I am not advocating reckless riding at all. I think riding wheelies on public roads is just a stupid and thoughtless idea. That being said this is the same bike I ride in SE I’m guessing. They are riding double in typical SE Asian style. knock off ADIDAS flip flops, shorts and a T shirt. When I ride I can feel the front end rise up getting out of 1st gear and then again into 2nd gear. The stock gearing is rather low with a little oomph. I’m still not going to pull the front end up. I would see this kind of riding on the weekends on my Soi in bkk. Mainly high school age males. They would see how far back they could lean and almost be horizontal to the road with their back. Hanging their ass off the back of the scooter. Never seen it on main roads. I think the boys in brown would have their ass.

The Boys in Brown AKA Bangkok Traffic Cops. Not sure I ever seen a police car.

They do have nice bikes even if they dress like they are on the CHIPS TV show.

Man this was when pot head chick were hot. Well 3 or of 4 of them were. The drummer looks like a bad tranny.They suffered from Wilson Philips syndrome. Although I’d have done Carney Wilson just because she was Brian Wilson’s daughter. Also she does see fun and nice in interviews. With a touch of crazy of course.

Most of their videos were good. They were on Grand Royal Label of Beastie Boys fame. Beasties might hold a record fro most consecutive videos that didn’t blow ass.

I now have blinkers and a horn. I should be able to pass an inspection and get plates tomorrow. Woo Hoo.

It did fine. I took the longway downtown and back. waiting on parts from Honda. Should get here on Tue. I paid an arm and a leg for a horn and turn signal relay(to make the blink) Should be all I need for a safety inspection. I really need plates on it. Not that a STLPD would make a big deal about it.(hopefull)

About 30 minutes ago I had my foot on my sub speaker while playing music. I felt my foot vibrate and I paused the music. I still felt it. Thought it was a seizure for a second.

I just got insurance then I have to get the turn signals and tail light working before plates. It runs great. Minor body damage from someone laying it down. Nothing real bad, but since its original it does hurt to see it cracked and dented. The places its damaged is in places were the stock paint is so replacement would mean new paint. Also came with the cheap Chinese aftermarket tires. The guy had tore everything apart and cleaned, lubricated, and tuned it all. The knee guard and mirrors are aftermarket chinese made as well.

heres the flickr set with more pics.

I hope it runs well enough to buy. I really want this bike.

Flickr just added the option to upload video. The quality seems up to par compared some of the other embedded flash sites. I’ll have to upload something soon and compare them myself with vimeo.com or viddler.com. Flickr requires you to have a pro account to upload videos. Limits you to 90 seconds of video max size of 150 MB. Also not sure if there is a video resolution limit either. I don’t know. It seems to be a basic flash player. I know an HD video uploaded to vimeo looks great scaled down to the standard flash video size on a webpage. Also looks great up scalled on my 1920 X 1200 screen too. The flickr videos look good on my notebook in full screen. Not sure what they will look like on my desktop monitor at 1920.

I guess I’m that much closer to watching TV on my wrist watch. Except the future is always a bit askew. I’m sure it will be some phone that has a 3 to 5 inch wide screen lcd. If you think thats too small then consider how many damn videos of kids kicking each other in the nuts you’ve watched on a youtube size screen.
