Always buy the best gas you can for your bike! 92 octane gas and put stabilizer in the gas to keep it clean’ and wait till it warms up before you ride it it should help Johnny, Don Los Angeles California I was a motorcycle mechanic for years on those Japanese bikes! The 4 stroke scooters are pretty reliable but DONT let gas sit for months!
Johnny, you're a successful nomad....get yourself a new bike with warranty.....used are not worth the headaches..spend $1500 or so and just do it............not worth the headaches...btw, should you have an accident and not have a valid license, your travel insurance will not cover you usually..so that's a reason to be legal.
Having a license, if you insure is a must, any accident by someone who hasn't a license, insurance will not pay !! Craps are sign something i wrong Johnny
Getting a driver's license in Thailand is very easy if you have a USA or Europe license. I walked in, showed them my USA license, 100 baht medical cert, and copy of my O Visa page. I took an easy eye/reflex test, watched a 1 hour video and paid 205 baht. Walked out with 2 year license in less than 1.5 hours. The renewal for the 5 year year (did this a couple weeks ago), was even easier. Walked in, gave them my 2 year Thai license, updated medical cert (100 Bhat) and copy of my visa, took the same eye/reflex test and paid 505 baht. I was suppose to watch a one hour video online but it was not working on my phone....so they just said to watch it sometime when I have time...hahaha. I did both by myself and it was very easy.....but, I live in remote province with very few foreigners so they are always happy to help the lost American. Great people working at the land transport department and they speak a very high level of English!!!
Thanks for the detailed info - good to know! The problem here is that it’s busy, and it takes a lot of leg work to gather all the documents, get the appointments etc.
It is acting like it's not getting enough fuel, if it has a carburetor the needle valve could be sticking due to varnish buildup reducing fuel flow to a trickle until the needle breaks free and drops. If that's the case a good cleaning will solve it! As cheap as labor and parts are there I would rebuild the carburetor just to be on the safe side!
The main things are you need a residency certificate or letter from an embassy + a medical certificate. Getting a residency certificate will depend on the Immigration office - I've read that some won't issue them to tourists.
Good idea to have some physical test to see if you are fit to drive. I havent taken any test since 1984 but then it was written and behind the wheel test. So your behind the wheel test is in a room? We had to drive real car. I was wondering how you test without a car
I've been getting those weird cramps too on my right side. But it feels like a charley horse right near my ribs. Let me know if u find out what yours is. Mine does it if I sneeze or bend over or something.
Don't forget Johnny travels alot and will most likely move back to Ukraine when the wars over. Alot easier getting rid of a cheap bike then an expensive one.
Sound is good mic Johnny can't even get 2 minute noodles for $2 here - love to live there cheap simple life new motorcycles would be affordable there gives you peace of mind it won't break down as much long term subscriber Australia 🇭🇲 ❤
You are not funny and 'Gone' is a verb not a pronoun. Just wAit until he takes away your benefits as happened on January 28 and he was forced to rescind his order., A Federal judge immediately ruled his actions unconstitutional. The word 'gone can be used as a verb, adjective or preposition, NOT a pronoun. Go back to school, DannyH77!
Well you're either a professional race car driver, or a terrible one that thinks they're decent. No one in between uses their left foot to brake. That's a fact.
About you saying you're fat. Did you ever consider doing a little fasting and lo intense work outs like walking long distances, like 24h fasting once or twice a week and walking 3x45 minutes a week? Edit: generally cutting down a tad on carbs and reducing suger consumption 80% on top of such a regime would work wonders I betya! Take care Johnny!
Keto works ...no carbs or sugar...-32 kilo here !! Without any special fitness or anything...just eat the delicious vegetables, salad, and meat...drink water and coffee....in months you will lose a lot of kilos and excess fat.
Hi! We was in Jomtien, soi 11 we moved last week, Been at the same hotel 3 times 10 times in Thailand since 2007. Wtf happened with this place🙈too many Ruzz high on coke😅or themselves.. sorry.. Keep up your work videos we ❤️it☝️👏
Johnny saying i hurt my abs,what abs😂😂😂😂

