Great stuff Rig. Me and the mrs just got out of hospital with a viral infection. I think she picked it up visiting her sick brother in the 30 baht hospital, hopefully I will see you up there on the 5th. May be able to get back on the wagon by then!

Nah but they gave me photo copies in German from the manual which makes me think it is a bit tricky. Maybe it will be easier when I'm not feverish and me head clears or I will scan it here for a German to translate. Gearing it down, chuck on the new tyres and got k&n's to put on her

removing the front sprocket should be a relatively easy procedure. Only the nut is put on pretty tight.

Your right of course, not feeling too bright at the moment and I'll have to modify a spanner to fit it as there is a square section sticking out the front of the nut for some sort of electronic pickup and I don't have a socket deep enough to reach the nut part. Must buy a manual for it.

Sorry, getting completely off topic here.

Always good to treat them when they come to town.

Build yourself a BBQ pit and spit roast a cow.

Honda CR 250 motorcross bike. I had some stale fuel in it and didnt shake it well and let a Thai friend ride it who melted the piston. So while they were doing the top might as well do the bottom. With new bearings/piston/rebore/air filter/ gaskets and seals with labour came to about 10K.

At first I felt funny about it, but then I just went with the flow.
Yes we will be looking after the guys when they come down in a couple of weeks. The wife will be doing the food thing, I did suggest a pig but wife says no, me and a few others will take care of the riding and the alcohol
