Tchooptip Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I was looking for a second hand motor bike, when I found this ad, I thought wow I'll buy it. My wife told me "cannot buy for Samui", police will tell, you changed that you changed that, 500+500+500 for a motor bike like that maybe 5.000 Baths each time Police stopped you! Is she right? What's your opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsxrnz Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I've got a mate in Pattaya with a PCX that has all the mods shown on that one. He's had no trouble with the BIB. However, I have heard of several cases where riders (Thai and Falang) have been fined for a modified exhaust. It depends on how greedy the BIB is that particular day. I think there is a law saying it's unlawful to modify a car or bike from standard............and this law is avidly adhered to by everybody in Thailand.

David48 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Everyone is different. I reckon the bike looks great. Not everyone's' cup of tea ... but this is Thailand. Your wife is probably correct ... the Police will take special notice of you. But maybe, after a while ... not a problem. I say ... YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ll2 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) they charged me at times at touristic areas. In Hua Hin, i have been charged a couple of times within 3 days! Last time again in Hua Hin, they checked my pipe and told me that although it is not legal they let me go as it is quiet. You know you are a farang and once police see you with the mods, they will stop you. But, you can pay some money under the table and get the pipe stated in your greenbook, it is possible. They cannot charge you normally for other mods and only for pipe. Or maybe you can tell them like it is rental bike? I am sure they will never charge you if you say so!

JonnyF Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The exhaust is illegal, the other modifications probably should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchooptip Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 OK not buy, anyway its too late, sold already Thanks for your advices, I will remember, for I do believe in Thailand my peace of mind comes before indulging my whims. ...Being not a native English speaker sometimes I am not sure at all my formulation is correct...grrr!

KRS1 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 when you buy an exhaust that has passed TIS certification, there is a TIS card provided that should be kept in your wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
