Hello all!

Just bought this brand new Honda Supercub a couple weeks ago and have already done a bit of modding..

What are the mods?

LED taillight

I wonder if it is an easy swap with the old one.

Just bought the Revit Galactic jacket from Panda Rider. Very nice, 13,500 baht including 10% member discount. It's a mesh leather combo which I feel is the best option for day to day riding here, 100% mesh makes me feel a bit vulnerable on a proper ride and my full leather Dainese is really really hot. I really liked the Komine JK-021 I had before this (also leather mesh combo) but it's a copy and the stitching is poor so I decided to replace it. Fine for low speed rides though, super comfy. Paddock has original Komine JK021's for about 12,000 baht but I didn't see them until I'd bought the copy for 5000 baht - annoying...

This Revit has pretty good airflow at the front and back but all impact areas are leather. Best of both worlds! Nice soft leather too, and the predominantly white portion always helps in the sun! Highly recommended...

It won't stay predominantly white if you ride in BKK every day

Just get a second hand CB500F, enough power for what you want to do with it and second hand starts as low as 150K.

Enough money left to change/upgrade it to your liking.

Looks like Triumph has some beef with Harley Davidson, they are never at the same show here

I use the one from K-Speed on my CB500F, only use it for the rear, bike is pretty stable.

There is not a lot for bikers this year.

There is only a huge stand from Bikers and one or two parts shops in the Accessories Hall.

Last year there were a lot more shops present.

So I guess, some guys won't be putting Pirellis on their bikes anymore, since it is Chinese now

The last one had next to no gear.

That's because it is a different motorshow.

This is the big one, where also all the bike accessories shops are.

Maybe your right, but it was in the same location and called the same.

Strange that?????

The one that is organised at the moment, is called Bangkok International Motor Show.

The other one is called Motor Expo and is organised in November/December, this is also smaller than the one happening now.

You are right about the fact that both are organised in the same building.

Every road vehicle should stay on the left, and you can only go to the right to overtake slower vehicles.

Just a pity that those cars doing 40 in the right lane don't get fined.

I got fined for riding on the right because I wanted to U-turn, cops just told me I couldn't U-turn at the next junction. I didn't know, was my first time in that area. Still had to pay at the police station.

Didn't know where that was, so a cop rode in front of me on his bike. First thing he did was go to the right and make an illegal U-turn.

Still bashing myself for not having my camera on my bike that day.

Big Wing BKK sells one too. I think the brand is H2C.

Close to Bira there are some trails.

You do have to pay a fine when you renew your tax disc too late, the fine is 2 baht per month, no joke.

I get a lot of vibration when it is placed on the handlebars, but only when pulling away from a traffic light or so.

Look more closely next time you see one, they are very prone to rust.

What bike is the OP riding?

Always thought it looked a bit ridiculous to be in full gear on a Honda Wave

Try Riders Outlet, they stock Shoei

It is on Soi Patanakarn 20, but you can access that soi from On Nut Soi 17.

They have a map on their Facebook page

Thanks. I wish they had a working webpage though. Very hard to find out what they carry with the way Facebook pages scatter things.

That is a very small shop with not a large range of sizes etc. I'd say Paddock is your best bet. You could always order online from them as you already know the fit of the helmet and the size you need. Both of these places speak ok English, so perhaps give them a call first.

It used to be a small shop. They acquired the house next door and knocked out the wall, much bigger and nicer now.

So you just mentioned on a public forum that you work here illegally?

Ok if you don't want to believe my first-hand info. Just wait for the motorshow then.

Is it produced here or still imported?

Sorry bramds, your 1st hand info came from a sales girl, you said it yourself. Sales people are known to pull the info out of their <deleted> at times, also many have zero knowledge about the bikes they're selling.

Not trying to discredit you but like it was mentioned above, elsewhere in the world, the new monster costs less than the Hyper. And yes I'm talking about the locally made bikes.

Never said she was a sales girl

Ok if you don't want to believe my first-hand info. Just wait for the motorshow then.

I was there, had a good day out.

Just before I arrived I met some Thai guys who had a spare ticket, so got in for free

Made some short videos, will upload them later. The weather was great, just a tad too hot, but liveable.

Well, I went there, on my 500F, nice asphalt road all the way to the circuit.

I think you guys got some wrong info.

The coordinates on the site are for the entrance to Thailand Circuit and your coordinates are in the middle of Thailand Circuit.

Where is the problem?

The lovely girl at Ducati told me it will be over 500K baht.

All will be revealed at the motorshow at the end of this month.
