Why on earth do you need a 3 liter 4wd pick up...
I got about 1000kg of unhusked rice over a couple of paddy dykes and through a ditch with mine last time I was there!

And maybe I'm actually 27 years old but like to post as an old man to laugh over the different reaction I get in comparison to my other user name.
This was, maybe not obvious enough, a joke. Unfortunately with posts you can't add the sarcastic tone that you wan't. To be honest I dont have anything against bikers but it seems the only people I've bumped into who had a big bike were inexperienced bikers who have bought there first bike in Thailand. This I consider a huge danger on the road.
If it's within arms reach, there's nothing to worry about!!

If you want to dress like a ninja-biker and also tow a boat, you'd have to get one of these Terry:

P index indicates Penang! Maybe they were just trying to survive in LOS as Malaysia is a little more subdued even if on 250's.

Do you would then assume that because someone has ridden a bike on predictive, over-regulated roads in Europe that they are instantly a better rider than a Thai?

Well I learned to ride bikes on the islands on Greece, no license test, just pure experience and knowing what works and what doesn't. Learned to use bikes with clutch on Koh Tao (Scramblers) a fair few years ago.

My first 'big' bike was in Thailand.
I guess the 1000+ times I've been getting on my CBR I've been unleashing hell-like dangers and doom upon other road users :roll: :roll: :roll:

Just for you here's a video. Massive 'dangers' here! My goodness we have two riders who haven't got a Euro / US bike license. Shock horror they are riding big bikes in Thailand zipping through Bangkok traffic, both above 250cc and getting where they need to go.
All the while while the cagers like yourself just sit in traffic jams looking bored :D
