I would say I would rather a bike from one of these shops as there after sales service is better and they dont sell butched machines. I would only buy a bike that has never been riden in Thailand full stop as thais cant work on big bikes for shit. Bought my TLR from a Thai shop and could have cost me my life as they crushed the oil filter and the thing split on me doing fucking mach 1 never let a Thai touch any of my bikes again.
But I can say that now as I have a farang mate thats a good mechinic

^ agreed on the mechanic thing, my brother taught me to rebuild 2 stroke motorcross engines when i was 13

Rigger · 08-09-2006, 08:35 PM

I am not much of a mechanic more of bike wrecker

Buy them nice and new then sell them as scrap
Sure I rebuilt my old harley motor and gearbox from scratch but I had the tools and a decent shed to do it in. Here I just cant be fucked at the moment once I have a work area built I will start doing most my own work manuals and the right tools helps. But most the time I am just to rough with the shit and dont have much patience.

Well motorcross is an expensive sport to be involved in full stop. Nothing comes close for getting the old adrenaline moving though

Apart from riding when on yaba which i have never done, honest.

For an extra couple of hundred i bought super moto whells with sticky tyres

Its a 2 stroke and it can really go.

By the way the make of bike is TM they are an italian company and although a little bit more expensive than a standard honda/suzuki/yam/ktm they come with a lot of better parts such as power pipes brembo brakes etc

This is the first time i have tried to upload a picture what am i doing wrong?????????????

Can someone sort this post out for me?

Look in the Newbies section for how to post pics.

Right nut springs to mind....(as in "I would give my right nut for one of those") for you non Australians.

A Monster SR4 with the 999 engine.

Not my cup of tea.

Don't really like Ducati's

My mate gave me a 400cc monster to use whilst work was being carried out on my Varadero. Fucking straight through exhaust. Car alarms were going offf, children were droppping dead in the street, birds were falling from the sky - it was fucking loud.

Bung · 09-09-2006, 10:09 AM

So your saying you prefer something over silenced then?

(Like my bloody f650 at the moment!)

mrsquirrel · 09-09-2006, 03:50 PM

I wouldn't say over silenced. I have never hear a 400cc make as much noise as that before.

THe carb was dodgy as well so I had to feather the throttle the whole time. Every so often it spat flames out the back.

Rigger · 09-09-2006, 04:02 PM

I had the 900 ss Ducati back in Aussie great bike little bit under powered but over all never gave me any trouble except chewing out a dry clutch but I think that was more of the way I rode it
and the sound.
nothing sounds as good as a ducati with a good system on it going full throtle

I don't have piccies of my motorcycle, but it's a 1999 Isuzu 80cc three wheeler with a drag bar for when I'm doing quarter mile runs. It's a real piece of work; gets ET's of around 31 seconds. That's better than my old Bridgestone or Hodaka were.

Erm, maybe it was a 1989 Benelli GP replica. I forget.

Thaicoon · 13-10-2006, 11:26 PM

Rigger,
Just bought Dave's CBR 900RR Fireblade, nice bit of kit, keeping the other two choppers, had to have another toy to mess around on. go for a spin sometime,

Eliminator,
Get that Kwacka on the road, he sits there looking at it, seen it on the webcam in the corner, i have heard a Tookai lives in the tank, maybe that was the noise when it stopped....................Welshman winding you up.

Yeh I heard mate you picked up a nice bike there at good money
pitty but as he was the only one in the area that can keep up playing cat and dog.
Are you going to put tassles on the Blade

And you are right about Eliminators bike I heard a family of tookays have moved in and are demanded squaters rights. I just lent a mate a hand to do his bike stripped his bike to a bare frame in about 6 changs and it was rebuilt and back together in 10 days and thats only because he was waiting on a respray
How many years you been building that bike now mate. about time you pulled your finger out

Eliminator · 14-10-2006, 09:38 AM

Just 2 more seals and it's going back together come hell or high water.
