Btw soi 70 has the best pad thai, shame the police discourage me from going down that far

I was fast on my way to get 10 posts hehe but i got pulled over on thoses corners three times in two months for no helmet. I wouldnt be surprised if i would have got pulled even if i was wearing a helmet tho.. (Police looking for money)

They're always looking for money and especially from those that make it easy for them (like wearing no helmet). As it happens, I've just finished watching an episode of "Motorway Cops", a UK police programme that featured accidents involving motorcyclists, including a fatality of a guy who went into the back of a parked car and was not wearing a helmet!!

So why are you insinuating the police are in the wrong and looking for money? the reason for you are being pulled is you are breaking the law and deserve to be fined.

Wake up and wear a helmet

In time I'm sure we'll see this in Thailand as well.

This may or may not be of interest to you bikers. There were a few cool looking bikes and helmets at today's Tattoo Convention. There are a few photos here viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28212 .

Sorry if you consider them gimmicks (I honestly wouldn't know the difference), but they looked good to me.

I used to own and ride a Kawasaki 1100 GPZ and it was silly fast.... That bike developed around 140 HP, so God only knows what this beast does!!
