Davo

Can highly recommend www.gracedentalclinic.com in Chiang Mai

We both had remedial work done, at 1/5th of NZ prices, very professional.

Cheap accommodation options all around

Cheers

Had a friend who got some serious work done in the Phillipines for 5k which included 2 weeks at a 4 star resort and flights. She said the same job here was around 8 to10k.
Last week i had a molar pulled for $320 and i'am still in pain. Probably will cost me another $300 just to find out he pulled the wrong one.

It's a freeway mate. Flat, smooth, prolly a bit dusty now with the heat. I travelled it last week, it was in great nick, but oddly I blew a fork seal on the XR (first one ever ). The boboyan rd has been in good condition for months now, I'm wondering what's going on? Anyway, I might use the same route meself.

Beware skippy, he's been rooting out there and his progeny are prolific at the moment.

Cheap Cruise Control from ADV vendor in US

I have just returned from a trip to Bathurst on my TDM. All up about 3,000 kays using the Go Cruise plastic cruise control that clips around the throttle and rests on the front brake lever. It was fantastic, except I broke one trying to adjust it. Fortunately, I had a spare. They are the duck's nuts; I even use them through towns to keep the speed steady, but they are fragile, and cost $25.

I was just looking in the vendors section and found this:
http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=839403

For less that $50 delivered (with the ADV discount) I reckon it's a bargain.
I'll let you know how it works when I get it.

Scoooters

My wife has expressed interest in learning to ride , I am thinking scooter for transport into town for low costs , minimal fuel , no parking fees , ease of use when dressed in a skirt , etc , etc .

So to this end , I am asking the amassed knowledge ( or lack there of ) if there are any stand out brands in the scooter world ?


proviso.
As I know virtually nothing about them , I want a CVT type transmission , adequate power for accelerating out of trouble and a reasonable start price , if all this costs as much as a DR 650 then they can keep it in my opinion . If it were for me I would be looking for a 2 stroke manual ( Vespa PX 200 ) , but I am sure my wife does not need one that has a power band and gears .
