Popular Post ballpoint Posted April 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2019 At one point I had 7 bikes here, all 865+cc Triumphs, except for a DT200R for the dirt. Now, whittled down to just 2 Triumphs. Ridden through, if not stayed overnight in, every changwat at least once (yes, I've rather anally ticked them off), been down to Singapore twice and KL on 3 other occasions. Still here to talk about it, and not thinking "damn, I wish I had have done that..." or "ooh, shall I get out of bed today? It might be dangerous outside!" 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Yes... But not really a big bike... Used to have a Yamaha TriCity - (I may get another when the 300cc model comes out as I think they are excellent for the City). Currently have a BMWG310GS - (which I may turn in for something larger - been eyeing up the Ducati Monster 821 or 800cc Cafe racer (which was too small in physical size) so the 1100cc Scrambler, or even the G850GS for more out of town riding). I could easily have 4 or 5 bikes because there are lots that I kind of like, but nothing yet which makes me pull the trigger and go and get it - so I'm just still scooting about on the baby GS. I've never done an out of town trip (over night etc to another area on the motorcycle, I've covered quite a lot of mileage over Thailand in a car)... A Bike trip is something I'd like to do, just looking for like minded folk for an over nighter or a couple of nights away.... The heat at the moment is stifling the MC riding... its just too hot and I find myself taking the car most places until the temperatures drop a little close to lower 30's (c). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted April 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2019 Currently I have a Suzuki Raider 150 (under-bone, 6 gear manual) and a KTM Duke 390 with is still nimble enough to get through the (standing) traffic. I live in the middle of Bangkok and I feel safe enough to ride them all the time through town. On heavy traffic short trips the Suzuki is the better choice. On "longer" trips like anything about 5km I normally take the bigger bike. In terms of feeling safe on the roads I think there are two main factors: a) How good do we know that specific road? Within maybe 2km around "my" Sukhumvit Soi I know most roads in detail. Where to change to which lane, where do other vehicles come unexpectedly, red lights and in which order do they let the traffic through. Its also good to know where the road surface is damaged. Knowing all this makes it a lot safer because I know most of the time what to expect. If I ride on roads which I seldom or never use it's more dangerous because I don't know what to expect from the others. b) The bike must be fast enough and/or small enough for the roads. In stop and go traffic even a small bike has normally enough power but if there is even a couple of hundred meters of "free" road then most vehicles go fast(er). It's important to be able to keep up with them and even better be able to accelerate away from them. And then there are areas which are possible to use but which will always be dangerous. Bangna Trad is such an example. Lots of big trucks with relative high speed. One unexpected pothole and that might be the end. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Theory Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) There is no such safe bike riding no where on Earth, but here is much worse than anywhere else. Most of times you have no control on cause of accidents and it does not have much to do with your kind of motorcycle.

Kerryd Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Harley (Heritage Softail) and a Honda (Wave) here. Originally had a Phantom but realized it wasn't worth it. 4 hours ago, Deli said: Yes. Loud pipes save lives ! I can testify to that. I had 2 minor accidents over the 15 years I've been riding in Thailand and in both cases, if I'd had louder pipes, I may not have had any. Up until last year I had long, large "OEM" pipes/mufflers that were so quiet people called my bike a "Honda Davidson" ! They would make noise if I was revving up (i.e. prior to a gear shift or sudden acceleration) but at a normal idle or even low speed "putting" they were very quiet. I have "shorties" on now that probably won't pass inspection. However, I've noticed on my last couple of trips that people hear me coming now. Many times I've been riding on highways and side roads, in cities and small villages, and see people looking up (or behind them) when they hear the bike coming. It's not as loud as some of the beasts out there but it's enough that people notice it (and maybe think twice before doing something stupid like cutting across in front of me without looking). Might have to get another set of "quieter" ones to swap with when it comes time for the annual inspection though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
