Fair call it's just younger people telling me I'm crazy if I'm riding a motorbike at 85 is their opinion nothing more, as said many times know your limitations. I won't do 270kph like i do sometimes now. ????

Boxing and martial arts fighting has nothing to do with riding a motorbike or driving a car/truck. What's wrong with you.

Stupid agest thing to post age doesn't mean you have to stop doing what you love to do. You opinion is for plonkers IMHO enjoy your life whatever the risks.

Yep my pub in Muang Kao 3 large bottles of Chang beers a pack of Lays Max crisps a large load of white bread, 4 babacued pork balls and 4 fish balls. 226 baht. Ride home no helmet luv it.

Maybe you would think that. Again negative thoughts.

Fair call but riding my bike is my plan, of course tiMe will tell but I don't like to think negative. Met a guy on a Bm boxer years ago in Germany he was 86. Follow him on the autobaan he was was spot on, you wouldn't say he was a bad rider. ????????

Ride my bike on bike trips.

A patriot I guess.

To some people tyres are rocket science, pretty sad really a bit of reading would solve it.

It's not too bad there's more food banks set up now. Lots of railway arches at free vacancies.

Mine came with a bag, o either use that or ask reception anywhere to take care 20baht works wonders if they except it.

The thing is how long do people keep their motors now, theysn be abused and you wouldn't know if the motors kept tidy.

All my family and friends UK congratulate me for leaving UK to live in Thailand and a few of them are planning on doing the same. Horses for courses I guess.

Nah ICU not conscious last legs Mrs under instruction to put me in the freezer. ????

Yep paid 1,700 for medical care today next appointment check up 4 months.

Whatever the circumstances buying a bike in Thailand without a Green book will lead to it being g confiscated if you ride on the road and you get stopped by the police.

That's not the true, in my Mrs unfurnished appartments a deposit is usually to keep in lieu of payment of unpaid bills of electric or water or any damages to electric, water and toilet accessories, walls, windows, doors. I'm always having to fix something in my Mrs appartments when tenants leave.

That's because you had a oridginal home DL when getting a Thai DL I'd expect. To get someone else to take a driving test for you is obviously illegal and no-one should encourage anyone to do it for many reasons, safety being one. Should be banned IMHO.

Larger wheel you want Wave OK, test ride and practice somewhere quiet, semi auto easy, front pedal N, 1,2,3,4, back pedal 3,2,1,N if you have not riden for a while. If you can't ride a Wave you shouldn't be riding.????

Leave thoughts of back home behind when entering Thailand.

The new Triumph m/c's from what I know is run in via the Ecu not the rider. Other than racing engines I know of no car engine that's bench run in other within the development of a new engine. Driving a new motor I would say it's being bedded in IMO. ????

Done to death excuse the pun. Pollution depends some on where you live in Thailand.

Thanks it's hard work when Farangies involved even harder. Maybe the best ever you could call it a way of life. ????????

There no pre-run brake in as such engines are engineered to percifit specs so that running the engine from new is still much the same as running a used engine from cold or after a a long run, some people care most don't. The the run of mill is still much the the same here's BM's recommendations. Doing an engine break-in used to be a standard procedure with new cars. And it’s still the case that you should avoid running the engine at high RPM for the first 1,300 miles. Experts recommend a maximum 3,500 rpm and 90 mph in diesel models and 4,500 rpm and 100 mph in gas models. This will give the engine and transmission sufficient time to adjust to each other. Once you’ve reached the 1,300-mile mark, you can gradually increase your speed and your engine’s RPM. In particular, avoid to put too much strain on a cold engine. However, that’s true not just when breaking in a new car but for the whole life cycle of your car. Likewise, never turn off an engine that has been running hard. Allow it to cool down by driving a few miles at a gentle pace.

These days with advanced engines and advanced oils a new car, new truck change the oil at the the first service.
