Honda Crm250 Blasts Along Sukhumvit Highway, Rayong

[bruceboy]

Eventually, his luck will run out.

Rubbish video, a new neuvo could have kept up

Opening up Honda CRM250 on the Sukhumvit main highway in Rayong province eastern Thailand. Not riding too crazy and keeping plenty in reserve as my girl is on the back but get up to about 90mph when...

Is it just me or is the idiot driving the bike the kind of rider that you would love to see come a cropper?

Saw that VDO a while back, out here the corporate network blocks youtube what joy that is

Anyways I thought his comment below that he was an experienced rider so what he did was safe was the best of all with that VDO.

I chatted with him and he was a tourist on a rented Pattaya bike driving in an area he never been to before, and actually he start the VDO at the Hat Mae Ramphung intersection follow Sukhumvit a bit then turns to route 36.

So unknown road, unknown rules, rented bike, a passenger (bar girl he barely knew and not knowing her well enough to ride really fast with, who was hand holding a camera in one hand), almost no safety gear and claiming to be experienced and safe is pathetic.

Hope none others follow his example...

Lets get a few things clear:

1, I have never chatted with you. I'm guessing your maybe the guy called 'rayongracer' who left a comment on my vid telling me how it would only be a 300 baht fine for speeding and that "you can slide them 200 baht and you don't get the hassle"

2, I was not on an unknown road, I've done that journey many a time with both bike and car on journeys to Rayong, Chantanaburi and Koh Chang.

3, The girl on the back is my girlfriend of 5 years, is not a bargirl and never has been.

Yes the bike was rented, I get the same bike long term whenever I'm over and that vid was taken in the last few days of a 3 month visit so I had hardly just swung my leg over it.

Now if you all want to flame me then go right ahead, but keep it to the known facts and don't invent stuff for effect.

Have a nice day

I'm confused!

So this is supposed to be impressive how?! Firstly he ain't exactly going fast, secondly why in gods name would you want to ride 'fast' on the road in a CRM250?? 90mph and had plenty in reserve - yeah and right now pink buffalo has just done a fly by past my house! Two people up on a CRM250 you'll be pushed to reach 90mph - it's a single cylinder 2-stroke for god sake!

I remember kids in school always boasting about reach 50mph on there 50cc . .. . even though we all knew unless it was down a 1 in 4 gradient with a 10mph wind behind them it was impossible!

An A1 tosser.

Never posted it to impress anybody, just thought I'd share it same as all the other vids I posted.

Yes a CRM250 would be pushed to do 90mph 2 up, but then that is exactly what I said in the info to the vid if you'd of bothered to read it properly, I quote "get up to about 90mph when the road is clear which is pretty much flat out sitting upright with passenger". The bit about keeping plenty in reserve was about the riding style not the top speed.

Btw, I had a Garelli Rekord when I was 16 and it would quite easily do 50mph, 60mph in the right conditions.

this guy is a jerk , i watch the others vids when he drive in pattaya and on the beach, His girlfriend scare and ask him to stop but he dont give a dam_n

Imo, he never drive a motorbike in thailand.

My advice : he really should wear a real helmet and learn to drive a motorbike because he such a newbie.

Newbie ? I had my 1st motorbike when I was 8 yo which is 31 years ago, raced motocross for many years, rode on the road since I was 16, worked as a motorcycle courier in london and rode bikes in Thailand for 15 years. I may be many things but a newbie is not 1 of them.

And the bit in the vid on the beach where my girlfriend asked me to stop was nothing to do with riding fast, it was about riding through 6 inches of seawater.

You know for a second there I thought there was a rival helmet cam bouncing around Thailand, then I saw he'd taken the easy-option!

He looks a twt for riding with fck all gear on! Not even layers!

I think I saw this a while ago come to think of it.

It's typically the 'rent-a-bike for the day with BG on the bag' crowd and then film it on youtube

I'm gonna hunt the clip down now and fire off a video response! Show him how it's really done

You seem to have a very high opinion of yourself or at least your vids, lets face it they're not exactly Mike Hailwood at the Isle of Man TT.

Keebone, considering you claim to have all this riding experience, none of it shows, that was a terrible ride & you should really wake up to yourself.

