Re: The bikers thread; trips, news, chat, all things motorcycle

What about Motor Ville in Cha Am opposite Big Kiang - I know they’re not a BMW agent but they deal with big bikes so may be worth a look? https://maps.app.goo.gl/gmXS1VqyecVpgG6t8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy If you read the reviews section it’s very positive including one happy customer who h...

Re: Thais and noise - is it cultural? I don’t get it.

Not meaning to sound a twat, but we should also ask ourselves if 'Silence' is a cultural thing for us.

Thai people seem to happily accept that all things make sound, however, we insist that some things are loud, whilst others must be quiet or even silent.

Re: Where to buy Honda CB650F

Hi Buksi

For less than 300K, it looks a decent bike.

Its got twice of everything that the CB500 has, including horsepower!

I might have something red for sale if you can wait a few months, probably around 425k mark, if you are interested

Re: The bikers thread; trips, news, chat, all things motorcycle

Hi Dtaai-Maai Honda Waves are still the fastest machines in Bangkok! Those bikes can weave in and out of the tightest traffic mess. I've been away from biking for many years, and only had the time (and resource) to get back into it in the last few years. I have to say, that I am enjoying very much g...

Re: The bikers thread; trips, news, chat, all things motorcycle

Went to the Motorshow last weekend. Whilst not fully committed to a new bike, I kinda had something in mind. Particular wanted to the new Multistrada and the BMW S1000XR (I'm not a natural BMW fan). The BMW was truly awesome. BMW have done a wonderful job designing this bike really for the non-BMW r...

Re: Have You Ever Been Targeted and Stitched Up By The Polic

In 16 years I can recall 3 instances that were clearly not for any real traffic violation, or for any other reason than to extract additional personal income. Once, for driving without a passport (Yes, i know technically this is an offense). Once for passing through a red light on a road that did no...
