dttk0009 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I have been interested in getting a motorcycle to get around as I am growing tired of taking taxis and the motorcycle taxis. I realise getting a driver's liscence for the bike is easy breezy (I already have a car one), but I'd like to know where I can get cheap bikes. I was talking to my local motorcycle taxi guys, and they said their bikes were purchased second hand for around 10k Baht. Does anyone here have any experience with second hand bikes? How much they'd typically charge? Where any good stores are? Much appreciated, Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dttk0009 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Ah yeah, thanks for the reply. I felt pretty stupid as 30 seconds after posting this I found the motor sub-forum, and got all my answers from there : /. Regardless, thanks anyway!

dttk0009 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 I thought it was a pretty nifty gif when I saw it. I suppose if the mods deem it inappropriate I'll change it, but I see nothing wrong with it. Also, the fact that I'm looking to buy a second hand motorcycle in Bangkok to drive should be enough to tell how you sane I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'm likely heading back up to BKK at the end of next month .... I doubt I'll be riding that much in the depths of the city ... but to and from Seacon and out and about the edges of town work well enough for me But I do ride everyday in Phuket ... same as when I lived in hua Hin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
