Hello From Thailand

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Marvalo, Jul 26, 2023.

  1. Hello everyone I've just got my dream bike a Streetfighter V4s 2020.

    I'm from Croydon originally I got my first bike when I was 19 a TZR125 but stopped riding after about 2 years and then decided to do the big bike licence back in 2017. I then got a Monster 696 2014. 3 years ago I moved to Thailand and got a Z900. Picked up my V4s 3 weeks ago and I love and respect this bike but its taking some time to get used to.

    There are some things on the V4s that I want to understand so I'm hoping to get some help from this forum.

  16. Yes it can be challenging, but first thing is to adapt to the way thai people drive. i.e. no helmet, sometimes wrong side of the road, and even no lights. I do life saver checks continuously on the bike and walking :joy:

  17. I'm based in Hanoi, but we own a property near Hoi An, and I am frequently in Nha Trang, as I am running a project there.
