer in Chaeng Wattana told me not to touch the lights as that would void the warranty. I don't know if he meant changing to LED lights or just the bulb. You might want to check with your dealer.

    Heh, my Mitsu dealer asked me whether I could hook them up with my Xenon vendor because they wanted to sell it as a dealer fitted accessory ;)

    Does that apply to LED lights as well or just Xenon?

  3. The question then is, who to cheer for when one wildly unpleasant theocracy takes on another?

    The dictatorship or the democracy? Not a difficult decision. :whistling:

    The last time Iran tried for Democracy and elected a democratic leader was 1953(Dr. Mossadegh). 

    And the US immediately staged a coup to return the Shah to his throne. ;)

    If the US champions Democracy, they should start with their allies in the region who are thoroughly undemocratic like Egypt,Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the list goes on and on :lol:

  5. If you want to check out another high end bike store besides ProBike, check out the Cannondale shop.  Here's the address:

    Thaicannasia/Star bikes

    73/1 Sukhumvit Soi 3

    North Nana, Klong Toey

    Bangkok Thailand 10110

    Fax: 662-253-3464

    I've always been impressed by this place, but Cannondale's have always had some weirdness (like funky headsets) that turned me off to them.   Their current models might be better.  The shop is definitely one to check out.

    The Thaicannasia shop moved from that location over 2 years ago. It's off Rama IV behind the Carrefour. I think it's like Sukhumvit soi 26 or something like that. Google it.

  6. The dealer took my original 17 inch rims and tires and gave me 20000 baht credit.

    The new wheels and tires came out to 52000 baht. So I payed 32000 baht  cash.

    Sounds good. How does she ride now?

    The ride is not very different. It's definitely a stiffer tire and you have more road feel. Traction is also better, but I just put them on, so it will take a bit of time to evaluate them properly.

    If your mileage is anything like mine, you'll like the Nittos for the first few hundred to few thousand KM, but after that they will get on your nerves.. Then you'll replace them with something truly nice and will be amazed at the difference :)

    Why were they getting on your nerves?

    Was it the ride or something else like noise or handling?

    Not bad

    is the S in the Nitto tyres speed rating? If so thats only 180kmh at 25C, or 160kmh safe speed in LOS heat

    I think they are V rated according to this site. But I never drive faster than 140KMH.

    The V rating claims a maximum speed of 149MPH.

    V rating and 420 treadwear sounds excellent. great value for money

    I was offered a choice of Yokohama Avid or the Nitto's. The Yokohama costs 30 percent more, and the dealer told me the Nittos are just as good and will last longer.

    Only time will tell.

    I see. Any noticeable difference in level of tyre noise?

    The noise level was somewhat less than the Bridgestone Duellers.
