I have a Keeway TXM200 and it is a well-made bike and very comfortable.

Anyway, what is the price of the BN600 in Thailand?

Any under seat storage on the SH150?

Triumph started making the Tiger Cub in 1956, two years before Honda started using the Cub name in 1958.

Honda first used the Cub name in 1952:

blah, blah, blah... too many quotes...

She will need to have a Thai birth certificate to get on her mothers house book.

By registering her birth at the Thai embassy where she was born is the normal way of getting her a birth certificate. An example is here: http://www.thaiembassyuk.org.uk/?q=node/191

Her birth registration can be done here at the consular affairs division of the MFA in Bangkok. They will send the required documents to the embassy where she was born for them to do the registration.

I believe that I had read that MFA will require authentication of the b/c by US Dept of State. I am trying to get that done now so that it may expedite matters later. Thanks again!

Ubonjoe, Thank you for posting this. My daughter has a Thai mother and will be coming to Thailand on a non-O visa on the basis of visiting her Thai mother. Once here, it appears that she may be able to extend that for a year based on the 2.23 section of the Police Order in the thumbnail. That is great news. Assuming that she is able to get the one year extension, will she then be allowed to also work in Thailand? Thanks for all your good informative posts!

In order to work she will need to establish her Thai nationality by getting listed in a house book and getting a ID card.

Was her birth registered at a Thai embassy or consulate?

If not the first thing she will have do is get a Thai birth certificate.

She was born in the US but her US birth certificate plainly says that her mother is Thai. Never registered in Thailand. How would she get a Thai birth certificate? Will she need that before being able to get in her mothers house book and ID card? Thank you!

Very nice bunch of CB's, but no CBR's in that group.

Like the Honda Cub? No way. Esp. since Honda just re-released the bike as "Super Cub".

If any-one owns the rights to the name of Tiger Cub for a bike, I would expect it to be Triumph. That's what they called one of their bikes in the 70's. A smaller cousin of the Tiger.

Honda started using the Cub name in the 1950's.

That is extremely helpful - many thanx!!

You are very welcome. Please keep us updated on how it goes for you.

Your post made this shipping company sound like one to check out - but you don't say which company it was. Can you elaborate? Thanx!

Took nearly two months as the shipment went out of Savannah, Georgia and made a few stops along the way, but well worth the cost in the end. They did ask for a couple of thousand baht from my friend once it got to Bangkok, which he somewhat reluctantly paid. The shipment was delivered to his house a couple of days after that with the now rusty lock and seal intact. I would not hesitate to pay that add-on fee if I were you. Enough said.

See next post.

A friend of mine recently shipped a 40 foot container from Tampa, Florida to Korat for less than $4000. It was a door to door shipment based on his Thai wife returning to Thailand. Customs was not a problem at all. Shipping company apparently knew how to get through that. The container was never opened anywhere in between. I was there helping him to load in Florida and to unload in Korat.

A Sportster or anything smaller than a Sportster does not even feel like a Harley to me. I have ridden new Sportsters and I have owned a new Low Rider. There is no comparison. You gotta have that big-block engine to really experience what a Harley is all about.

The 2014 Ultras and Limiteds have the new water-cooled V-twin big-blocks.

But the Harley haters on this thread don't care anyway.

Some of the 2014 bikes will be the new water-cooled V-twin.

Here is a link I found that shows CNG stations on a Google map all around Thailand:

But none are within two hours of my location!

KLR650 would be a nice option.

Awesome skills on display. These guys are amazing.

sure, but in this video you can see (and hear) why a harley like that will never be able to corner fast. just not enough ground clearance.

You wanted us all to believe with your video that a harley can corner so i showed the proof that that is not the case in the real world.

There is more to the enjoyment of a motorbike than just being the fastest 0-60 or fastest going around a corner.

Did someone mention how bad Harleys perform in the handling department? I think that was mentioned several times.

now try that in the real world and not in a micky mouse corner and see what happens .

that moron still trying to look cool as sh,,te after he crashed, soooo funny

It is not so difficult to find hundreds of dumb sportbike rider crashes on YouTube.

What is it with sportbike riders? They seem to think they own the road:

no, we mostly occupy the fast lane only

Oh yes. As plainly shown in the YouTube video that is shown in that thread. My bad.

I have owned over 35 different bikes in my time. Some in Thailand, some in Japan, but mostly in the US. I ordered my Keeway TXM200 without ever having seen anything other than a picture of it. The quality is amazing to see for the money paid. My friend, who owns 2 Kawasaki 650s in Thailand is even impressed. My house is in a very rural area of NE Thailand, but is right beside the main road. When I go out on the bike, I ride it pretty much wide-open throttle most of the time. I have done so from the beginning because I subscribe to the "ride it like you stole it" method of break-in, just don't let it get too hot. And change the oil early on. The thing tops out at about 110kph but it will do that willingly, even with the wife on the back of it. It is built like a tank and has one of the most comfortable seats that I can ever remember having on any motorcycle that I have owned.

Just my two-cents worth on owning "Chinese junk".

Like the man said, check out the Keeway threads and read what the actual owners have to say. But as I have mentioned before on TV forums, the dealer of these bikes is less than wonderful, at least in far NE Thailand. Mod Daeng Motors is their name. The bike itself is great.

I can imagine that the Benelli is very fine also. I just hope that someone other than Mod Daeng Motors is selling them around NE Thailand.

Harley did make a cafe-racer back in the late 70s.
