Rattan armchair, feet up on footstool, good paperback, overhead fan on full blast, wearing sarong only, big mug of PG Tips daytime or tall Bombay 'n' tonic on ice evenings, cold shower any time of day or night....... sheer bliss! Guess I did learn something growing up in Singapore!!

A question mark still hangs in the air above eating establishments in Jomtien regarding the quality of sausages offered.

Not any more! "Foot Long" Cumberland.

Well nearly completed my bike and now my GF is getting pissed she cant ride two with me. I have never come across this before usually women in my life dont want the trouble of being perched on a sport bike. Even worse i tossed my old tail section and can only seat one. She has literally demanded i get a different bike we can ride together!

I guess we could always swap keys for a blat....... I'm sure your missus would enjoy a tour on the Pig and I know I'd enjoy an hour or so on your beast!

Mine is scared of riding now after a drunk bas_tard sob fuk_wit <deleted> muppet geriatric AR_SEHOLE sideswiped us and took us out up in Nong Khai 18 months ago. The fact that she has lost all confidence and no longer enjoys the bike is the most dissapointing thing that has happened in donkeys years.

Take the beach road north and as the road bends to the right to head back up to S'vit you'll see a soi leading off on the left (the Samitivej Hospital is down this soi).... the hotel is only a few meters down and on the left hand side. Therefore I would presume the small soi is Jermjompol.

There was a time not so very long ago you'd be walking down Soi Buakhao and could've been mistaken for thinking it was a British principality, the number of St Georges Cross and Union Flags flying! And very sad to see a large number of Union flags were upside down!

I fly the flag of our host Nation every December when on what is commonly known as "The Kings Ride" up to Chiang Mai. (And if you can spot 'im, little Chaiyo gets a ride too!)

Why don't you ask the same question on the forum at: www.sihanoukvilleonline.com

BM Casper is always very willing with helpful advice. Smashing bloke when you get to meet him too.

I gotta ask Mr Google for the name of that outfit...

Boys from the Blackstuffwater?

... the PM, through this action, has just bit*h slapped the entire Thai police force.

...... which of course is exactly what they needed!

How about posting a photo here of the pillion seat/grabrail/rear fender/indicators arse end of your bike. This sub-forum seems to be filled with decent guys who I am sure would have helpful suggestions, and as you are in Samut Prakarn I'm absolutely certain that you'll not be too far away from someone who can manufacture something for you. Getting it chromed (properly) will probably be the more taxing of the two jobs!

Do you know any of the Pak Nam Riders MC? They're Samut Prakarn, mostly Thai and I am 100% sure they could help you.

If you were in the Pattaya/Jomtien area I could lead you straight to a number of places, so if you have no luck bear that in mind...... we're just down the road!

i read somewhere the primeminister did'nt trust the police enough to look after asia's leaders when they had the summit in pattaya so he decided to make his own security arrangements, sure enough when all the trouble started the police were nowhere to be seen and his special commando's wearing all black even balaclavas and sunglasses(must have been very hot) made all the arrangements to ferry everyone to safety good bit of forward thinking by the pm i thought!

now, i was watching the news when the red shirt leaders gave themselves up at the police hq and sure enough the balaclava clad commando's were there again obviously in charge bossing the police around, and for a few seconds i knew why they were wearing balaclava's as one of them pulled it over his head to reveal he was a farang! so the primeminister has to hire farang security to protect him from thai people? how ironic that the same people who are protecting him he makes life so hard for in thailand!

Love to see that oficially confirmed/denied. By the way, I think you'll find it was the chappie flitting around the world trying to find a home and passport is the one who was behind making life so hard in Thailand for "Farang."

Surely there are local metalworkers who could make one to your exact spec in your area? We certainly have plenty of talented guys in Pattaya/Jomtien who'll make up all manner of chromed accessories for your bike without having to pay extra for the name.

Actually you can do what you like with it...... it's only a snapshot but I enjoy it!

But "curb" has nothing to do with the side of the road, so why would they "prefer" to learn something that is incorrect?

Actually I've just Googled it and realise "curb" is used by our friends over t'other side of the pond to describe a "kerb"......... how strange. I'll have to curb my enthusiasm for replying too quickly.

Harley style!

A Little 10-year-old girl was walking home, alone, from school one day, when a big man on a black motorcycle pulls up beside her. After following along for a while, turns to her and asks,

"Hey there little girl, do you want to go for a ride?"

"NO!" says the little girl as she keeps on walking.

The motorcyclist again pulls up beside her and asks,

"Hey little girl, I will give you $10 if you hop on the back."

"NO!" says the little girl as she hurries down the street.

The motorcyclist pulls up beside the little girl again and says,

"Okay kid, my last offer! I'll give you 20 bucks and a big bag of candy if you will just hop on the back of my bike and we will go for a ride."

Finally, the little girl stops and turns towards him and screams out...

"Look Dad, you're the one who bought the Honda instead of the Harley"!

"YOU RIDE IT!!"

Or Google it! I always used to use Red Baron (Min Buri?) but there are Bkk residents on this forum with much more up-to-date info than mine.

TiT...... I'm suprised at anyone really expecting this place to gear up for work again till Monday 20th.

Not a Bkk resident myself..... I'm from just down the road on the Eastern Seaboard AKA "the worst place to live in LOS for a biker who likes to tour" and I'm sure the guys who do live in Bkk will be on this thread like a veteran on a farm fresh in Cowboy, but you are blessed with day trips to Pattaya, Khao Yai, Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi and Hua Hin. Enjoy.

BTW, great biking sub-forum this........ everyone seems to get along, regardless of sports, dirt or touring biking.

Used to love the Thai joints in between Klang and South on S'vit, and those tucked down the little side soi's off SCC road many, many moons ago! Used to go with a Thai BiB pal....... him sitting there all cool in his Raybans! dam_n, the girls were hungry then!

Thailand is like a tried and tested old tart you just cannot stop yourself going back to........ she may not be as pretty or exciting as she was 20 years ago, but she still has that something that beats all the others in the area hands down!

I love her but she slays me sometimes!

heres a nice exile bike from the guys from red garage in malaysia .picture taken at burapa bike week 09....bike is for sale too

Bloody 'ell that's a Panhead no? Got any more pics?

Bloody 'ell, what happened to the old way of putting the bottle in a pan of water on the hob, then squirting it in your own mouth to check the temp? Probably even easier with these Thai water heater kettle like things that don't boil. Aren't you supposed to stick your elbow in it or something?

(Sorry, no, I don't know where you buy them, but if anywhere it's going to be a superstore in Bkk where the pretty people go!)

Where is this article from? I need the source of the article. The newspaper it came from. It seem more of an editorial than a straight news story. I am not saying that it is not true. I remember the stories that Thailand had secret U.S. C.I.A. prisons holding muslim extremists and that turned out to be bumpkus.
