well well i see seen it before on youtube.com/ringofpower take a look at this info lots more on the main net too

yes that's the one nice bike to much power strong though. Singapore bike if anyone needs to know

is that the black rocket thats now orange? if it is then its been around a bit.......with no book still after a few years?!

they look for the only thing you don't have a big bulging lump in your pants yes you got it a big wad of cash for them to spend add some extra paper to your pockets and see how that works low pay to a thai is 3000 bt pet month but actuary if you do get a date you have to spoil them see no other girl or look at them the whole time shops are good for the ladys the bars are not take them to a thai show

yes that was me it was a triumph 2300cc rocket that did the damage though passed out from a diabetic suger low that's how i found out i was diabetic.the bike was a bit scraped up to .

hi guys well the truth is this i worked with him for 10 months and in that time i had 4mill in bikes in the shop for sale the deal was that he sold the bikes for as much as he could yes not over priced but as much as possible. the books were a bastard to get done Thai law makes it hard for jap imports to get books or plates,

they want money for the books with out the proper papers not a hope all jap bikes come in from bkk in bits the import papers are for bike bits you have to have a frame invoice and an engen invoice the tax is paid on entry the book is on top after it is sold. the tax is per cc 400cc=60000bt up to 90000bt for a big cc this gets picked up by the bkk tax agent and then you have to hope for the Thai government to pass it this can take 3 to 4 months.

but the money gets paid first we can do nothing about this its the way it is done one office one agent and they take there sweet time. the bikes are rebuilt in bkk or chonbury and we got them from the guys who built them. when a bike was sold it was a split up with the paid cost coming back to me, the rest was the book man the repairs and then a split up 50% to me 50% to the shop. the other bikes in the shop was a different story you guys would agree for Scott to sell for the agreed price he put more on top to make a profit normal it was a business after all and the over heads were high. scott had made a big mistake a few years ago with this auto trader mag good idea but very expensive

. and at the same time the thaibay.biz was costing a lot so he had funded the lot buy using the money he got for selling bikes the customer bikes in the old shop next to the Bangkok pattaya hospital north pattaya. as we now know he got in far over his head. the money was going out faster than coming in he was stuck with a mag that needed a mill a month thaibay a mill a month but he did not have any money coming in he did not own any thing in the shop. it was all customers stock but the money he got for the bikes was used up on bills he was flat busted broke.

the new shop was the answer he thought it would give him the space he needed to get back up on top the auto trader was scraped or put on hold. thaibay was left to tick over with out much activeness two staff left to run it 30000 a month out on that. ok so it seemed to be sorted but the bikes he had sold before had not been paid for and that was the problem it came and bit him in the ass when he sold a bike he had to pay the owner but he would put it off for as long as he could and pay the older sales off yes rob peter to pay paul.this is ok if you sell 3 or 4 bikes a day but that did not happen sometimes one a week or one a month. i got the shop covered by the workshop repairs and soon the wages rent tax electric where covered it was good for a few months then he started to get involved with ktm trying to get a dealership this cost to much and broke the bank again. this was the final straw it was impossible to get out of the rut without a big banker coming in i had tried i put in 2 mill

=4 mill in bikes and 10 months of my time it looked like there was no way to save this shop from the final sinarieo and then i had the problem of my bikes were not selling fast and money was tight again,.,.,.

i had to go back to the uk and fight a Greek <deleted> who was is trying to fuc_k with my restaurant in London so i had no way of being in two places at the same time and London is were i make my living i had to go and fight there last may still going on today and wont finish till July. this left Scott with a lot of my bikes and a lot of debts as well he found a new partner with money and stuffed me . some shit that was but i worked it out it was going to cost me more to try and stay in than get out so out was cheaper.after this i don't know much of what happened the new guy was paying the bills. i got back to see the end of the shop bailiffs and trucks lifting the shop stock and all out of the building and now it is for rent again.so i don't think he has a nest egg of much left he did have a living out of it but the big money he did not get unless he sold thaibay or auto trader. so it was business and the lack of sales that did it cops taking taxman taking customs trying to cease bikes and taking 60000 for a bike with no book some staff on the rob as well fuc_ked a good shop it could have been a good shop. to hard in pattaya to make a good shop work to many nasty informers and takers here to make money and the cost of the books was also a big one. i got out last may cost me a lot but i got out. only lost 4mill to much and not happy with that but that's life. had Scott been honest he could have made it work. he got to involved with some one who helped him make this thaibay and auto trader mag he should have stayed with the bikes.. the final days someone else will have to fill in i don't know what happened at the end but i can guess..

hi dave will try to get in this weekend if the wife will let me out see you soon go to hear you got lem back sweeney

hi Dave in town for a holl for 3 weeks before getting back to the grind in London.

well i am not surprised at all the the shop went down.!!!!

while i was there i got the work shop to make a profit and looked good but the cash was going out faster than coming in. and the old debts from bike sales long sold was to much to keep up with. could have been a good shop if the debts were not there.

i was ripped off yes but i invested in this my own fault.I did not get the promised 50% or any cut off the shop profits. yes i did try to keep it honest- and true hard work to do under the circumstances

losses! well 500000 1600 Yamaha sold but money went out the door somewhere. a stead 120000bt a Kawasaki 50cc dirt bike sold 80000bt same story. a red TNT Beneli 130 600000bt gone .anyone know where.

