  1. 5600 km in showroom condition
    Tail Tidy
    Akrapovic exhaust
    Shad panniers

     

    Not the dog humping a football racer style seating position of other Ducati bikes, but more on the sporty side of sports touring.  A brilliant handling bike as one would expect from Ducati.

    The is the S model so full Ohlins suspension, quick shifter, and the good Brembo brakes.  Traction control, ABS,  ride modes....the works

     

    Too much bike for me at 65, and will take an air cooled Ducati + cash on trade

  2. Legal blue (not grey) registration book and legally registered in Chiangmai so easy to change title. There are very few old cars in Thailand, never mind one with a clean title, with all mods registered and legal. 
    39 Vauxhall Model 10, all steel body with several body mods:
    3 inch top chop
    2 door conversion
    Shaved body including doors and trunk
    Louvered hood
    Filled roof
    Suicide doors are stock, but modified with modern bearclaw safety latches
    New modern safety glass
    Custom fenders
    Custom stainless grill

    Running gear:
    Toyota 2JZ- VVTI which is a straight 6, variable valve timing, 3 liter, 220 HP NA engine. The engine compartment is too narrow for a SBF, or the turbo version of this engine
    Matching Auto transmission
    Nissan 4.11:1 posi rear on a 3 link coil suspension
    Toyota IFS - all rebuilt
    4 wheel power disc brakes
    17" wheels with new tires

    Custom interior is brand new, with Aircon, power windows, and Classic Instruments gauges.
    No stereo as of yet, so install what you want in the console space provided

    Only test miles since completion, and selling as I have lost interest in the car hobby

  3. 2011 Kawi 650 Versys
    Original Engineer enthusiast Owner with too many bikes
    The Versys shortfalls of bad brakes and cheap suspension have been addressed, along with a host of little mods to result in a much better bike set up for sport touring. Nothing left to do but ride it

     

    Showa BPSF fork from a 2014 Kawi ZX6R.  This is the hot set up for ER6 racers and gives one the advantage of a much better fully adjustable fork and larger radial brakes.  New seals and serviced 100 km ago
    This was not a cheap mod and I question whether there is another Versys in the country like this

    This fork is 50mm shorter than a standard Versys and the proper way to lower the bike. The local practice, and one used by Motorwerk, moves the fork legs up on the yoke, thereby changing trail. As you might expect, changing the steering geometry is not the preferred lowering method

     

    Rear shock is a Showa from a Yamaha R1 fitted with a custom spring.  
    Mounted on a genuine Motowerk lowering block and not a cheap Thai copy of unknown alloy.  In combination with the front the bike now sits 50mm lower 

     

    Larger 310mm radial front brakes
    These are proper radial mount callipers,  not a radial calliper on a cheesy radial to axial mount adapter. Paired with the latest Brembo RCS19 adjustable ratio radial master cylinder this bike brakes like a sport bike, and how a Versys should brake had Kawi not fitted cheap brakes. Stock ABS is retained
    Rear brake is stock 
    EBC-HH pads both ends


    ZX1 front mudguard

    New Metzler tires
    Engine guards
    LED driving lights
    Stiebel Natalus 105 db horn that gets attention
    Hand guards on custom brackets and not the flimsy version supplied
    Givi windscreen
    Hard mounted panniers.  Positioned forward for better weight balance and narrower than the bars.  A fat ass bike is not helpful when trying to navigate clogged traffic. 
    H&K Pelican style rear box on a custom powdercoated mount  that I only mount for long trips
    Custom Side fairings to take away the stock anteater look 
    Powder coated rear sub frame 
    Acropovic muffler
    Power Commander V and tuned with Power Commander autotune
    Throttle body sub plates removed
    Pollution control removed
    Throttle bodys are paired
    K&N air filter and air box opened up
    Tank grip pads
    Custom seat cover
    Supersprox front and rear sprockets, with the strongest X-ring chain RK offers.  Rear is 2 teeth smaller for a more suitable road use ratio
    Paddock stands
    Radiator cover
    Headlight modulator that constantly flashes the low beam during the day - this really gets you noticed by inattentive car drivers
    80/100 W headlight

     

    59,000 KM  on Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil and synthetic filter since new

    Have all the stock parts, with both a workshop and parts manual

     

    150,000 B and no time wasters please.  

    If it does not sell at this price I will strip the goodies and sell the bike equipped like all the other Versys out there

  4. I am wondering how Thai banks charge interest on a motorbike loan as the "promotions" at the current Motorshow do not seem like promotions at all

     

    Triumph for example is offering 3.29% but the end cost seems too much.

    Do they charge on the original loan amount until the final payment, or the declining value as one pays it off?

     

    Do any Thai lenders on bikes offer what I would think of as a normal rate calculation?

    no,   not at all,  cobber

    its taken approx 5 yrs to get to your present position (IF true),   the question now  is,    how long ??   to close the present,  Hole  In The  Wall  access to Green Valley Condo

    When that access is sealed,   good and proper,  perhaps the Home Owners of Green Valley,   feel they have. had a victory  ,  but my view is,  it possibly  be their loss, in the future,  due to the condos    not  selling,  in  a very favourable location in Mae Rim  

    in other words , a  concrete skelton, (so to speak)  still remains on their door step, which surely will not assist their property  prices,   in Green Valley,  no good,  for all  partys involved,    is my call

    its a Daddy Cool good arvo to all

     

     

     

    You really have no idea

    Your update above about the access dispute is contrary to the statements from some of GV residents, their word is that the condo lost the case in the first court and the condo group is now appealing the case.

    Who is telling you it is done and dusted in favor of the condo?

    The Homeowners won the case against Green Valley in Appeals Court last month.  The case is against Green Valley and not the Condo

    The decision was that the gate access cutting through the mooban fence into the Green Valley Condo from Green Valley golf course road is illegal and must be closed.  Furthermore the Green Valley road ownership must revert to the Homeowners

  7. K Sutee's shop across the road from Surawong bookstore.

    Lots of choice and if he does not have your size, will bring in within a day or two.  In fact he brought me in 2 sizes of 15,000 boots so that I could choose the best size

     

    Fair price, and he has quality helmets and all the good (and bad) gear

  8. Ask Ducati on fb

    @matale0

    You would think that given that most have their noses stuck in their phones all day long my FB question from 4 days ago would have been answered

    Maybe that is the answer and once the "sale" is over on the old models they will see fit to answer me

  9. Nikon website describes the difference between D and G lenses and apparently it is the lack of the aperature control ring in the G

    http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Learn-And-Explore/Article/go35b5yp/which-nikkor-lens-type-is-right-for-your-dslr.html

    I would think that having an aperature control ring is a good thing? Then why is the D series cheaper?

    Is there more to it than just the aperature ring?

    I also see DX format specific 1.8D and G at

  10. Given a focal length multiplier of 1.5 I was thinking of a 35mm prime lens with a fairly fast aperature spec

    I am not clear on how the D7100 with focus motor in the body works with old manual focus lenses. Will the camera motor turn my old Nikkor 50mm f1.4 into an autofocus lens?
