  1. 15000 is a good cheap price for standard Jap car.

    50000 is too much even for 4x4.

    80000 is ridiculous.

    Correct... average you need for about 5000 bath an paint, sandpaper, filler, tape and other small supplies.

    so 10000 for labor/ workshop costs.

    All that you pay more, if you have no special paint job, is a scam.

  2. After reading all kind strange reasons why one bike can and a other not use the high way i think it's time for a new criteria.

    The bike must be black, build in China, have 149.5 cc, must have 2 working exhaust, have a straight up sit position and have a full wind shield.

    I think i will qualify perfect for that rule so it will be a good law.

  3. First of all glad that the accident end with only damage to the bike.

    As I did see other people suggest you I think it would be better that you spend some money an driving lessons. You need the hole road, 2 lanes and switch without check and give signal. As I can see on the video you just lost control over your bike, Maybe because you came close by the side bar.

    May this be a good lesson and hope in future that you drive your brain switched on.

  4. None of this all. They will build a nice monument, put a nice copper plate on it and the text will be something like " for the

    Fukushima heroes" . Every year will will be quiet for 1 minute and think an them. The relatives get a nice piece of paper and a medal that they can hang on the wall to show to others where the lost died.

    This is the standard practice that is followed after every disaster. And as always the dead don't complain.

  5. Nice one. Looks like you're getting your value out of it. I wonder how many posters would have predicted that it would have rusted into oblivion by now. 6 yrs later and still running strong.

    What's the big dial on the gas tank?

    The big dail house a digital petrol meter, gear indicator and the petrol fill opening.

  6. 1000km in one year, that not even 100 km per month?

    So what is your 1st mode of transport?

    You threat it like some Harley riders I know in Pattaya, only taking it out for a spin twice a week and only when the sun shinesbiggrin.png

    1 st mode is a car

    2 th small motorbike for in the village and 7/11 runs

    3 th bicycle for around the corner and go with the dog

    4 th legs... to come by the one of the modes biggrin.png

    Yes, I am now a nice weather driver. Rain, to hot, to dusty.... or just lazy then take the car.

    I use the Platinum only for hobby now. When I bought him he was the only mean of transport and drove all over Bangkok with her. Since the car came and got work near house she is with retirement.....

  7. replace the headlight bulb (about 7 times)...

    This is most time a problem from a to high voltage from the generator. Measure the voltage, esp the peaks. If higher then 13 V DC then place a restrictor between the lamp bulb. He will cut off the high peaks and ensure the life time of the bulb

  8. For we all start jump maybe it's a good idea to change the tittle from this topic.

    The Lady who passed away, Margaret Thatcher and not Maggie Thatcher.

    I don't believe in life after this, no rust in piece from me, but she was a remarkeble woman who left a foot print in the English political landscape. Thank you for that.

  9. Yes, that is a problem. You can order your sparkplug remover, who also can mount it back, in Germany by Belzer.

    The DeLuxe model will cost you about Euro 210.00 and Euro 60,00 Post and handling.

    The Standard model is a the standard tool for cheap Charlies and cost about Euro 180,00 and off course the Euro 60.00 Post and handling.

    I am not sure what the Import Tax on this products are but I would count on 200% to be an the sure side.

    With regardswai2.gif

    PS. You can also walk in a Tesco or Big C and take one of the shell for about 80 bath.

  10. OK speedo stopped working today,

    Most time the speedo stops is because one of the ends did come lose.

    Check the side near the front wheel centre. If lose tighten it. Be careful that the square end fits properly in the part by your wheel centre.

    Check the side under the speedo meter.

    Both sides put some grease on the wiring and screw the first windings with hand so you can feel resistance.

    Tighten both and secure it with less force from a pliers.

    About the oil change. Never trust somebody to do this for you. Buy good 4 stroke oil in a shop and change it your self.

    Let your engine run for a few minutes. Open the oil inlet. Place a plastic scale under the outlet and unscrew it. The warm oil runs out quickly. When the main part is out the engine. Rotate the engine with the kick starter or start engine, be sure the stop knob is on STOP and activate the clutch and gear pedal regularly.

    Check the oil that comes out the engine. Color and viscose of it tells a lot about the state of the engine, also a good habit is it to check with a magnet if there are iron parts in’t. Clean the oil outlet and screw. Screw in the oil screw and tighten it with a spanner. After 5 oil change replace the copper stop washer. Fill the engine with the new oil.

    If no problems put the old oil in the can and bring this to a bigger garage for disposal. Oil don’t belong in a canal or sewer.

  11. I read somewhere that you could drive a normal family car for more than 250,000 miles and still do less damage to the environment than it does just building a Toyota Prius, let alone running one..

    For more information, in the English language, look at this website from the BBC and the links to the Norwegian Univercity.

    Also on the websites from Daimler Benz, BMW, BASF and Siemens are legio articles about more envirronmnal friendly producing.
