Awesome, intially it was supposed to be on the 13th/14th (14th is a public holiday)..... now it is on the 14th/15th I can do both days !!!

I have experimented a bit between 95 gasohol and benzin, but at the end I get no better mileage or HP, so now I just use gasohol.

However, since I leave and park my car 2 month at the time, I do fill the last tank with gasoline, to avoid any corrosion from the water in the gasohol.

you cannot mix water with motor spirit, it is probably condensation from a half empty/fulll tank

Errrr ethanol blended fuels (gasohol) are hygroscopic. If there is any moisture/condensation in the tank it will be absorbed by the fuel.

Ex Aussie prime minister Bob Hawke's record of sculling a yard glass in under 12 seconds.

Getting a CC from K bank was about as much fun as walking across a bed of hot coals what with the 7 or 8 visits to the bank and innumerable calls to the customer service center. I was able to finally get one for both me and the wife without a WP by putting 50K THB in a fixed account.

While I'm OK to leave the fixed deposit with them if I wanted to move it for any reason I think I'd simply try to get an automatic CC payment set up linked to my savings account. I can't imagine why that wouldn't work.

Really ?

I went twice. first time to drop off the required paperwork and the second to sign for my card, maybe unsecured cards are easier to obtain.

NiCads are old school. LiPo is where it is at these days. be careful with the charging though. (google RC Lipo explosions).

I pay extra for the benzine as my bike simply will not run smoothly on gasohol.

the colorado 3.0 engine changed late 2004 to the commonrail. it is the better engine.

deposit will be released when "credit" card is cancelled.

certainly threaten to call the plod

Take their clothes?

What would the op do with dirty smelly backpacker clothes ?

A vibration is a vibration. if your are implying that I interpret a noise for a vibration you really need to start barking up another tree as iam not the idiot you are implying Iam.

the "vibration" was there from the get go and still there after the subsequent book services...... the give a shit factor is low though as it a cheap mode of transport and is considered as such.

the rattles from the front end/head light plastics drives me nuts though.

yes the 125i. mine is an early model (bought first week of release).

mine has a bit of vibration from a cold standing start but just give it a decent hit off throttle and all is good.

To be honest the difference between the 2 from a seat of the pants comparison is negligible.

125 is a fair bit bigger than the 110.

Here's my 2 side by side.

And the 125i is much stronger - isn´t it ?

stronger as in power ?

125 is a fair bit bigger than the 110.

That's just the fairing; an important structural difference instead is the introduction of a rear axle swing arm, as opposed to transmission casing support only.

No it is not just the fairing.

on the 110 I can sit with both feet flat footed. on the 125 I cannot.

125 is a fair bit bigger than the 110.

Here's my 2 side by side.

Call Bubi at Thai Hot Rod (he is out on the 36) 0813403184, he will sandblast furniture.

Hi Spoonman,

Have called Bubi, and he quotes between 1.500 and 2.000 Baht per chair. My wife nearly fainted.

Thanks anyway, and for others that might be interested a good tip.

Yermanee

you are already 1.5 days into sanding a single chair and it is still not done to a suitable level and by your own admission you cannot get into the nooks and crannies.

Spend the coin on getting it blasted or be happy with the <deleted> result from sanding.

Up to you.

Wow did I hit a nerve ?

I did thank you and I did say the nooks and crannies slowed the sanding process but I didn't say I couldn't get into them.

Anyway I've just finished the second chair and I can tell you it's not a shit result as a matter of fact they look gorgeous.

Yermanee

wow you can work quick.

1.5 days to partially finish one chair and then go asking for sandblasters yet a day later you have 2 completely done.

awesome stuff.

I met my lady at a 7/11.

Where does it say anywhere that he was drunk?

It doesn,t ,but the fact remains that this city is partyland, as the song says, One night in Bangkok can make a hard man crumble, or is it humble. Either way its a city to get down, with the get down.

It's actually "stumble"

It is Humble.

allan. what fuel are you using ?

from my SR thread you know I had issues and purchased new coil/cdi/rectifier but to no avail.

I put 95 benzine in it for the run the Ban Seang on the weekend and it ran fine. Because of small tank I had to fill up to come home and all I could find was gasahol and the "miss" returned.

Yet another fascinating revelation from swissie on yet another subject that

he knows absolutely nothing about, what a

I will try to make it as simple as I possibly can:

"Buy low and sell high". This magic formula goes for currencies. potatoes, Pork-Bellies and cucumbers if you will.

Of course, as rumor has it, some sophisticated Farang Investors have bought "high" and now selling for "low" around Phuket. I am confident, that you are not one of them.

Cheers.

Buy low sell high, what an interesting concept. Do you have a newsletter I could subscribe to ?

I thought mine @ Bt.3800 to be a reasonable price.

Mine is the same, I paid 3100 baht. Catalogue special. Thai Watsadu do have specials. I bought a 7" Makita angle grind there the other week which was a thousand cheaper than anywhere else. They have 4" Hitachi angle grinders at the mo for 1100 baht. I paid 1990 baht for the same at Thai Watsadu in Phitsanulok 18 months ago. You win some and you loose some!

Hardware House house has 4" Hitachi grinders for Bt.919 at the moment.

I piggy back an outlet from the light circuit as I found an outlet in my box of bits. was quicker than a hard wire and simply plugged fan into it.

What is thai for "Fan Only"...... would hate for someone to plug into a non "Fan Only" GPO and become dead...although they would need a 7 ft ladder to do so after they ignored the 4 other GPO's nearby.
