Buying accessories from Thailand?

[sICkbOi-dOt-cOm]

If im not wrong... Bikes not allowed on highways at thailand and cubs accesories yes they have alot... all they put inside big basket.. u go there pick urself what u like.. But they only have limited models for accesories.. They major on Auto-Cubs.. Like nouvo and other Semi-auto cubs... If anyone needs the address.. I'll be glad to let u have a copy of the name cards that i collected... Cheers!

[williamleesg]

wow,tat's cool,i'm riding a nouvo elegance,how i hope i can go there now but now is not the rite time yet,too dangerous..

[cupcai]

Yes...all bikes are not allow onto their hi-way..

 

My oppinion is, its not really dangerous if you're not at the main protest zone..which is near the King Palace area..or Sanam luang..

[mild_slevin]

if u like to put it that way... yeah?

 

that's cool, must be fun doing so?

[thrasher]

haha.... i'm still into the idea of going up there in whole big bunch of cubs. just not now ah. my bike is not in the right condition to take the beating of super long distance ride. haha

[SkY]

if you guys going let me know, i would like to go too, i would bring along gps so we will not get lost.

 

Travel there on R1 before with about 6 stops it took us about 12 hrs

Why not guys ?

I did 6000kms on stock rims and tyres.

Only changed my 2 tyres in Hatyai before coming back to SG cuz it's cheaper than Malaysia and Singapore.

 

As long ur tyres are not worn out or old, they'll be fine.

Riding extended periods of time will make most tyres hot and sticky.

Reason why many tyres fail to grip is due to not achieving optimum operating temp.

[Thai_R]

I will open invitation to anyone willing to ride on a cub or even other makes.

But u got to make sure u will attend the ride and not just raise hands blindly if u cannot commit.

 

Most prob the ride will commence on a Mon night at 9pm from Tuas Checkpoint.

Ride will take appr 14hrs.

Will stop at every major R&R at about 80km interval for fuel and drinks for about 15mins.

Every 2 R&R will stop for about 30mins.

Riding speed about 90-100kmph.

Will prob reach thai border about 10-11am. Reach Hatyai about 12pm.

 

Stay for 3 nts at about 600-700baht a night.

Either single, double or twin sharing.

Food wise no problems. Got many halal food stalls around.

Girls wise also no problem. ( come on lah dun act virgin ok )

 

Expenditure for now i can safely quote S$100 for fuel/snacks/drinks for round trip.

Assuming 1L = 30km

SG to HDY = 900+km

HDY to SG = 900+km

Give and take 2000km in all.

Fuel needed = 2000/30 = 67L @ RM2.50 per litre (?) = RM170

RM30 for snacks and drinks.

RM30 for insurance.

This is a rough guide only. Could be more or less.

 

Daily expenditure depends on each individual.

 

Depart on Fri morning about 8am. Reach SG about 2am on Sat morning.

 

Gears. I will not be strict but it's ur own skin.

Full face recc. If not open face with face mask aka balaclava.

Gloves either $1 SSDC type or full race leather gloves.

Raincoat minimum else jean jacket or touring jacket or race leathers.

Jean minimum else touring pants or race leathers.

Covered shoes/boots or race leathers.

Brains (must be in working condition).

 

1 month before ride will hold meeting.

Maybe will collect payment for hotel rooms too in case ppl wanna put aeroplane.

 

This is not finalized so there might be changes as and when deemed necessary.

 

Thanks.

[rizaldinho]

alright now we have a leader.

[thrasher]
