Riding home a couple of weeks ago, flat out down the expressway there on the Mio, the drive belt broke rather dramatically leaving me coasting along. Luckily I managed to drift round the big corner there onto Ramintra and made it to the motorbike taxis, where I got one to push me to a little bike repair shop about 1km up the road. Anyway, they repaired it, purposefully showing me an original Yamaha drive belt they would fit, and other parts they said were original. It took maybe an hour, during which time I watched the traffic etc, not paying that much attention to what they were doing. I paid 900 Baht for it, which I thought, having had this replaced before, was a lot, but hey, what're you gonna do when you're stuck, and set off. It felt a bit tight, which I concluded must be just the new belt and it would loosen up a bit in a few days. Well, it didn't, and last week it started making noises, so I took it to where I would normally go, and they took the back end apart, revealing a copy drive belt (which was already fraying!) and copy bits. Not the original Yamaha parts I thought I was getting. They replaced the parts, again, with original ones, the bill this time coming to 550 Baht. I'm not particularly pissed off at the 900 Baht, that's a tank of petrol on my other bike, but I'm really pissed off that they took the trouble to actually show me original Yamaha parts, and when my back was turned, they did the slight of hand thing and shafted me, with big, smiling, lying faces, and probably had a good laugh afterwards. Well, this time, I'm not going to forget it. It's just one time too many. This will cost the motherf*ckers more than the skanky 900 Baht they think they got away with stealing from me.

Am soon going to thailand to stay 9-11 months and am wondering if it better for me to rent a motorcycle or to buy a used one? Also, are some brands better than others or is there something i need to be aware of when choosing a motorcycle? am also looking for to get a thai visa but it seems like it is hard to get that these days. I think i will start with a tourist visa but am not sure how long time i can stay with that type of visa.

I have always wanted to buy motorcycle but never come to final decision but from yesterday event it made me think again so I bought loads of motorcycle mags this evening and I found below 2 brands that I quite like it. Actually, I like big bike, Vespa and Lambretta style but their price cost me a fortune and for big bike would probably not suit me because of my legs aren't that long and I am not get used to ride motorcycle with clutch. From all mags I bought today, there are loads of cool modify colors & style for Honda PCX and they all look stunning and tempting! I still have not check how much it cost yet but I would like to have some advice from you guys which one is a better choice between above two. PS : I prefer 125cc or higher. Thanks a million.
