40 hp for a 300 cc engine is cool!

mania is area p chip around the same price as pc5?

i am hopeful cbr500 might reach 50 rwhp with full system pipe, pc5, and a better flowing air filter - 20 k for pipe, 15 k for pc5 and 5 k for air filter totally 40 k - 45 k thb.

and with a weight reduction of 4 - 5 kg on top of extra power, it can be a much more better bike.

I think it is a little cheaper at $250 in the US

$55 shipping to Thailand so about 10-11k baht equivalent

Problem is they do not do the 500 Honda's yet

When they did the 300 they came on the forum & got a guy to leave his bike with them

a couple weeks for development. Then they gave him a new system + full exhaust & some other things

Lucky guy

I would tend to think 50hp should be possible with the Honda in any case.

I was disappointed they ( RLR Racing ) never got the bike ready in time for John McGuiness to use

at Isle Of Man this year as I was looking forward to see what they would do to a

CBR500 + with John on-board you know it was going to have as good a run as possible.

if he bought a benelli, that might be the reason why we are not hearing from him maybe!

Hope not on any bike in any case.

I know he use to organize long scooter rides up here too.

Anyway, hope he is ok

Almost should start a 2013 Ninja 250 mods thread but I dont think there are

many here who ride them except Macknife & I

I know a couple others like JonnyF also have a 250 though.

So will just use this older thread

I found a place in Bangkok called ego-racing

selling Hotbodies Dual Radius GP Windscreens

so tried one. Nice quality nice shape.

A little better protection but not much.

I only ever saw one other I liked but not for sale here

& that is the Zero Gravity Coras GP I think that one has a little better

tuck protection.

Will take actual pics later.

I have only phone pics now & poor quality

Here are some on their website

mania i think for your case, you have a good connection at area p.

did you order yours? and 40 rwhp is for ninja 300 right?

Yes ordered already & yes that 40 hp is the 300 results as that is what they have in USA

Suddenly my wife's right ankle is up almost to my shoulder

Should have made the most of that there and then

Opinions on taste of foods is a personal thing
I do not know why it is hard for some to understand not all folks like the same
tastes,styles etc.

I once said this was the best pizza "I" have had in CM
That is valid to "me" others of course may love it or hate it.
But all this other stuff is hard to understand.

Would be nice if folks could like something without being attacked.
Or others did not feel the need to tout a degree in cooking as a reason why they know best
what is the best for one & all.

I like it or I don't is all anyone can really say or needs to be said.

mehhhh

high purchase price but also high resale price though not on some motorbikes, more on cars.

Your right!

I forgot about that. Depreciation here is much less

It is bad... comparing to some civilized countries. :-D

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

Still the total cost of ownership is lower here then in the west.

You know I agree on the smaller bikes or Thai built larger

but all the imports at double price from US I am not too sure.

Everybody is always complaining in Thailand about the high price of vehicles here, seems its not so bad after all......

Yes I feel a bit better by comparison I guess

I was recently whining about prices here & a guy from Denmark told me this...

You should try living in Denmark:

R1 = $47,780

S 1000 RR = $49,922

1199 Panigale S = $83,314

ER-6f ABS = $20,527

Ninja 300 ABS = $11,501

I was posting this because he didn't know what it was but his description corresponds very closely to the ricotta. Also, it's fat free. ANd I beieve that somewhere in this thread there is a mention that the maker of the cheese was located in Hua Hin (I"m not going to look for it).

Thanks I was just curious as I had one of those pizza's & the cheese

was not as rich as the original mozzarella but still had a stretchiness to it.

I never had ricotta that stretched.

Not important as I said I was just curious as if it was ricotta I have never tasted

one like it.

I don't know & live in a condo myself

But this place may be able to help you

http://www.riderscorner.net/

While not the place to do the work they would surely know.

Also I bet they would be very interested in your trip.

While it is also a restaurant they also sell some things

This is also the place with the GT maps etc.

I always see BMW's there & they all look like heavy touring type riders.

Have been meaning to stop in myself.

I have also noticed some places I frequent

will charge a couple of points even if your using a BKB Debit card.

Not a charge card mind you a debit card.

I know credit cards do charge the merchant a percentage fee but I don't think

banks charge any fees for debits anymore than they did for accepting personal

checks in the US. Could be wrong but I was surprised to hear it.

I kind of wondered what happened to JeffreyMcCollum?

Has not logged on in over 2 months. I know he rode a lot by his posts

hope he is ok.

Also he had bought the new Benelli TNT600 so I was curious to hear how that went

I believe I have solved the mystery of what Mamma Mia was putting on its pizza: ricotta. And very good ricotta. It comes from a company called Da Casaro located in Hua Hin that makes real Italian style Ricotta which comes from whey. (In Italy the original ricotta came from sheep's whey but this is close enough). Because it's made from whey it's virtually fat free. Very delicate and delicious. But it really doesn't belong on a pizza.In New York, some places do sell what is called white pizza made with ricotta. I've never tried it.

