  1. Why I always wear a balaclava. Also helps when putting helmet on while wearing glasses.
  2. I live in the Provinces so am not expecting much.
  3. In the Agean onboard the chartered Ermis 2 Expenses do include fuel? Right! (prefer to own it but that was not the question) 2nd choice on the dive boat in around Solomons.
  4. I find the best way is to drive worse than the locals. Works in all countries.
  5. Multiple cylinders require a slightly different approach. Some are 4 into 1 some are two into two into 1. Depends on requirements. I think most high rpm dedicated ports use 4 into1 but I'm no expert. On a single that doesn't matter. Minis had long centre branch because the two middle ports were Siamese. But that may not be appropriate for bikes at higher revs.
  6. My former FIL had a tie like that. He used to wear it to semi formal dinners.
  7. After market exhausts reduce back pressure which is good for high end power but not so good for lower end torque. On the 300 in question the front pipe length is important.
  8. For longer trips at higher speeds I use this type. Bought my last set in Global for about 25 Baht. The cord pulls out. I don't use that as it transfers noise. I buy helmets for ventilation which of course translates to noise.
  9. Not all expats who don't live in Phuket are broke? Just came back from the pub. Sorry.
  10. Two posters were confused by my response. I apologise. I was under the impression the traffic was bad in Los Angeles
  11. Rimping Maya branch at the Rincome/Superhighway intersection on Huay Kaew Road has a Japanese section.
  12. 555 I opted for a 10 year passport for the same reason. Wrong. double the years but same amount of pages.
  13. Scooter runs at 9.5: 1 compression. Truck because it says that in the manual. (or LPG which has octane rating over 100)
  14. The OP has admitted damage to wood. What he thinks is small may not seem that way to the landlady. She wants the money you should have paid if you maintained the original period. As she probably won't be able to let it for a while?
  15. Modern SkyActive engines run very high compression ratios, almost in diesel territory and they sometimes run with compression ignition. Ethanol has an octane rating of 110-ish. If the manual says 95 or higher than that is what you should use.
  16. Unless you count Brazil where they are coming up for their 20 year anniversary.
  17. If it is direct injection the benzine 95 never sees the intake system as it is injected as the intake valves are closing.
  18. "Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog — you learn a lot from it, but they're both dead in the end."
  19. OK Lah. Maybe it was a Singaporean who invented the jacket.
