I also have a 1262cc Ducati but I don't ride around 2nd road, 3rd road, side roads, or Buakhao,

That's too much bike for Thailand.  There are not many places to wind it out.

    You think the foreign tourists cause the traffic jams?

Diavel ?

Great bike, I recently picked up a Ducati Scrambler for my bar hopping or 7/11 bike.... much better than my Forza.

Which version?

He seeks constant validation on an anonymous Forum.

Not saying that's the sign of a Beta male, but it's the sign of a Beta male...a wannabe Alpha, and most definitely not a Sigma.

I’m not surprised to see you using simplistic or immature language.

It's not the volume of traffic that is the problem. It's the total lack of any synchronisation of the lights that bottle-up a kilometre long queue of traffic at an intersection while the converging roads cleared of traffic three minutes previously and not a vehicle in sight for half a kilometre or more in any direction.

I took a taxi from Bangkok to Pattaya and remember sitting in stop-and-go traffic watching the traffic lights.  What an unsynchronized mess.

I don't ride fast, I just enjoy the experience.

I've been riding motorcycles since age of 10yo.

At times I'll take off quick from the lights, listening to the roar of my termignoni exhaust, getting up to the speed limit 80 or 100km/h, then set the cruise control, watching the other bikes and cars zoom past.

Where do you put the spare helmet for all the babes you pick up ?

Getting back to the topic of this thread, it might have something to do with the weather in the northern hemisphere.

Not quite: If you are even in Pattaya do you see thousands of Finns, Swedes and , Northern Europeans jamming all the roads up ??. Getting back to the topic, the traffic is 90% Thais. Sorry to say but the Thais have worn out their welcome in Pattaya

Ha ha, occasionally I take my girlfriend, she does not like riding pillion, too hot she says, she'd rather be in the air conditioned car.

Beta, Alpha, Sigma, all mean nothing, as it's all individual, and most have a combination of those. What matters is how you treat others around you, and if you're one of those who actually thinks they have superior genes to anyone else, which means they haven't been humbled by nature yet, know it's coming. They also have a penchant to assume how others on a forum are or live.

Those descriptions are just general and don't say whether a person is good or not. Usually alphas are more selfish though.

Warning to the many grumpy old guys here, DO NOT TRY THIS, you won't succeed.

Not hard to pick up chicks in Thailand.

I haven't had a good run with Thai girlfriends.


I was with the mother of my children for the first 15 years in Thailand. We drifted apart, then I got back on the bachelor scene.

I had a few girlfriend who didn't suit me, then found the one I wanted to be with for the next 15 years, sadly she passed away, only 26yo 😪.


The last live in girlfriend got pregnant. She's living in Isaan with my baby now (long story).


I found a girlfriend recently, offered her a beer front 7-Eleven, we hit it off but I can't see it being long term.

How did the 26yo die?

This kind of thing seems to happen often. Not the dying part but the fact that you can't actually be with the one you really love.

She got the short straw in the gene pool, inherited weak DNA

Pulmonary edema

Picking up chicks from the front of 7/11 won't work. A 26yo is too young for middle aged men.

There is nothing like sitting at a stoplight on a hot day with the engine heat radiating upwards. Then toss in proper rider gear.

So you admit to drinking outside a 7/11?

Yeah, but just one then I move on to the next 7eleven.

Funny story, the girlfriend I've got now was out the front talking to her girlfriend, I walked past asking if she would like a Chang beer, she replied LEO. 🍺

Cool chick ❤️

I'm not like the guys who sit for hours out of the front 7-Eleven located outside Flybird 😂

Are they cheaper than bargirls?

I don't do bars, stop that long time ago.

The money is not an issue, comparability is a priority, happy, sexy, petite.

Nothing worse than being with a negative woman.

I like spending time, visiting the in-laws, Always a great time.

I give the girlfriend money for our holiday, start with 20k baht, she asks if needs more, I top up. I prefer her to deal with the money, so no one asks me for things, she buys everything, I just sit there get handed glasses of Chang and ice, my mouth in between conversations is getting filled by the girlfriend, fish, pork etc wrapped in veggies, it's a great recipe for non hangover next day, I just keep eating.

why would planes from Dubai stop coming to Thailand?

I would think with the current situation people in Dubai that are capable might like to take a nice little safe vacation in Thailand.
