Speak for yourself p.broke...and let 'us guy's' decide for ourselves what 'we' like...

Remember flared trousers and how smart you felt in them at the time and years later you looked at photos of yourself......enough said.

stick me down on the fugly vote please.

i wouldn't be seen dead on one.

After almost a 3 year wait I have managed to purchase a unit in Baan Amphur. Still over 30 names eager to purchase. Not all condos are the rubbish you see in Jomtien or parts of BKK. Many are desirable and well sought after even if the mythical bubble bursts

so let me get this right.......there are 29 people on a waiting list to buy re-sale on a condo development and another bloke rocks up and is interested, only to be told that there is nothing available - but so desperate he adds his name to the list......

the place is so brilliant so no one ever sells and people towards the end of the list may never get a look in.....

if thats true, I'm a jam doughnut with cream on top.........

I actually saw one advertised at 12mSq in one of the developments.

My master bedroom en-suite is bigger than that. Much bigger than that. Couldn't imagine living in it though

bloke down our ways en suite is much larger than yours.......claims to have the largest on the estate...

Bloke no longer down our way lives in Gornal...and loves it apparently.....

I just want to know which airline is selling business class seats to UK for only 65k Baht ?

I usually fly Emirates and they haven't been less than 100k for 6 or more years.

A quick glance at Skyscanner should bring up the 65KB tickets (priced in GBP). Also tickets at 75KB (equiv) with another airline. I had no problem.

I have also seen Emirates and Qatar and Etihad at under 80KB (equiv) from time to time, but never at a time when I actually wanted to buy a ticket.

Let it go KK, let it go..........

Bloke down our way's missus knows everything...i'll nip down and ask her......

back in a bit....

There can be little doubt that condo prices here are vastly overinflated. Hard to see how they can possibly stay so high indefinitely.

Personally I bought my condo in the knowledge that it was somewhat overpriced because it is one of the very few I have seen that I like, and because even if it halves in value I will still want to live in it.

Of course if Thailand changes the retirement extension rules and I have to move to Cambodia or Costa Rica or wherever then I may be out a couple of million Baht on my condo and I may cry into my beer for a day or two about that before forgetting about it. Even including my car and my retirement extension deposit and my condo all my Thai holdings only represent a few % of my net worth, so no big deal.

But if I had put my life savings into off-plan condo investments here I would be sh*tting myself now.

So you are well off and won't be too fussed about losing a few mil on your property, but you are forever on here complaining about the price of a bottle of water, amongst other things?

..........i think that could well be a contender for "reply of the month".............

......Bloke down our way has slung his car radio out, and now and just uses his 8 track....loves it......

i have been fined twice at Hua Hin but that pipe was loud. They did not fine me with another aftermarket pipe at Hua Hin last time as they said it is not that loud and let me go. So, riding here for long years and fined only two times.

So, as long as it is not very loud, it should be fine but laws say, exhaust needs a TIS stamp to be legal on roads.

Stickers/vinyls no problems.

nice bike you are getting!

you forgot to mention that "loud pipes save lives" - or was it "loud pipes make people you pass think yer a chump" - can't remember which.....

.........and they laughed when i started downloading torrents.............

Most torrent sites tell you not to use utorrent 3.4.1 as its unstable but to use an earlier version such as 2.2

bloke down our way swears by 1.8.2

Bloke down our way's got a large chopper....reccons its more trouble than its worth..................

what is the reason to keep an age limit above 40?

To keep out the "loud pipes save lives" brigade.........

I just PM you

thank you...but i'm not sure where he got the chopper from......

..the world's gone \\mad...its a (3 wheel) scooter, for gord's sake

........what about if you've got a large chopper - would that be a problem ??

..God i hope not...bloke down our way has just weighed in for life membership......i won't hear the last of it if its all gone Averil Dudley.....

................Bloke down our ways got a large chopper....

And apparently, he's not scared of using it, either....

...and it's definitely safer and more stable than any other two-wheelers of the same size !!

Says Who ? (other than you....)

Okay tried the Tricity today. Here are my thoughts. I like the dash and the build quality seems good although the owner said he replaced some plastic screws (not good seems like both honda and yamaha have been cheapening their bikes since the days of bikes like the airblade). The bike feels heavy not only when you ride it but when you get on because of the front end weight feels like you are yanking a 400 cc or so. On the road the bike was great over speed bumps and the suspension seems good and should be real nice for two up riding. Brakes are excellent. However, it is not an agile bike although it corners well. It also feels slow but maybe this can be improved with lighter variator weights or restricting the restrictor. And around 80 km it didn't feel so stable to me not sure why if it was the seating position or the way the front end is perhaps not ideally balanced and there exists a bit of play between the wheels. Did not have enough time on the bus to investigate fully.

I cannot understand what Yamaha is thinking with that seat. Anyone over 5 6 will have their knees pushed to the bike. Also lack of storage under the seat and having to lift the seat for a fill up.

Not a bike for me but some riders will like the stability. I think it will be a good two up rider that should shine in the rain or slippery road conditions. Not sure if it will soak up those road bumps an agile single wheel can easily miss.

The Tri City tries to solve a problem that didn't exist......

Never in the reign of pig's puddin (as uncle Percy would say) will you see 3 wheelers becoming the norm and "old fashioned" 2 wheelers slip away into oblivion....

Do you think the next Isle Of Mann TT Race will feature 3 wheel bikes "because of the improved front stability and handling" ??

me neither....

so, 82,000 b for a 115cc scooter........

numbers don't stack up to me when the same amount gets you a 150cc Honda PCX............

............my ten pennyworth....

the Tri City is the same price as a new PCX which has a 150cc engine...

Putting 2 wheels on the front is providing a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist...it also looks pretty daft in the flesh too (imho...)

I would also doubt that the Tri City would be as good as the PCX in nipping through busy traffic and is going to be harder to park (and find a place if you live in BKK or Pattaya)....

The PCX has a 5 year proven track record and has been described in the motor cycle press as not only the best scooter Honda make, but probably one of the best bikes it makes (Motor Cycle News, UK).....

in my wildest dreams i wouldn't choose a Tri City above a PCX.....

Agreed I do not care how good the food is I have been there many times also and it's been closed I'll never go there again.
