^ Which bike is yours?

Travelmate

The white one!

Marmite the Dog

Better than the tractor. Good choice.

Spin

To be fair, a 2001 that has been inside Thailand for a few years will go for about 45-50k....you'd be getting a pile of scrap for your money though. Maybe I paid over the odds, happy with what I got though.

I saw this one on a feed on mocyc.com, a guy in Chantaburi orders them from yards in Japan, he puts the photos up on the the website, asks for deposits, and then orders the bike. It was risky buying a bike like this from photo but I just had a feeling it had had a very easy life and that was confirmed yesterday at the track, it runs sweeeeeeeeeetly

Rigger

Had my old CR 250 1996 up against a 2007 CR 250 at our new village track and mine pisses all over it in a straight line, I had a go on the 2007 and liked it heaps smoother and lighter easy to ride fast and less tiring.
Havent been riding for a while and after about 20 laps I went home as my arms were foked, got to get out on it more offen

Would be good with a bit of chrome showing. A bit like the Royal Enfield tanks.

Rigger

Yeh nice idea,
I am just about sold on the candy blue with some sort of patern or or theme, Ned kelly or southen cross or eureka flag or rigpig theme or all of the above

Travelmate

Yep, you should do something like this!

nedwalk

can,t go wrong here mate.. the worse part of chrome, for those who look and don,t ride, is at anywhere from about 11 to about 1.30 your blinded by the shit, i have slung a little swag with me 'wets' on the handle bars and risers to shut the bling off the top triple trees down, at least i can see where i,m going now, chrome looks ok but its a pain in the arse when your doing serious miles..and i love the look of my blacked out motor

Droped my baby yesterday

why cant they put decent drainage on u turns

falling into that shitty water pissed me off more than droping the bike

lol

Marmite the Dog

They are very top heavy bikes and although I've not dropped mine, I can see that it's easily done. Even more so when your chick is on the back.

Nawty

If its to heavy for you....poor wittle thing....get a little wave or something more suitable...

a. boozer

a little wave was what he created when he fell off!

loz944

Before making smart arse comments try asking the facts I have been riding big bikes many years the weight is not a problem

chassamui

I can testify that when a Honda wave falls on top of you it does not hurt.

I was pissed at the time though. No sense no feeling.

Nawty

...I can see it now, all these big big bikes falling over all over los....one over there, another over there....and all the wittle mopeds swerving around the mess..

I remember several years ago seeing a farang drop his honda phantom doing a U trun on Sathorn road........funny

its clear you have never ridden a much more than a girly scooter or you would have the sense not to make stupid remarks over the years i have lost many friends on bikes many of which were very good and careful riders.
acidents can happen to all of us normally caused by unexpected conditions or other idiots on the road .

and if you ride a scooter be carefull coz they will have you doing superman impressions at a blink of an eye as a friend of mine found out on his nova 135 spent 3 days in a Hospital broken ribs shoulder and leg injuries

all he did was hit a pot hole
