I would ride my bike back to Europe if it wasn't for all the "less developed" and communist countries on the way.

Contrary to popular belief being less-developed or Communist does not always mean "dangerous". I am sure if you went across southern Pakistan or even crossed the border at Kashmir and headed south you would not experience any problems. In "communist" countries the biggest problem is likely to be rules/paperwork. India is not communist but they love paperwork.

Active war zones are off course to be avoided but the rest of thew world is OK. The risk of being robbed or having your bike stolen is no more acute there than it is anywhere. Agreed i am not sure if i would go to Iraq at the moment but even ISIS are not looking for one guy on a motorbike!

^^ Where do you live ?

One place to start in Bangkok would be the cable shop near Tesco Rama 4 . They sell stuff for ships! But they won't have square section security chain. (Which can still be cut)

Think more to do with AC making every panel by hand for what they wanted, nothing pressed.

Saw a foto of the Aston Martin wooden forms (called Bucks ???) for hand forming the Aluminum for their bodies ... a Dying (or Dead) Art !

I have a friend from my youth who builds ERA bodies and other classics by hand. But he is getting on now so yes maybe a dying art...

Slightly related I was riding my ZX-9R @ 230 km/h wearing shorts

Next you will be telling us how dangerous the roads are..

Location, location, location. If you don't tell us where then locals cannot tell you the exact layout of your nearest course. Yes there is a hill start, yes you have to reverse into a parking space, no there is no emergency stop.

When you passed your theory, you didn't think it necessary to walk over to the practical area to see what they were doing?

Rent the car from the examiner.

Good truck and one can get a m/bike in the back.

Do thai traders do that?

Do you have a pet bear? Take him for a walk in the woods!

..and they remove the airbags..

Seeing as Click uses PCX Mk1 engine I seem to remember something about ECU programming and rapid throttle opening to do with parking lot maneuvering.

My neighbor had an Avanza that had transmission problems. It cost him or rather his company 40,000. So 20,000 sounds OK.

If it still starts, runs, performs OK, fuel usage is OK. Then leave it. As soon as it starts to run rough or use more fuel or.. Then get the LPG system serviced. What they do depends on whether you take it to a place that sells LPG systems or a place that sells and services LPG systems.

If you see a few taxis in for service , that place is probably OK?

HINT: As TV no longer shows contributor's location, maybe start the question with. I live in Nakon Nowhere and... Then if people have businesses they trust in near your location...?

because a CCTV caught me going the wrong way or some s..t like that

There is a camera there because lots of people do whatever you did.

Illegal U turn?

Being in the left lane and following the locals across a red light

Exiting/entering the Expressway and crossing the white hatched lines (probably not but my mate from Lao got done for that)

Turning left on red when there is no sign (again following a local who will also be getting a letter)

Making an extra Fortuner lane when doing a U turn/right/left turn.

Q. Do we get a copy of the actual picture? If so OP can post it and we can all see?

^ or even the NS400R

Kf6vci,

It is not difficult here to have an NSR300 if that would suffice.

Riding style? Sits at a stand still and mashes the throttle wide open from idle?

Throttle cable poorly adjusted?

Bike is an old 110 and OP weighs 150kgs?

Its a rental hack and has never been maintained?

Of course the exact nature of said "lag" has not been explained.

Engine speed doesn't instantly increase?

Engine speed increases but there seems to be a fractional delay in change of speed.

Etc, Etc.

^ and a 530 TMAX.

^ What he said. If he is intelligent and you have told him that is all you can do. Tell him please don't call me from hospital or expect anyone you know to see me at you funeral.

Hmm. So with some sort of long term Thai visa you want to ride a bike, say, Malaysian registered, into Thailand when you are not a Malaysian resident, with no Malaysian driving license etc. ? Hey it might work if you are entering on a tourist visa which you got in Malaysia but...

If not riding it here, how do you propose to get it here without importing it? I suppose you could bring it on the train? But still not sure how that would work...

Sounds like a complicated fun project?

Thai drivers have no respect or understanding of or for big bikes.

A single headlight is a motocy, big or small makes no difference. How would anyone tell? Sure making a decision of what speed one thinks said motocy is travelling is wrong, but the driver cannot tell what it is. So one should ride accordingly.

He probably didn't realize the truck was towing a trailer which was the start of it, but in this case I'm thinking fixation was the final cause. He almost got the stop,drop and roll correct but then stood up.

Thailand is not unique. Sadly cars/trucks pull out in front of bikes in every country. There is even a YouTube of one in the UK from the late rider's camera.

Awareness and vigilance is the best defense. In any country.

I think the J300 is a Kymco in sheep's clothing.

It allows them to focus on making better proper bikes than the likes of Honda.

Boring..

WSBK standings

1 Jonathan Rea Kawasaki Racing Team 548

2 Chaz Davies Aruba.it Ducati Racing 416

3 Tom Sykes Kawasaki Racing Team 399

Not quite so boring?

Oops forgot SuperSport

1 Kenan Sofuoglu Kawasaki Puccetti 233

OK firstly. One baby takes up the same space as two adults.

If considering an Avanza, have a look at Suzuki Ertiga.

AC in the back is important in Asia!

OT: In September I bought a Diesel VW, now i am fuming!

Shell V-Power is reported as having similar benefits to fuel system cleaner. You might try using that for a few tankfuls? Rather than driving to KK specially.

CQ,

In Thailand i doubt the thing has ever worked as it is not cold enough?

Why would you assume this is off the books? Workshop time is workshop time. You will get charged for it.

On occasion i buy the parts staff some custard tarts from KFC?