Did he tell you this?

Tonight after picking my wife up at work & heading to dinner about 8pm on the

motorbike. Passed under the bridge at the end of Changklan where you come in off the highway

Suddenly my wife's right ankle is up almost to my shoulder & she is screaming.

Next thing I know there is red flashing lights behind me. I am asking What ! What!

Suddenly a cop on a bike with the flashing lights zooms alongside me & yells in

Lanna words...."What kind of snake was that!" at my wife.

She yells back she does not know but it scared the hell out of her

I cannot believe I did not see it but that is a crazy section of road where you

blend into that fork that allows other to get to the highway going in the Lampun direction

so I am watching cars from a few angles.

According to her it took up one whole lane & was also partially in ours & moving towards my

right side when the car in front of us ran over its body a foot or so behind its head.

She also claims it was as big around as my forearm

Never a dull moment

But when it was all happening it was total confusion with my wife's leg flying up

rocking the bike suddenly. Then the red flashing lights & a cop pulling alongside yelling words I did not recognize

heheheh

Asked my wife why didn't you yell snake or point or something? She said are you kidding I was too scared

I love it when people know something but not fully know the story, the truth is there is not FZ-09... The only thing Yamaha has introduced is a MT-09 sportsbike. Which is partly build in Thailand....

On my website you soon can find a full review of this motorcycle as we visited the new Yamaha factory in Thailand. The Yamaha MT-09 is the first motorcycle which involves Thailand in the export to the European Union. No plans from Yamaha to currently release this motorcycle on the Thai market as only 11,000 units are build.

Richard, have a look at post #2 on this thread which states exactly what you've just said and shows the same photo.

And if you're so knowledgeable, why not share your smarts about this bike with the folks in here who are keen to know instead of plugging your own site.

Richard has his own web site!

Where?

Yeah I agree about F1 soihok

But I meant GP at Assen & WSB at Imola
Well actually I see GP/Assen is the 29th & WSB/Imola the 30th so should be ok

I was watching F1 for a few years as I loved the technology & the sound of course.
But quite boring overall as two trains cannot pass on the same set of tracks most of the time.

actually a full system is what i need. but can get the pipe now and header later.

because power commander is released for cbr500r:clap2:

around 350 usd and this time it has an O2 eliminator means better tuning without strangling to ecu.

I was going to get that one for my bike as they are widely available even here

but the head of Area P offered to work remotely with me on various maps as they run a 300 there &

he wanted to see what the 250 can do. So I went that route.

Also seems he is very popular with ninja 300 guys. They are pulling just under 40hp now

with pipe/filter I guess they work jointly with

Fuel Moto & develop maps that are supposedly more individually tapered.

Will see I guess

Was today aswell at the Promenada, noticed a few things, no English signs at the foodcourt,

I noticed that too & thought it might make it tough for many.

I can read but it takes awhile

I did eat at the place furthest? in on the right.

They have a good steak in pork,chicken or fish...maybe beef too? but they have a pepper sauce on it.Very Tasty

It is served with fries a nice salad & a small side of sauteed carrots & cherry tomatoes.

I had the pork it was 89 baht & dang good + filling portion wise.

Prepared like a chef in a restaurant more than a food court so takes a lil while, maybe 10 minutes.

This place had sample plates of what they sell on the counter & they sell some interesting plates.

Spaghetti with carbonara sauce or white clam I think? Also pork chops, burgers a few things actually

Also have about 10 or more dressings available.

Quite good & I was pleasantly surprised.

It is not much of a page

So leaning towards a slip on then LL?

Bummer I was getting so use to watching WSB one weekend & GP the next.

Seems this is a dead weekend

Then next weekend they bump heads with each other

Just out of curiosity, did anyone ever explain why this new cheese was "healthy"?

With all due respect, was it "healthy" because it was "cheap"?

Low fat was the reason

But Low fat makes a bad melting cheese as it tends to foam rather than melt

Of course less fat always equals less taste

Folks use to say,

If you want to know what no fat taste like bite a piece of cardboard

These are off your 600?

Mania, my wife works in phayao and I go there very very often. What are you doing there? We should meet up sometimes for a cup of coffee or something.

Sure I will try to remember to pm you next time I plan to go & see if your up for coffee.

I do not go often as it is a 300+km round trip but I go because it is a nice

piece of road with a more open twisty section. That mountain right before Phayao

with the lookout point stop at the top is fun on both the up & down section.

Sometimes I do not go all the way into Phayao but turn at the bottom of that hill on the Phayao

side as the rest of the ride in is pretty flat/straight.Good for a bigger bike.

But that waterside by the lake is nice to visit too.

Sure I will try to remember to pm you next time I plan to go & see if your up for coffee.
