kawapower Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Wise decision Kenny. I sold my XS1100S as well, simply too fast here and IMO extremely dangerous. Loved the Z1000 but on occasion I lost all sight of consideration for others,the 250 is great, so much better in traffic, very cheap to run and maintain.

Galong Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 When you KNOW that there is no chance of being stopped by the cops, you do crazy things. I can only imagine what it would be like back in my homeland if everyone knew the cops were sitting in the office watching soap operas and game shows on TV instead of patrolling.

Yes totally agree with you, hopefully doing crazy things are a thing of the past for me, although I rarely did crazy things, as a poster informed us I did on occasion, I am sensible enough to take criticism and make a change for the better.

Catch a taxi, tuk tuk or sorng taew Sent from my GT-I9100 using Thaivisa Connect App i always was under the impression that this forum is for people to share their views and opinions. Perhaps at times also express their frustrations, as it sure is better to express it in writing, than picking up a gun and going on a shooting rampage. Thai's do not read the road rules to start with, so i am really unsure what point you were trying to make.BUT if you bothered all that much, why not just skil the thread and go onto the next one, which meets your approval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snamos Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) If you know the OP from his previous user name. He is always the nice guy, never does anything wrong, never gets angry, always does the right thing. This thread is just another example of 'mr nice guy' preaching to everyone about what a good drver he is. Im sure more than a few people on this thread (including the op) talk on their mobiles whilst driving, run red lights, speed and drive under the influence. I for one moved here from a nanny state which is why I like it here. As i said before.

grumpyoldman Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Didn't read through the whole thread but am onboard with the sentiment. Yesterday, the big Tesco Lotus signal going out toward the bypass road. Guy on a bigger Kawasaki bike with Thai GF on back, as the light turns green, full throttle, then with throttle still full goes into a wheelie and holds it for more than 100 meters. Thai GF holding on for dear life.........hope she finds a new BF before she gets killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
