Yes you would be wright if my fat ass was on it
But as the BIL is all of 45 kg and with a top speed of 220 klm/h I think it should be fine for him to keep up when we ride with Salakhram guys

Stick some stunt pegs onto it. Upright bars and make it into a trick bike.

Probably have to stick a bigger rear sprocket on to get it up.

I dont think its a good idea sending foreigners to a shop that does this kind half assed thia bodge job as most foreigners want to die of old age rather than being burned up in some crazy 80 kmh raging inferno

^ what and where is this shop you speak of?
Best to do the work yourself. Safer that way. The last couple of farang shops that closed in Bangkok (Thank God) were potential death traps.

I think you will find the paint shop did the work not him and it was a few bubbles on the paint work and not fuell spirting everywhere.
Now compare Anans shop to the shops in Udon and Khon kaen and anyone can see which are the better bikes.
I havent had single problem with his service in many years so I will stick with him when I need something I need it now which he does, unlike every other bike shop I have ever dealt with over the years here that fok you around to no end

You were in Oman when the bondo fell out and gas was coming out the hole, so I'm not sure how you can say that?

well I didnt know that I guess you cant help bad luck which you seem to have had with Anan. I have had three bikes from his shop all came with 12 months warrenty and I used it twice which was clutch plates in one bike and charging problem on another that turned out to be bad earth. I would recomend Anans shop to anyone that wants a deccent bike that hasnt been attacked by shitty Thai mechanics
