Big C Complex in South Pattaya....... (unscheduled visit there yesterday, these toilets are quite clean, there are seat type ones and tissue available.... to be honest Thailand does a lot better than NW UK in this regard, there, even my old standby of the public library has been closed due to repeated vandalism) Carrefour (soon to be another Big C).

That is a bet you would lose....I have had a full bike licence for over 30 years. I have also ridden a HD police special and a Road King.... nothing bigger. At the moment I just have my little Nuovo, with independent braking, I know, I have checked! What is the bike you have driven with an engine bigger than my 3 Litre truck then? There is a nice article on the combined braking system in this thread, standard on the PCX apparently, except yours, perhaps you got a cheap one?

The Last Time I saw Paris.

I get the impression you had a week or maybe 2 with a bargirl in Thailand and you had a good time. Now you want to bring her over to Canada...... Do you think you know her well enough ......? Move on...

You aren't in need of hairspray these days are you? Not like the days of your youth.... I sense envy...

The railway line runs parallel to Sukhumvit Rd. There is a Balinese/Hindu temple right on Sukumvit , near Soi 33. Can't locate the place you mean. Your best bet is to get the baht bus down Photisan then a motorcycle taxi, but figure out where the place is first. Google Maps might help.

Whenever I have been desperate to rush into one of those, there has never been a log or anything to pinch off whatsoever. (Think sparrows from a bush). Thank heaven for gas stations. I also pray for a hook or some place to hang my kecks up out of the way while I attempt this feat. Thai food is always impatient to depart.......

Did you try the idea of putting it up on the stand and operating the left brake lever? I mean you shouldn't be out riding it if you haven't got a clue how it works?

Do you have some lucrative alternative for that 800k baht you can share with us all? You can get interest on the Thai account... even have it in a fixed term deposit in Thailand getting over 2%. Better than what I get in the UK current account.

Yeah but they will send it back asking for a copy from another page. (They ALWAYS do that to me!)

Amazing, I have tried to use it from Thailand to UK landline and it has frequently been useless.

Damn, another one to add to the helmet use etc etc eh?

I know that in the UK a minibus is supposed to be limited to 62 mph (100 kph), in LOS I thought the speed limit was 120kph.There was a nasty mini-bus accident of a group travelling between Cha-Am and Phuket in the last several days... and if you ever travel down 36 to Rayong you will be passed by one doing Cambodian Visa runs... unless you drive a Cessna. I have often been a passenger in one and although the driver seemed adept, I was uncomfortable with the speed. Sometimes your driver being competent isn't the only issue.....

I think that is it.... he wasn't in many big films but there were big names in this one...... Pepe.

Well I for one would be glad not to have to report every 90 days.... Sure it isn't often, but it's like going to the airport, you have to switch off and go into a trance so as not to react to having your time wasted or being fucked with. Sure sometimes it is a breeze... sometimes not. I hope Mr Colonel gets rid of that unpleasant man who has the button pushing job who specialises in giving you the wrong form and being rude. I live 12 km North of Pattaya so Jomtiem is a bit further, there is near zero parking, roads that wouldn't be good enough in Zaire, and if I never have to go there again it would be too soon. Pity Internet reporting can't be sorted..... not sure of the postal system.

There is also the aspect of being in the rain which makes a disc a slight worry.A wet road can give you a wheel lock...... and the rain can cause the disc to be weak. I hate riding in heavy rain as I go slowly then assholes in cars get up your ass and honk at you when there is plenty room to go round. Thais seem to think you belong in the gutter where there is 3/4 inches of water!

I would prefer to stay below 120 in a minibus, that driver was going too fast.

If you regard a burger as steak then perhaps you are correct.I always felt the Americans enjoyed their steak pre-chewed!

I thought MM, preferably known as Marty, told us all her name was Pin, not Pim, not Ping. Now here you go telling us all he is wrong, and you are right. What a storm in a teacup.

Yes, I have been searching Ethiad and Qatar and now I ain't so sure. (Manchester) BA of course can gtf.

Obviously aimed at the 'man who can't put his phone down' market......I also like to be in control of the brakes myself, and avoid the front disk on some road conditions, as it can be a little strong and lock up/snatch and put you on the ground. Does the PCX have any features to prevent front wheel lock? Sorry Hamleklek, the scooby-doo (like the Fino) look to be aimed at the girlie market for me too...
