I got a crappy rice cooker as a freebie when I bought my Air Blade.

It fitted ok and I could put the lid in the underseat compartment but I felt a right prat

I would have bought a safety helmet anyway, but it was good of the Honda dealer to give me one. I am not concerned about how I ride a bike my concern is with other road users ie.riding a bike and driving a car safely.

Riding without a helmet or eye protection is dumb.

Damn, I hate those dumbass "amazingthaicartoons" cartoons. Every time I go for a piss in a farang pub they're all over the walls. I wish they'd hang them a little lower down so I could properly express my opinion of them.

As long as you stop and turn around, before you get to the cop with the receipt book, they will not chase you.
