And the government wants to open up all schools?

My daughter had her Pfizer jab today, and I think by the end of the month most kids on Samui should have been done (unless their parents ruled against it), so yeah, let the schools open...Covid isn't going to go away anytime soon

38 cases at Bhavana Bodhigun Vocational College (Namuang) today...????

Must be in training for a Bonneville Salt Flats attempt

There’s no denying the power of the black-and-white image—a man clad in swim trunks and sneakers lying  at across a speeding motorcycle, his head down and his feet dangling far past the back wheel.

 

The man was Rollie Free, and the 1948 picture shows him setting the American motorcycle land-speed record of 150 mph

Only just. ????

I know it's on the limit...but the bike spends 80% of it's time off-road and I hardly ever ride it thru town. It's a 2013 so has been tested quite a few times and I've never been pulled up about it ????

i'm assuming you're in the "loud pipes save lives" gang ??

Not really, none of my bikes have loud pipes...the loudest is probably the CRF, it's got a genuine Yoshimura system on it, along with an EJK and modded air-box (stage #1 mods) so that it actually runs properly now...it's road legal at 95dB. The early CRF's (up to about 2017) ran really lean.

I don't have a problem with loud pipes, mainly because I was young once and remember what it was all about...the sound of a RD350 on cans is a truly beautiful sound, not to all, granted, but to me, yes! At least a loud bike has passed and gone in a few seconds...unlike dogs who bark for hours on end ????

Changing exhaust systems used to be easy, on modern bikes not so...most now have catalytic converters and sealed ECU's so unless you know what you're doing you will do more harm than good.

If you don't get the idea of modifying your ride then you're not really biker at heart...hence my comment about Facebook 'bike groups' ...as someone's signature on here says...

Panyadee Covid tests? Not to my, and my child's, knowledge, but parents and guardians got letters from the school about both the ISS- and the Winfield-outbreak, and to check the children - and/or grownups - if the have been close to anyone from these schools.

 

I've just had it clarified, the ones that have been tested recently (PCR test) at Panyadee have siblings either at Winfield or Oonrak

So are both ISS and Windfield now closed ?

ISS is closed for half-term and should reopen on the 18th, not sure about Windfield.

On a side note, I heard yesterday that students at Panyadee and Oonrak were being tested

But... I felt it needed a little more ‘grunt’ - a 300cc would have been excellent. 

They do a 750 version...and allegedly a 300cc version is on it's way

This is the 750, The Honda X-ADV...

I have been told that the school is closing for 14 days. Not from Jeremy but from one of the teachers.

Yes that's true, as soon as the first cases came to light they brought forward the half-term holiday by a couple of weeks

So if Triumphs in Thailand have this exhaust will it have the TIS thingy stamp on it,  I don't see why it should because it would be better than anything that Thailand could produce.??

If they do have the TIS thingy stamp it's very well hidden coz I've never seen it ????
