Everybody is different and has different levels of experience and competence.

Generally it's a wise move not to drink prior to riding one's big powerful motorcycle.

But since you survived your first drunken outing, you're probably more aware of how easy it is to die on a motorcycle.

Wait till you survive you first crash. After that you might feel invincible.

Hopefully you'll survive your first one....erm many don't.

I've survived numerous crashes, I'm afraid my number might be up on the next one so I'm extra careful lately.

For a new rider a 883 would feel powful and the I am sure the sporty has a bit of grunt and enough to keep HB grining for the next 6 to 12 months.

HB so are you riding down to my place for the piss up at the start of next month. We are going to crash and run a muck at someone elses resort this time

Yes but I do what my wife told me, If I am drunk make sure to bring the bike home before dark and take the car

I feel the same way some times as I have had many close calls in Thailand and think its time to give the sport bikes a miss as I normaly ride like a retard on crack

Try opening the throttle when you're sober. You will notice the Harley not going anywhere, just making more noise.

The new bike, 2006 fresh over from Nippers.

1994 Ducati 916 SP ... The import duty nearly bankrupted me.

Very rarely do I take it out, and when I do its usually up Highway 305 towards Nakhon Nayok then into Khao Yai NP, or occasionaly the odd open day at BIRA Circuit.

Back in the days when I had hair, let alone grey ones, I used to race motorcycles, bith circuits and road racing, I did the Manx TT circuit but only during Manx GP fortnight never the TT itself .... fark I thought I was flying to hit an average lap of 110 MPH yet this years TT's its now over 130 MPH.

In all honesty I dont really enjoy taking a bike out on public highways, I am quite capable of overcooking it myself without needing other roadusers around.


I had the good fortune of taking a friends Duke 1198 R around Lusail circuit in Qater late last year, what a dream of a bike to ride, but alas nowhere to ride one here and the import tax is too prohibitive.

I know where there is a nice 999R for sale it still in bits at the moment as it was just imported if anyone is interested

That is what the wife is thinking. Got a lead on a 1200cc for B550,000.

I have to add this. I am not an expert with big bikes. The only Harley I have ever owned is a Rapido 125cc. After living in Thailand for over a decade I have got use to my Honda Wave or Yamaha.

Enjoy the ride HB.
When K. Kobb kept referring to your new purchase as a " sportsman" ....took a while for the penny to drop !
Ill be sure to drop in 4 drop or 2 once u get the hang of it.
U know theres only six turns from my drive to your moobahn?
Amazing Thailand.

I have an unfinished Trike project, (sky lab) with a 1600 Toyota engine, close to Klaeng Rayong

Post some pictures of the trike mate also is it for sale

The Buell chopper is complete and Richo harley davison did a excellent job as you can see from the pictures.

Looks pimp.