Well we're all guilty of a little bit of over exuberance at times

Keebone, firstly you are the one that posted a video of yourself which shows us exactly how poorly you ride, then you come in here jumping up and down after everyone critises you of doing so. What is going on between 0.08 seconds and 0.18 seconds on this video, theres almost 10 seconds of riding where your smack up the back of another car yet you spend the majority of this time looking backwards, carrying out unnecessarily long head checks, <deleted> are you looking for? Have you not heard of the use of your mirrors....they are for more than picking the zits on your nose, you know? A quick headcheck can be carried out to see if anyones in your blind spot, but riding up the road constantly looking over your shoulder is NEVER a good idea, especially when your directly behind another car. Anyway re-watching the first 20 seconds of your video is enough for me, please keep in mind the only reason I opened my trap is you were busy beating yourself up in your posts, but the footage doesnt support it

In regards to my previous thread, Mate your a total joke, if I looked & rode as badly as you did I would have given up long ago. At least I have the skills and training so if I pull off anything a little "exuberant" as you put it, at least I'm in control whilst doing so. You would of been better off keeping quite than to come in mouthing off at how good you are, because the video shows us differently .

I can also tell you that I dont ride with a bucket strapped to my head & dispite the heat will almost certainly be seen with more safety gear on that what you were wearing. The fact that you ride a hire bike this way, highlights your stupidity even further.

You ought see if Jimsknight can offer you some riding advice and lessons, not critise him, his videos leave yours for dead. Jimsknight has travelled many thousands of kilometres in thailand, hes not just some upstart on a hirebike trying to prove himself .

Take a bike riding course & wake up to yourself!

<Neverdie> He's probably just letting off steam and has had his feathers ruffled a bit. I'll go easy on him

Kbone,

I'm no pro and never did I pretend to be. Racings gotta be in your blood for that.

I'm a roaming and travelling adventurer who loves to ride and actually show something to other bikers and folk.

I'd rather have fun and enjoy life than take everything seriously like you have

This entails more than just a crappy video of a bird holding my camera.

Maybe you're more than a two week hero. But your reaction is typical of one who is caught out.

In fact I don't see you out on the roads apart from with some bird holding a camera around nice and flat pattaya!

Camera system? Nil, decent tours or trip reports? Nil points again from the bonerman.

So really hardly someone I'd consider a worthy biker just a gobshite who can't produce the goods

Come back when you've done more than just pootle about on your 250cc rental mate ;

Now get your ass out there and show us what you can do, instead of crying to us on TV about your ytube clip

[neverdie]

He's probably busy cruising the bars for another camera woman

[keebone]

I never made the vid to prove anything to anyone, it was my girlfriends new camera and it was her who wanted to make a vid, I put it on youtube to share with others not to try and impress anybody. I really couldn't care less what anyone on here thinks about my vids or my riding, my only real problem with what was said was that so much of it was untrue and seemingly pulled out of someones arse, but then jumping to conclusions and passing judgement is pretty much par for the course on thaivisa, as I said in my 1st post my girlfriend is not a bargirl and never has been, maybe you guys assume that other guys girlfriends must be bargirls because yours are or use to be but me I'll always hold my tongue on such matters until I know for certain and not just use the equation 'Pattaya + girl = bargirl'.

Btw, if I don't reply to any more of your superior posturing it's not because I'm lost for words, it's because I stopped posting on here over a year ago, I only logged back in to reply to something someone referred me to that I felt needed addressing and stumbled on this thread after doing so. Cant say as I miss this place much and think I'll stick with my initial decision as I prefer the company of people not so judgemental as on here and I'm not talking about your opinions of my vid. In the words of Jesus "let he who is without sin cast the 1st stone"

Y'all take care now.

[keebone]

Just rememberred why I joined thaivisa in the 1st place http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Visitor-Visa...ts-t120771.html

Maybe that'll put your bargirl jibes to an end but I won't hold my breath on it.

[JimsKnight]

I agree that the bg jibe was out of order and there was harshness on all sides.

But you bit down like a dude with a rocket in his trousers.

Enough talk I want to see some vids from Mr Kee!

Totally OT..

But thats underestimating it.. I could easily get a tuned 50 up to 55 on the flat.. Close to 60 if I was prepared to suffer the work of rebuilds all the time.. port job, higher compression, home attempt at polished heads etc.

hel_l if you bought an old one like an SS or a fizzy they would do well over 50 bog standard.. Just need to know how to remove the restrictors.

And while I might get tarred and feathered for this.. Everyone who says the guys a moron for going fast.. Are we watching the same vid ?? I dont consider myself a nutcase, some of my riding mates are much worse (or better depending on your view) then me.. But I would cut traffic like this on a day to day basis and am years without accident (touch wood). Hes an idiot for not wearing gear and for scaring his GF (tho dont they all tell you to slow down ??) but hes hardly acting out a ghostrider fetish.
