V-max In Pattaya

[gargamel1]

are there any v-maxs for rent in pattaya?

There used to be. I actually bought one from a rental place. If you just walk down the main drag you will see the bikes parked. Just ask one of the rental guys. I think I still have the number of the rental place I bought mine from. I will post it soon.

Wonder what you intend to do with a V-Max in Pattaya? Totally overpowered. And with those "illegal licensed" rental bikes you can not get out of town.

Never mind, I was about to buy one....but at the end found something nicer.

thats exactly what i plan on doing. take his heavy ass outa town for a spin

why? shold it be a a problem?

I bought mine from a rental place there and had no problems with the rego at all. As far as in town they have a good riding position and nice torque. I have no problems with mine in town. And power is only as fast as you twist the throttle. Never have understood those arguments. You can go fast enough on a vespa to kill yourself.

Rent your vamax and have a great time.

buying a bike is diffrent.

i heard alot about rental bikes and their license.

and i wonder. what if i decide to take it out of town ? and got pulled over. money should solve all ..aint?

btw ive heard that if you aint got a thai license they can fine you, is that right?

Imho the rental place will not allow you to leave Pattaya and drive a Big Bike upcountry or to BKK (ask them before).

Yes, you will get fined for not having a Thai license. 200B is the going rate in Isaan, no idea what the inflated Pattaya fine is.

in case im not asking for premission, whats it gonna be? another fine? perheps taken beaten? or maby they will put me in for this kind of illegal activity?.....im just wondering....

i keep asking the same question, till i get the exact answere....

the question is:

is it all about money/fines (as big as they are..) ?

cuz i wouldnt mind to allocate as much as 10-20k baht and hand it out to the poor rental cops on my way up north

as long as it allways gets to the money thing , than money should solve all, means we're good

unless things can get realy messed in a way that money will never solve

[moo9]

There are no fixed fines. Almost all of the big rental bikes might have a dubious registration, probably no proper insurance. So whatever happens to you (crash, stolen, police problems) guess who will be responsible for all possible damages? When you sign the rental contract, you declare that you'll come up for everything!

I would think twice really.
