    ASH Thailand says e-cigarette is harmful to health

    in Thailand News

    Posted

    Taken from the original article...

     

    Quote

    In addition, scientists also found that those vaping e-cigarettes have tendency to turn to conventional smoking.

    Taken from the UK Gov...

     

    Quote

    there is no evidence so far that e-cigarettes are acting as a route into smoking for children or non-smokers

    I think I would rather trust the UK’s NHS and the Governments word than our dear Professor  :mad:

    Triumph Bonneville T100 vs. Ducati Monster 797 - Experiences

    I brought the Street Twin...the T100 hadn't been released at the time, I sat on both, the ST and the T120, for where I live I didn't need either the extra power or the weight. So far I've been impressed with the aftercare from Britbike...I bought the bike in Bangkok but have been using Phuket for servicing etc.

     

    Couple of pic's, one in Island mode and the other in touring mode...

    What was it that anyone here got because you just had to have it. ?

    For me it was the RD350LC...I was totally possessed with it! I think it was about six months from when it was first unveiled at the Tokyo show until being released in the UK...I saved like crazy, I stopped drinking except on a Sunday lunchtime, I did every single bit of overtime I could get my hands on...and it was all worth it!

    I think you're on about the water cooled RD 350 LC.

    Yeah, chalk and cheese...I went from a RD350B to a RD350LC. I had the first one in the town I lived in and had been saving like crazy from the moment I first saw it mentioned in MCN. On the first ones the fueling was all to hell and wouldn't pull into the power band without you dropping a gear, if you messed up and dropped two by accident the front wheel would go skywards instantly...and if you hit the front brakes a bit hard the back wheel went skywards...I was in love with that bike the moment I rode it out of the dealers

     

    After the Yam 350's I went on to XS1100 Yam's...these had some quirky handling characteristics to say the least, but after getting used to LC's not a problem LOL

    Very similar to your Garelli (sure it was a Garelli rather than a Gilera). Top of the 50cc 50mph club they were.

    It was definitely a Gilera...it had the RS barrel and would just about hit 50mph if there wasn't a hill or head wind LOL 

     

    After I passed my test I traded the GT250 in for a Yam RD350, I loved that bike and kept it for about three years until the RD350LC came along...the first road legal nutters tool...I had two of them...gawd knows how I'm still here after two LC's

    1976 legally on the road. 16 years old and limited to a 50cc moped.

    Green behind the ears, knew nothing except drinking, fighting, and... that a powered 2 wheeler with an engine was a helluva lot of fun and i could get to places my bicycle could'nt.

    Have never had a year without a motorcycle. 

    They were my life, are my life and always will be my life.

    We must be the same age then...I can still remember the summers of 76 and 77...76 I was on my Gilera moped and then 77 I had a Suzuki GT250...longest I've been without a bike since then was a year

    He simply went to the Kawasaki dealer and priced up all brand new parts - not a price to have them repaired.

     

    As others have said...I wouldn't want repaired parts on my new bike either...just thank your lucky stars it wasn't a Triumph tank...there're 40,000 Baht

    crf 250l clutch/gearbox issue

    I keep telling you - I didn't use a judder spring

    I'm not saying you did...all I'm saying is that the CBR250R doesn't use a judder spring and the CBR300R does.

     

    And while we're on the subject...

     

    There is a judder spring in the following models:

    • CRF230L

    • CRF250L/M

    • CBR300R

    • CB300F

    • CB500X

    • NC700X

    • CRF450R

    • CRF250X

    • CRF250R

    There isn't a judder spring in these models:

    • CBR250R

    • CB500F

    • XR650L

    • CRF450X

    • GROM 125

    So what determines which bikes get judder springs and which don't in Mr Honda's eyes
