    Good on you, you will find your reduction in nicotine is just in your mind.

     

    I was a heavy smoker up until 3 years ago when i switched to vaping.

     

    At that stage i still had very little understanding of e juice or much else for that matter.

     

    I really loved horny flava, so stuck with it. Without realizing for at least 1.5-2 years that horny flava i was vaping was in fact 0 nicotine.

     

    Point is, get yourself 0 nic juice now and you will not even know  if you vaping nic free or not. ????

    So you decided to take a lung substance without doing your research or even looking at at the bottles you bought for 1.5-2 years.

     

    Priceless.

  2. Hi

    Tried to do my retirement extension yesterday at bkk immigration and was refused. I had done a stat dec witnessed by the Australian embassy stating my income from investments in australia which exceeds the 65kBaht requirement. I have had over 600kBaht in k bank here well over three months.

    The officer had a problem with the stat dec but could not explain what the problem was.

    Does anyone have a link to a sample income stat dec. I'm not on a pension, just my own investment income.

    Also, are they looking for a letter from the embassy or a stat sec done by me.

    I did exactly the same last year and got my extension so don't know what's changed this year.

    Thanks

  3. A few months ago stayed at some 'on water" cabins near Hellfire pass...awesome position but the water flowing through there was quite polluted with lots of "brown foamy" stuff on the surface. As we like to swim, not that appealing. Does anyone know a place up-river in the general area where it is not so polluted? Plan to ride that way and avoid the pandemonium in Bangkok.

  4. Wondered if anyone else has this issue.

    There are a large number of very small black spots starting to appear on the white surface of the speedo dial. They are easy to miss as quite small. Will post a pic later but in the meantime might pay to take a look at yours. ER6N Abs delivered Sept 09.

  5. Thanks for the tips Tony. FYI the N97 is AGPS in that it has inbuilt PS receiver and also uses the network to assist locstion. Still <deleted>. I'm back in Sydney next week and can pick up a C60xs for A$449 plus 60 for the mount from a place called Johhny Appleseed. Seems the prices for them in BKK are outrageous.

    Didnt think to tell the dealer what oil to use. Asked him when I picked it up. dam_n.....

  6. There was a little discussion about oils here a while back and someone wanted a pic of the oil container used by the Phuket kawa guys. Had my new ER6N abs serviced by them recently and have attached a pic of the bottle. Picked up the bike the same week my mates were flying in from OS to head to Chiang Mai for a few days riding so decided to get on the pi$$ with them instead of riding up to Chiang Mai while they flew..so organised some ER6 from Pops in CM. Lobbed up on the Saturday and he has four brand new ER6N and F abs with 3 kilometres on them. Unbelievable. Off we headed to Chaing Rai and another ride to a place called Samoeng ?? (I think). Awesome bike roads as you probably all know. Will take mine back soon.

    Came back to Bangkok and took mine down to Phuket which was kind of boring and at times very wet. Got clobbered a few times but as they say, the worst day riding is better than the best day working. Got it serviced in Phuket. on the way back stayed at Ban Ta Khun, Chumpon and Prachuan Kiri Khan. Prachuan is a cute town and want to go back there as well and spend a night on a fishing boat, should be interesting.

    Before I headed to Phuket, got panniers and top box fitted at Dr Bike. They did a great job and compared to Aus prices, cheap as chips. Might look like the pizza guy but my gf is happy.

    I have a couple of questions for the more experienced in here and hopefully you can help.

    1- Am using a Nokia N97 and have tried both a hacked copy of Garmin Mobile XT which was <deleted> and also the Nokia maps and directions. Accuracy on the N97 is crap and i find it useless for navigation where streets are 5 metres apart and the N97 accuracy is 50m+. Tells me to take too many premature turns and cant telll if I'm on an elevated road or the road next to it. Have been in many circles using it. What can you guys suggest from experience? I'm finding it a little frustrating and find the bangkok roads intimidating at the best of times.

    2- In Sydney I own an R1200GS and a Rocket III, both shaft drive. I'm not experienced with chains and wonder what i need to use. Someone mentioned "blue stuff". Any clues on where to get it?

    3- Have to say that washing the little bugger is finnicky. Want to put an extended flap on the front and something a bit bigger than the hugger on the back. Any suggestions on where to buy in bangkok? I am staying in Pink Lao at the moment.

    4- Does anyone have english manuals yet. Kawa Rama 9 are unable to let me know when one will be available.

    Have to say I find the bike awesome for a sports tourer. it's easy to fall in love with them, maybe because they are thai (-:
