Went to Mahasalahram in the car with wife and kids, Mtd rode down with his wife and we met up with a few riders down there, Mtd scored some rare bike parts and then we had a few wiskeys and a feed all in it was a good day.

Dont forget the pics, Off to the workshop myself today for about three days work on the chopper got to do the springer seat ,new ignition, mount oil pressure gauge, new head breather filters, Braided oil lines, tighten head bearing, change all oils.
I am doing the first step towards a plate next week. Its not so bad all I have to do is take pictures of my bike and copy the frame and engine number, get a witness (Anan bike shop) to sign to say I built it in Thailand, show the import pappers on the frame and engine and pay 11K baht for the super sammit what ever the fok that is and I should be done

I got me springer seat on and is a lot more injoyable to ride not waiting for the next back jar. Fitted the daytona ignition and really happy with the power gain I got in the mid range is brutal and runs alot smother. And that only setting the static timing, need to buy a timming light this week to set it propperly

Good job on the Springer seat Rigger.
I like those seats that have like a shock absorber fitted directly to the seat.
Are they expensive?

You might be able to keep up with me 'n' Ned now, Rigger.

OK, it's a deal.

Will you pay cash or do you want my bank details?

Just looked at on of those Harleys on Monday at Chang Freeeman's shop and it does look like it's made of plastic. I liked the looks of the V-Rod that was there though. His place is getting bigger all the time.

Mr Earl · 24-07-2009, 12:59 PM

Here's my new cycle an 06 KLR650

My son and I logged about 18k miles on a pair of them over the past 11 weeks.
Across the USA twice and up to Deadhorse AK.

I'm finally back in Thailand and the first bed I've slept in, in over 6 weeks.

Travelmate · 24-07-2009, 03:53 PM

I hope to pack as much stuff on to my bike as yours one day....

slackula · 24-07-2009, 06:53 PM

Some great looking bikes in here!

I had this until December 23rd of last year, it was a 900 and went pretty fast. I had it up to 240+ a few times (hard to be exact, the speedo and tach needles would start gibbering about all over the place at around 200),

Some bastard in a pick-up side swiped me, f*cker didn't even stop, when I was riding the bike home from the repair shop after a service as I was selling it the next day. The damage was mostly cosmetic and the buyer (a good guy, I think he might be a lurker here) still took it but at less than half the price we had agreed pre-crash.

8 days in Bangkok-Phuket hospital and a bill of well over 200,000 Baht. I was also fined 2,200 Baht by Kathu municipality to replace the the tree I took out on the central reservation.

I had to promise the missus to stick to 4 wheels from then on. I've got a terrible itch to ride again but having seen the anguish she went through I couldn't do that to her again.

Stay safe guys, keep 'em sticky side down.
