excellent and they just guaranteed my business

41 years on Harleys as of this week, and they have changed a lot over that period of time. I suggest that you do not have the foggiest idea of what you are talking about

And yes, during that 41 years I have also concurrently owned Japanese, British, German, Italian, Swedish, Indian, and Spanish bikes. I currently ride a HD, Enfgield, and Thai made Jap bike.

Horses for courses

nobody see one for sale in the CM area?

Badbanker - pm sent about the diesel conversion

Thanks to all riders that coma along and to our Sponsors for making this all possible.

Also special thanks to the Euro Diner who, in spite of being closed for renovations this week, made a special effort and provided lunch for the riders.

Dave will be posting some pics of this event on our website so be sure to visit www.chiangmaitoyride.com

The give away ride is this morning and here in Mae Rim it is shaping up for a nice day without a rain cloud in sight

See you all at Tesco on the Superhighway, leaving at 10:30.

Look for the Chiangmai ToyRide banner at the Superhighway end of the parking lot - same place where we depart for the main ride every year

a convicted murder who jumped bail does not deserve any slack, and should serve time pending his appeal

Whoops, it is tomorrow June 18

Sorry for the confusion as obviously none of us noticed this until now. Thanks for pointing it out

The logic for the 10:30 departure is that we arrive at the orphanage before noon to present the kids with their toys, amuse them with the clown, and have lunch. A bit of hanging around after with the kids, then off for the ride.

I am also thinking of up 118 and across to Fang, then back to CM.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks to all that have confirmed and hope to see more riders Saturday morning.

As usual for group rides, arrive with a full tank of fuel if you are coming on the ride after.

Mrs Hoghead (she just loves the name) is organizing lunch for the riders and would appreciate knowing how many TV members are attending

Please either chime in here or PM me

I am organizing the post event ride. Any suggestions keeping in mind the various skill levels of the participants, different types of bikes, and that we are leaving from Doi Saket around 1 and should be back in CM by dark

I don't get it

He is not coming just in case it rains, but wants to go on a ride?

In any case, those that ride bikes are welcome to the latest Chiangmai ToyRide event

see our website for what the Chiangmai ToyRide is all about My link

Come to the Chiangmai ToyRide event on Saturday and then the ride after

Tesco on the Superhighway, leaving at 10:30

Convicted of murder, jumped bail, reported to police, and then let go to return home?

Open to suggestions, and to some extent it depends on the experience level of those going along

How about up the 118, over on 120 to Phayao, and back to CM? If we really wanted to make a day of it we could come from Phayao on 1 to Lampang and then to CM. This is a fast sweeping road, divided a fair ways, and can be good fun.

Any suggestions

auto paint supply shops sell it.

try the one on the right, just down from the moat on the Irish Pub road

Documented, Engineer report, inspection by MOT, and payment of excise tax.

Colour change and engine change are done all the time and MOT is familiar with the procedure

I am going to change from retirement to married this year to get grandfathered at 400K as it galls me to have 800K in the bank doing nothing, on top of the 500 I have to put up to get a "credit" card.

Granted you only need the 800K for 90 days prior, but it still annoys me.

I am building a Speedster kit car, based on an existing Thai registered Beetle chassis.

The key is to have an existing chassis c/w blue book, and when I looked into this, getting a new book for a chassis imported as parts is impossible if you are not connected.

Frankly the Speedster was not my first choice in kit cars, however once you need to use a car with an existing blue book, the selection of suitable, available, donor cars narrows considerably.

Look forward to seeing you all on Saturday the 18th and are planning the post event ride now and praying for no rain.

Wanted - Suzuki pickup style jeep. A worn out or beat up one preferred as I plan to rebuild it as an offroad jeep

I did the same with a bike never imported - Indian made Royal Enfield

I provided them with a very thick file showing:

Domestic value when new in 2000

Domestic value of the most recent model of a similar bike as my model is discontinued

Value of the same model in the Indian resale market

A letter in Thai explaining everything so the need to think was minimized

They went with my value

My buddy went through the same procedure with an identical bike, and I provided him with the same info. He choose not to provide the Bureaucrats with the file as "they will just make up their own value anyway".

Apparently the Authorities simply went to the internet and found the resale value of a similar new model in the USA and charged him over 2X what it cost me. Not surprising as the cost in the USA has little bearing on the cost in country or orgin

what brand and model and then we can give you the right advice

try the nut and bolt shop across Narawat Bridge, heading towards the Superhighway. On the L, before the first light

This is the best bolt shop in CM and they have just about anything

Kuma Engineering in Lampang is putting in a powder line now and an oven capable of reaching ceramic cure temperatures. Jeff is a biker and will be doing ceramic for bikes

Late model, 4WD, hunting - not race style, ATV wanted,

name brand only - IE no Chinese copies
