I wasn't comfortable with this and swapped to a 150. Shame you're not local as I've got a barely worn 160 sat in the garage (but then you wouldn't have 35 degree temperatures)! :grin:

To be honest, i would love to have some UK weather right now, far to hot to ride the bike in the afternoons here at the moment.
As for the tyre, i think i made a good choice with the 150 bt090, it feels great and inspires confidence when cornering at speed :)
I have however had a little rubbing from the chain, i will adjust it again tonight (new chain, prob stretched a little) and see how i get on.
UK weather.. you'll need wets.. 3" of rain over the past couple of days. It's like being in the tropics during rainy season, but without the warmth

Sod the Tuk Tuk's the novelty wears off after a while, I prefer riding the VFR around and out of BKK, so does tyhe Mrs too. However i have considered buying a tuk tuk and putting a big bike engine in one, i am sure that would draw crowds of foreign customers on Kao San Road lol :D
