They are in the wrong.

Also, never go to the police station they propose, they probably know the cops there and you'll get screwed over, you should go to the nearest police station where the incident happened.

But if you were both going in the same direction, you were in the right, they should wait for a clear path to make a turn.

Also, them driving without insurance is also not legal.

It is just a small Z800.

74,999 baht

Have you tried the Yamaha dealer?

Is this new exhaust a slip-on or a full system?

I loved my kawasaki GTO :-)

It was on the last motor show in BITEC BangNa.

Quality looks good, full sized bike, looks a lot like an SR400, although this has an electric starter :-)

OmegaRacer knows a good place.

Does this new LED taillight fit in the old model?

Who is this Jo Modify?

I need some bits and parts too for my carbed bike.

He probably had the MotoDynamic taillight fitted, it has the integrated indicators.

I think it's funny how people always talk about the resale when they have just bought a bike.

The last thing I think about when riding a new bike, is selling it.

The bike is coming with ABS by the end of the year, no idea of the price, hope it stays the same at least.

Looks like I am not affected

Yeah, you must have a work permit to buy a vehicule in your name.

Totally not true, I bought my current bike while I was on a tourist visa. It is in my name, always has been.

You do need to have a work permit to finance a bike in your own name.

The hangup seems to be with getting the res cert from the local imm. office. You should be able to get a res cert with a copy of your rental agreement/contract, but TIT

No idea what one can do about an office that makes up it's own rules.

Well, the yamaha dealer ask me to bring my work permit when I will get my bike (MT-07). And he knows I will pay cash so it's not for finance.

He is misinformed, as shocking as that may seem here in LOS

The dealer needs it to register the bike. Work permit also states your address. Will be just as fine with a residency cert, but keep in mind, a residency cert is only valid for 30 days.

^ "many naked sport bikes"?? So what are they, especially in the 300K price range? Also the tank isn't plastic. It's got plastic covers.

i see many people complain about plastic tanks.... why?

metal tank is more weight up high, and gets hot.... i dont see the advantage to a metal tank... can someone educate me why you would want metal over plastic?

Because plastic melts.

As far as I know, you won't even be able to put the bike in your name at the Department of Land Transportation, can't buy vehicles on a tourist visa (legally that is).

The fine is 1 baht per month.

No it is not. Last year our bike was over due about 20 days and we we charged 20 baht. As Stoneyboy states it is 1 Baht per day.

Then you got scammed.

I was 2 months late and got fined 2 baht, this also gets printed in your green book.

With these bikes you can go to any motorbike repair shop

Overhaul shouldn't be too expensive, not more than a couple of thousand baht.

Maybe best to agree on a price before the overhaul.

The fine is 1 baht per month.

Anyway I have some minor issues with my bike:

- in idle the headlight and turning indicator is very dim. I replaced the battery but still same problem

- once you reach 7000 rpm or around 80 kph it gets quite rough from vibrations of the whole bike. Is that normal? I thought of looking for a modified gearbox with a longer 5th gear

I had the same headlight problem, I think it was a general issue, as long as you are on the throttle, the light runs fine

I didn't have that kind of vibrations, easy to cruise at 100 km/h or more without any strange vibrations.

I had a GTO Speedster.

A little birdy told me the MT-09 will be available with ABS end of the year.

I used to have one, still got the green book though

Did some nice trips on it, very comfortable bike too.

So, next time I'll take my work permit and documents from the revenue office, so I can show them how much tax I pay then.

Will this work?

check out the guys of "Ride and Pride", they ride lots of Triumphs and also make custom seats.
