Manufactures for the 2023 season... Aprilia Ducati GASGAS Honda Yamaha KTM The only guy who can ride the Honda is Marc...and it wouldn't surprise me if he jumped to Ducati if Honda can't deliver the bike he wants this season

Fair enough, I don't think either of us wants to hijack Chris's thread. But on a side note (nothing to do with sealant), not all punctures are catastrophic... I rode home 20km with a lump of rebar stuck in my rear tyre...

It will work in tubed tyres, I actually have one of the ones shown in the vid (and yes I read up on it before I purchased the kit), but it's better to use it before you get a flat so that the tube failure that Chris experienced can't happen. For the riding that Chris does a tyre mousse would be good, but I very much doubt they do them in the size he requires.

Hi Chris, maybe it's time to start running with some sealant in your tubes? A good vid by Fort Nine on the top three...

The peak on my Fox is held on by magnets (fairly strong ones), so does come off quite easily (it's a safety thing)

An Enduro style helmet is another option...you get plenty of air plus the protection of a full face. I wear shades with mine (Fox) and there's plenty of room on the sides for the sunglasses, something I haven't found very often with full face helmets.

Prasut Big Bike in Kathu...they have a very good selection of all the major brands, three of us have bought helmets there, two HJC and one MT (mine) https://goo.gl/maps/DHDibFP97DDW3jRR6

Your call, Baht 50k and call it new, with no niggling worries, or have it straightened...without seeing pic's I can't say one way or other.

And I will be leaving Phuket on the morning of the 19th...perfect timing ????

That's the fork legs, not the frame...yeah go ahead and have them straightened, no worries. But they're cheap so just as well buy new ones

I just did a quick search, and you're looking at about Baht 50k for the frame...I don't know the year of your bike, but it seems it was used from 2009 up to at least 2017

I'm pretty sure the headstock section of the frame is ali

Just walk in...and have your passport with you

My wife was due to come back tomorrow, but Seatran have told her sailings tomorrow will probably be cancelled as well

She was wearing a helmet, and was pillion, not riding it

Ignore him Chris, he's just a troll ????

That sucks mate, I've done my ribs a few times and it's not fun! I love your ride reports and photos...hope you get well enough to continue soon ????

9 times out of 10 you'll get on the next available ferry...use Seatran, not Raja ????

Tobacco Authority of Thailand (Thailand Tobacco Monopoly) Electronic cigarettes Electronic cigarettes have been outlawed in Thailand since 2014. In mid-2019, the prime minister reaffirmed his pledge to keep e-cigarettes banned. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said that, "...the government cannot simply consider the economic impact...E-cigarettes will impact people's health and place an extra burden on the country's health-care budget". He went on to say that the Public Health Ministry should work harder to educate the public on the health effects of vaping, while officials should crack down further on the illegal sale of e-cigarettes.

I used to see them every evening, 100's of them, they used to fly over our house at dusk from Five Islands at go up into the hills on Samui to feed on the fruit. I remember one poor guy posting on here asking how to clean bat poo off this sandwash around his pool. he was on their flight path off the island and used to get bombed regularly.

For some reason Samui immigration don't like giving out Non-O's...my friend had exactly the same problem there a few months ago, he did end up with his Non-O, but it took quite a bit of persistence. It was eventually resolved when he got to speak to the boss lady in the left hand side office. The counter staff flat out refused and told him the same as you. He had letters from Bangkok immigration, and Surat Thani immigration telling Samui to issue the visa, but they still resisted, it wasn't until he got to speak to the boss that it was resolved and he got his Non-O
