    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!

      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!

    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.

    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.

      There is no option for a 10-year driver's license in the country, but you can get 5 years when you renew.

    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!

    • @JohnnyFD
      @JohnnyFD  3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      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

    • @JohnnyFD

      Since I already have a US license, I got to skip the driving test part.

      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!

    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!
