I don't need a bike...I need a BOAT!

You probably heard that the flood situation in Thailand is pretty bad. Whole regions North of Bangkok have been flooded for weeks now and the water masses are nearing the capital. Yesterday I went to visit my sister in law on the Eastern outskirts of Bangkok where large parts of her neighbourhood were already submerged.

Soon it might be time for me to lift my SR to higher ground and go 'omega-racing' in a boat!

What's going on inside a BMW S1000RR?

Ever wondered what was going on inside the engine of your bike when you
would ride the shit out of it? Well, watch this video and you might get an idea.

This video shows an operational cutaway of a BMW S1000RR — a 193HP superbike — bumping against its 14,200RPM redline. A cam and valvetrain at 118 cycles per second is an amazing sight (and sound)

New Bike That Runs On Poop!

The Japanese are amazing people. After the Big 4 it's now time for Toto's poop bike. Yes, you heard right...a bike (a trike, actually) that runs on poop, or faeces if you like. Similar to the famous Delorean in "Back to the Future", but can you travel in time propelled by your farts?

SR with book FOR SALE

From now on I will post interesting classified ads of bikes and interesting parts based here in Thailand. The ads I'll feature here all have a Green Book, meaning they are legally registered. How 'legal' those books are is for you to find out and I take no responsibility for them. Check out my previous post regarding buying an SR and the whole Green Book story. HERE
I'm in no way associated with any seller. These posts are purely for your information.

Fact Or Fiction?

Well, personally I don't think it's real, but it sure as hell looks real. Kudos to the SFX guy!

SR at the Temple

Went for a short trip with my wife and ended up at a nice temple.

Bike of the Week 12

Maybe you were like me and thought the Yamaha Virago was a very boring bike. Well, it was, but sometimes  a beautiful swan can come out of an ugly duckling.
This here is a 750cc 1981 model, beautifully rebuild by Haaksbergen in the Netherlands. I think it looks great!

SR Thailand Meeting

If you live in Thailand and you own a Yamaha SR, you probably heard of the online community at srthailand.com. They've only been active since 2009, but they can already count on a substantial following of SR enthusiasts.
On December 3rd, the 2nd SR meeting will gather some of the best SR's in Thailand. It will be held in Suphanburi at a presently unspecified resort. More details will follow soon...
I know, I won't miss it!