Good advice!
Maybe dirty fuel filter. Wrong use of the choke. Bad battery, if there even is one.
Your Honda is way more reliable and cheaper to fix than a Porsche Cayenne!
Its seems to work kinda same way then the Porsche as in not starting properly. 🤣
Low on gas eh@j.p.h.8126

He buys them so he can easily get rid of it in a couple months when he leaves

I heard you can ask for a 10 year license if youre under 50
@mixalis6168 I am over 50
There is no option for a 10-year driver's license in the country, but you can get 5 years when you renew.

hey bro..i saw Sharkey there in the crew that went up stairs with you. He's a LEGEND in certain circles
Do you know what the visa requirements are? I assume that you can’t get a license will being here on a Visa Exempt status ??
The main things are you need a residency certificate or letter from an embassy + a medical certificate. Getting a residency certificate will depend on the Immigration office - I've read that some won't issue them to tourists.
Glad you got your bike started Johnny. That go pro is crystal clear. 🙂👌

Since I already have a US license, I got to skip the driving test part.
Cool JohnnyFD!
Officially licensed in Thailand!
By car...😉
Don't get a car, just get a motorcycle licence!
Enjoy!
I've been getting those weird cramps too on my right side. But it feels like a charley horse right near my ribs. Let me know if u find out what yours is. Mine does it if I sneeze or bend over or something.
Off topic Johnny, but your laughter is just like my husband's😂
Do you have a sd card in that dji mic already? If the connection cuts, it still records the backup sound.
Yes I think that’s a benefit of the DJI, verses my iPhones external mic
Good job!!! See u on the road!!
Thanks! Hopefully I won’t cause too much chaos on the roads, haha!
@JohnnyFD Now we can road rage together!!! 🤭🤭😲👍
LOL that was Sharkey at the DMV
Hey, that’s Tim Sharky @17:35 quite a bit changed the look
Johnny, get your bike license and get a great bike. Thanks for uploading . Love your videos.
Thanks for watching!
Don't forget Johnny travels alot and will most likely move back to Ukraine when the wars over. Alot easier getting rid of a cheap bike then an expensive one.

We were riding in a basket, how fun. I somehow never noticed the tatoos on your arm before. Wonder what they say
Thailand road trip vlogs would be great!
That's a great idea!
I think u are leaving the choke on too long. And make sure u turn it completely off.
Johnny $150 for a Driver License wow that seems very expensive.
The license itself is cheap, it's everything else along with it, I'll break it down in the next video.
@JohnnyFD Thanks Johnny and also please explain if an actual driving road test is required, however I believe you said it is not.
Good one Johnny. You only have a bike, so you get a car licence.
Haha first things first I guess 😅
wow that looked easy haha. :D just bring money and you will pass
Come on Johnny...splurge on a better scooter! Not a high end, but at least an electric start reliable one just a couple years old.
I know it’s a bit of a clunker, but it gets me around for now!
Hey Johnny. I just watched your video taking a refuge train out of Ukraine. Lol
Congratulation Johnny❤ Happy Chinese New Year🎉
BREAKING NEWS:: Trump just announced new pronouns for democrats They/Gone 😮
Replaced by Nazis... yay

@@susiejakes3019 respect the new pronouns like a good democrat should
You talk major garbage. Please ho bk to sleep @susiejakes3019
Do car owners have to get insurance? Traffic looks pretty insane. I'd stick with the bike and don't film while driving it!
Red Green Blue? 😅😅
Hahhaa you knew what I meant 😅
the french guys are used to driving stickshifts, we use both feet lol whats the issue
Uh. I also drive stick. You don't use your left foot to step on the brake...only the clutch.
@@JohnnyFD Why does it matter LOL silly americans
Well you're either a professional race car driver, or a terrible one that thinks they're decent. No one in between uses their left foot to brake. That's a fact.
Did you really pay someone to wait in line for you? I would have never thought of that.
Basically yes 😅

Hahahaha this guy always makes me laugh......😁🤣😂
Yeah, buy a car. Try and get a soviet, bald & bankrupt approved car. :D
👍🏻👍🏻
Buying an old vehicle is always a headache.
😂👍🙏

Buy a small pickup and haul your bike with.

It's uncompareable. =)
Congrats!
