recom273 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 These pics appeared on a Thai V-Strom FB group today. I suspect that this bike will serve no useful purpose other than escort visiting VIP's from CM airport .. So no need to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recom273 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Sure beats a 100 cc Honda Wave I often see an official RTP CBR 150, always with two guys doing the same route, i think it must be property check detail - the whole affair looks rather 'camp' the guy on the back sits awkwardly, far back on the pillion and keeps his hands on his thighs and instead of using the turn signals the guy on the back gives these slight gestures with his hands. For a bit of fun, I overtake them a little on the close side and tear off, but they never rise to the bait.

guzzi850m2 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Isn't that where your tea money goes.... No way, tea money is used for personnel expenses, like houses, nice cars & mira nois. Some big local companies often help sponsoring the police with bikes or the dealers sells them to the police very very cheap and thereby gets some advertising on their product.

bramds Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Traffic police is paid by the royal household, so maybe they also pay for the bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