and if i had not got my other bikes out they would have gone to i got my 3 BMW's out and a 1400 Suzy all with plates and books but losses were big 2000000bt for a non existent partnership plus 1300000 in bikes bikes are now for sale .all legal books and plates nice bikes BMW x 3 1400 Suzy

but it could have been worse mike kicked in 6 mill plus he can afford it maybe but it is still wrong Scott was a dishonest man it will come back on him 10 fold and it wont be long before some one finds him .

me i don't give a shit, money is hard to get easy to lose i will get more and try again. the blues!!!!.

the good it helped me to get over the death of my first born two years ago in mikes shopping mall more important than money found i had diabetes and got it in control-+ new baby on the way this summer still got 4 big bikes looking forward not back still got the pattaya franchise for the cell therapy to get started. don't have the money at the moment 4 mill due to Scott! but that will come.in time .

the lake has lots of water and fish . still nice to sit and look at the water .

restaurant in London still doing well turning over a mill per year so i am happy.

so how are you and yours doing. well i hope love the place.

i have not seen eve yet this trip but this week i hope and her baby .

any way i have good health and some wealth left wish you and yours a good life and trouble free time in pattaya. i am back to London soon so next trip i will get out and about a bit more when the wife is not so big.

any way i have one thing to say to all in pattaya the rumors spread by Scott about me he got from the police volunteer Kevin who owes me are completely untrue and the shit will come back to them. the facts are not important but the using of them to rip off your investors is stupid childish and downright nasty an and so if it was you Kevin that cost me the 4 mill loss at the bike shop then he had better find the money to pay back your debt to me.+ quickly

Sweeney

.

=

I have known Scott for a good 6 years + now but only on a friendly basis and he was a nice Bloke, didn't have any business dealings with him apart from buying a couple of bikes off him and helping him pick up/ drop bikes off etc during the day etc, Have heard alot of stories etc etc etc, Funny as I was drinking with him about a month or so ago and chatting to his missus just the other week and now he's done one!

Anyone know what happened with his UK partner Sweeney?

sounds like a pure con artist ..its bad enough getting ripped off by some thais but a farang doing this is bad ........glad i never had any dealings with this scott bloke

As said he was a mate, No business dealings at all although as said I've know the stories etc, in the last couple of years I rarely saw him as often as before.

DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT IMPORTING MOTORBIKE

I'M INTERESTED IN BRINGING MY MOTORBIKE COMPLETE NOT STRIPPED DOWN AS PARTS WITH A FEW PERSONAL ITEMS TO THAILAND IN A CONTAINER BUT HAVEN'T A CLUE AS HOW MUCH TAX IF ANY IS CHARGED?

I KNOW THAT MOST BIKES ARE 60-70,000 BAHT TO REGISTER FOR A NUMBER PLATE/GREEN BOOK,DOES THIS INCLUDE THE IMPORT TAX AS PRESUMED?

ANY INFO MUCH APPRECIATED

ENGLISH FARANG

PS BEWARE ALL FARANG NOT USE THAI IN CAR PARK,BANGKOK VECHICLE REGISTRATION OFFICE,TO REGISTER YOUR BIKE,THEY JUST TAKE MONEY,RIPP YOU OFF!!!

Click above link and give them a call

first/ step sell your house so you have the money for the tax.

if your bike cost 5000pounds as new that is the price of the tax x 3 or 143% of the first price look on the net thai import duty you will find it so you still want to bring your bike. ok but first you need an import licence and all the paperwork for it not easy.

so if you must have your bike here then this is what to do remove the engi=ene and ship in one box to a bike shop in thailand ie siam motor cycles pattaya city then you pay the 17% import tax on that as a spare part then you strip the frame and the weels ect putting all the parts in good packing and number every thig to help the rebuilding then you ship that not at the same time as the tax man will spot it .

use a diferent shipping service you pay the ax due on entery and the bike can be put back 100%

this is a big saving of two ways 17% against 143% allso the parts are seconhand and not worth much

when you build it back up the book and paper work can bedone by siam motor cycles as can the book.

the book will cost 35000 up to 400cc 60000 upto 650cc and a wopping 95000 over 650cc so work it out and you see stipping it down is better

mr tea

I note that most kitchen sink units available in Thailand are styled to install a waste disposal unit in the plumbing, or 'InSinkErator' to use the name of the most popular US brand of food waste disposal. Usually that 'small sink' (between the main sink and the draining board) is where waste food is scraped off the plates and the disposal unit in the drain line chops it centrifugally much like a food blender and dumps it in the main drainage flow. However, I have never seen any electric waste disposal units on sale in Pattaya and the small sink drain is simply T-connected to the main sink drain or not even plumbed in.

Has anyone seen any waste disposal units being sold, maybe in Bangkok home improvement and plumbing suppliers?

yes but you dont have a drain to put it to only a tank under your house that wont work for long it will clog up and die 36 years as a plumber

The stupidest farrang i have ever seen was spotted the other day on central road near carrefoure on a motor byke. For a "helmet" he was wearing a childs plastic toy UK policemans helmet.

Complete prat in my opinion. And whilst I dont mind if he kills himself, he will probably take others with him when he goes.And all this when for about 250 baht you can get a helmet.

That's quite unlikely. Why would wearing a cheap helmet make it more likely that he'll kill someone else?

because he must be a cop from the uk
