eeeya

I had problems with mine loading the capsules onto the spike. I googled the symptoms and found the problem and the method to fix it..was just a latch that had come off its mount.

I have this Korean streaming also when ever I turn on the TV. Wow.. annoying is an understatement.

I cant seem to remove it either. The broadcasting tab is blacked out on mine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated greatly!

i go for annual at samitivej sukhumvit every year. Sit in a box and push the button when you hear the sound.

Agree that apart from the expensive imported stuff, beef at Makro is garbage, and I've also stopped buying it. When I want red meat, I buy frozen NZ lamb now as it can actually be cheaper than the awful Thai beef.

Ive poked around at those frozen NZ steaks in the freezer while shopping but never bought. Any good?

I bought an under tail style licence plate like in your photo. It came with 2 led blinkers and nice easy connect wiring. Think it cost me about 1900 baht delivered.

When it arrived i fitted it that night. Nice easy job and damn it looked good compared to the stock mount.

The next day i go for a ride less than 1km from home, get pulled into a police checkpoint and fined 200 baht. Im directed by the police officer to go to the station at the next intersection then come back to him and receive my license back.

So i do just that and ride back to him and i get pulled in by another policemen and he tries to fine me again but im waving the fine notice at him saying i got done already thanks.

Got my licence back, ride back home and throw the <deleted> thing in the bin.

As a fellow Ducati owner, the three week wait just to get it to the shop and then usually another 3-6 weeks waiting for parts just comes with the territory of owning a Ducati along with the extreme heat riding in stop-and-go traffic. Still I've had my Diavel 2-1/2 years now and a Monster before that so what can I say, I still love riding them .

And as much as I complain about Ducati, I also still love riding the Scrambler and do it whenever I can.

For Honda scooter about 1200 Baht, Vespa a bit more expensive, for Ducati ???

Found a thai distributor recently, 5.5k THB. $150 plus import duty if ordering directly from manufacturer.

Which branch is that? I normally get an appointment within a few days of calling them. Agree on the parts though, but that can happen on any big bike, even locally manufactured ones.

Re. the experience, I think it's the total package that makes them so appealing. A guy on another forum has a S1000RR and a Panigale. He says when he gets off the S1000RR he feels like he's just ridden a very capable bike from A to B. When he gets off the Ducati, he feels like he's just had sex

The maximum time I or a friend had to wait for parts via Honda and Kawasaki was a bit over a week and that was an exhaust ordered from Japan.

I do think you can run into longer timeframes bot on average, Ducati is much slower in that regard.

And regarding the experience: yep I fully agree. There's this emotional part.

Yamaha uses the slogan "the dark side of Japan" for their MT bikes. But I'd say Ducati bikes unlock "the dark side of YOU"

So far on mine I've chopped off the fender, changed the rear signals, added an Akrapovic slip-on (will be upgrading to fully system + controller soon), and added a windscreen (very nice difference), and a few other aesthetic small mods. It's a great bike for where I live, but I am getting the itch to get something bigger. Maybe a CBR650F in the future.

Never used it that site.

I tried to find a download able list of Thai poi's but couldnt find any.

OSM on Garmin Basecamp has plenty of pois

osm maps are full of poi's

what device are you using Garmin or Android?

my house had a serious heat issue even after installing foil backed insulation. Upstairs was unbearable and you would walk through a layer of heat as you came up the stairs.

After reading through posts on TV about reducing ambient inside temperature I used a multi pronged approach.

I installed 2 whirlybirds on the roof, 2 blower fans in the upstairs ceiling to suck hot air from the upstairs rooms into the roof cavity and increased outside roof ventilation to allow air into the roof cavity. Also used 3M film on the windows.

When asking for advice from the locals i got the usual "this is normal for thailand, people dont use upstairs in the day time." But I went in guns blazing and got it done after repeated pushing.

I originally had foil backed insulation only in the roof but daytime heat was still unbearable.

now the temperature of the upstairs level has dropped considerably. cost me about 20k all up.

Rainy season will be useful to prove everyone that whirlybirds dont leak (fingers crossed)

sell therm to rich saudi playboys

why not convert your money to diamonds. and just bring them in your pocket.

any tuk tuk should be able to direct you where to buy

I use these maps on both Basecamp on PC for planning trips and on locus app on my Android for GPS use.

Excellent maps full of POI's too.

"Another thread somewhere discusses cutting off the bottom of the stock muffler, installing a fat perforated tube and packing fiberglass around it, then welding everything shut. Gonna pass on that idea."

This is quite a popular idea in Bangkok for the CBR650F for those wanting to retain the exhaust underneath the bike instead of cutting off the stock muffler and putting on a slip on exhaust to the rear.

check google "bypass full system cb650F" for the shops which do this. cost is around 3500 baht and is quite popular. They will do it to any kind of stock muffler and the quality and reviews are quite good.

I plan on doing this to my 650 soon rather than the slip on.

ok thanks.. FIL has a few R69s, R27. Hopefully we can make it if work doesnt get in the way

If you have a classic and want to join in for a day, how to do?

Im looking for a new car for the family. Can anyone tell me if you can fit a big 2 piece stroller into the boot and have much room to spare?

Saw the battery water bottles today at a shell station when I was filling up. In the oil display cabinet

Man your embassy is a rip off. Australian embassy is 500 baht.

But I still feel your pain. I've had to do it many times at 500baht a pop

actions like this ruin it for the sporting shooter. Similar happened in Australia, a lady borrowed a gun and topped herself, from then on it was just harder for legitimate sporting ranges and clubs.

would be a nice feeling to have some job security back. Hope it goes up

im no electrician, but i had a wire come loose in my breaker box and the whole house would start flashing like a christmas tree every now and then.

happened a few times before i checked the box and one of the wires needed tightening up.

Slack adjusters too far out. Even if the line is cut or no air pressure to the brakes, it only works if the shoes are close enough to apply friction

More to do with modern day ideas and training....

Back in my day of training, going down hill or even slowing down, there were gears and you used them...... so drivers changing down maybe these older truck would be better off in a lower gear, even new ones for that matter..

Modern day training is use the brakes even good brake maintenance is often not up to the job of long distance of foot on brake, do they exhauster here ? or magnet prop brakes ? or just rely on the brake drums ?

That style of jap truck just has a flapper valve over the exhaust restricting the flow (no not the rain cap). does pretty little. Most likely wrong gear, brakes out of adjustment and overheated.

Ive been there in my junior truck driving days ..bottom of a hill, sailing though a set of red lights with brakes mashed to the floor, hand firmly pulling the horn.

If you survive that one you certainly learn to use engine braking in lower gears and save heating up your brakes.

Lower gear is certainly still taught in Oz at least.

Cb650F 2016, but I really want a pcx150
