Actually a simple solution is turn off the quote BBCode Mode switch

Then it is back to the old TV style quoting & easy to work with

When you go to reply just click the first button that looks like a light switch in

the upper left panel of the reply box.

Try it you will like it & it is much easier.

You can still click it back on mid reply if you want to use BBCode features

The staff at Starbucks are more professional than immigration staff and they are only serving coffee.

If immigration was legally allowed to get tips they may be more professional and friendlier also. Financial incentives can do wonders to ones demeanor.

I would have to say I have seen that working & yes it does work

Whether or not legal who knows?

Another thing they could try is, since the head guy there seems like a forward thinker having read his article awhile back.

They say they are down on manpower yet cannot hire as only BK can &... many here seem very sympathetic ......maybe a few falang volunteers?

heheheh I can see it now.......

One hall monitor stationed outside to keep the rabble in line & hand out numbers

A couple more inside before the counter calling numbers & pre-checking paper work is in order. Before allowing them to approach the counter

Another couple running back & forth between the back & front desks toting papers & making sure the falangs got their 90 days, visa ext stamps,

etc. all back ASAP

hmmmm?

Yes springs are not too pricey & make a big difference if needed.

I have bought from them many years maybe decades? ago actually for MX bikes:)

They also sell other things like emulators etc.

Their site is full of interesting reading if you ever want to look.

Also here is a great older article quoted from their book

http://www.racetech.com/page/title/Emulators-How%20They%20Work

(To Thaivisa: Why do you inform us AFTER we have replied to more than one post in our one post that too many blocks of text exist, thus disallowing our ALREADY written replies? Frankly speaking, it's a stupid way of doing things. It wastes our time, effort and purposes. So why do you confound us in this mutilating way?! )

I think they do it to show you how we all feel having to wade thru tons of quotes we have already read wasting "our" time.

Kidding Aside, the simple fix when instructed as you were is to just hit back on your browser & then backspace a quote or two out.

In that case "you" have not wasted anytime since your post is usually still there.

You really only need quote the one line, if possible, your replying to.

UG's post #421 right above yours is a perfect example.

How much they ask mania?

They run $115 so about 3500 Thai Baht

But I have not heard what the shipping via USPS Priority Air mail is yet

Practice at Mugello looked good.

Marc had another get off & this one was at a pretty high clip.

Seems to be ok though.

Was looking at the Kbank 3.2% but it was a step up account.

Step up account still mean 3.2% for the term. Just need to look at how long have to lock in for is it 1 year or longer.

I dont think so,

I have not looked at this one specifically but,

Many times a bank will advertise the highest the rate will reach but once averaged out

for the time span you see the true net result is always less.

That's only true where the highest stepped rate is something like 7% hence that's what gets used for advertising, in this case the product is almost certainly a 3.2% product.

Anyone have a link? I did not see any info on their site

In their rate list they mention only this but no details

Rate Flexible Fixed Deposit 14 Months Deposits from Baht 0.01 million and above 3.20 3.20

Mania the springs will be custom to your weight and riding style. I wouldnt even waste time looking here as you will never get proper info. Race tech is a well known company and competent.

Yes I used their calculation & agree they have been around forever & are well regarded.

Maybe check that they have put the correct weight and amount of oil in the forks first..

I recently had my Cbr250 done. New fork seals (old ones blown) and 15wt (may have been 10wt) fork oil.... Wow what a difference.

The standard oil on the Thai 250's is shockingly lightweight (2011 model) .

That is usually a good option if your close on spring rate.

But I know this one is not & have already spaced the springs down a good 2"

It is still too soft so no change in oil weight will make that better.

This is generally known about the small ninja too so most folks just change them out

some add the valve emulators too. But for me the springs will be fine enough.

I don't know LL

all I have ever seen here is Hyper Pro kits which is usually front springs & a back shock.

They call it their street box

I dont need anything drastic just some firmer springs for front.

Back shock is fine for this bike.

I have an email in to Race Tech with the springs I want.

Will see what they quote for shipping & if it can come USPS

which will usually bypass customs charges on smaller packages

I remember reading a post someone here had bought a set...

I wanted to order a set & wondered if they are available in Thailand at all?

If not I will order from the US but thought I would ask first

Thanks if you have any info

KRS1 Pekky across Kad Seu Kaw is now renting all three Honda 500 models.

They also are running a special.

I think it is 999 a day.........

Maybe you can swing a deal for 4 hours on each model?

They are not renting as most folks dont know they rent bikes yet

There is not a lot of engine braking on the Honda 500's unless you downshift and don't slip the rear tire. No slipper clutch so actually very easy to do if you get overly aggressive in your downshifting ...

Agree with the rest..

Well the 2013 250 Ninja I have does not have the slipper clutch.

But as a byproduct of an engine that likes to run in the 9-12k rpm range

engine braking is plentiful.

Does make for nice spirited rides through mountain twisties as your mainly just

working gears & using throttle control to modulate speed & use engine braking as needed

I personally like bikes that you don't have to rev to the moon to get them to go, especially in city driving, low end torque at a low RPM is nice, they are easier to drive, my opinion of course this being said I am certain the Kawa is fun but its not for me.

This is the thing

Both good bikes....Both different bikes with different characteristics.

Both suit needs & both will be very popular

Thais part did make me laugh out loud though

but the two-piston Nissin up front can put the CBR on its nose easily—abetted by very good ABS.

We think the Ninja’s brakes will do the same thing, but you use them so seldom that we can’t really remember.

Only because it is so true. There is so much engine braking available you really do not touch the brakes in

the twisties unless you want a full stop

Where can I get my hands on a 13T sprocket in bkk?

Motorcyclist did a compare between Ninja 300 & Honda 500

Honda CBR500R vs. Kawasaki Ninja 300 | Batting 500

Not a bad review, I think it's pretty fair in regards to what the Honda 500 series is all about. Easy riding, decent power well priced bike - not a racer but not a scooter either.

Too damn hot for too damn long this summer. The absolute worse that I've felt in the 12 summers i've been here. The past summers it at least cooled down at night, but not this year. give us a break please!!

The humidity is the highest I can recall in the last 6 years. Been miserable. A/C running day and night, about 20/7.

This being our first full year here.

Hearing that it seems extra hot to the long timers gives me hope of a cooler hot season next year

Today was the kind of hot that comes right before a thunderstorm

That sure was a fast strong winded thunderstorm though.

I think it took about 20 minutes total

It makes doing basic maintenance a hell of a lot easier. I'll be doing some front suspension work when I get back. It also means fitting the wheel kit so I can move the bike out of the road of my new benches being made.

I so miss a work space

Dont get me wrong condo life has a couple good points ( not many )

But having a workspace is like heaven & even just being able to sit around & tinker

Instead I usually cover my bike here because of the group parking. So only even see it when I take it for a ride.
