Hi John and Lorna. Accidentally found your channel and amazed by your determination and speed of achieving your goals .
I moved to Chiang Mai from the Gold Coast too but originally from Sydney .
Permanently settled in Chiang Mai ,a place I first visited in 1980 and learnt to love .
Welcome to what I call Shangri La.
I'll follow your journey around Thailand and revisit via videos many places I've been to over the years. We live in San Sai and when you're around this area ,drop in.. Cheers,Tom
@@consulthai Thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated. I guess we've always been the types that once we have a plan we commit to actioning it 100,%.
We also did a fair bit of research before doing anything and put trust in those we have actioned the bigger things through. So far so good.
Let's catch-up for a coffee sometime.
An original theme I never seen before, great video. Was shipping your Harley to Thailand an option?
Thanks @Old2Quick for your comment much appreciated.
I thought about shipping our Road King over here but after looking into the importation duty cost of up to 70% based on the valuation here in Thailand I thought not. We were better off to buy here.
Awesome machine! Subscribed!
Thanks for your comment and your subscription much appreciated. We love our Harley.
Congratulations, have a great time over there
Hi thanks for your comment. We are loving life here for sure.
Welcome, nice Ultra
Ride safe in Thailand.
Thanks for your comment. Some interesting videos to come with the bike.
Hi congrats on your new and beautiful bike. I'd like to ask you a question.
I live in Europe, in Italy, and I would like to buy a new Road king special. I know that now the bikes are being built/assembled in thailand for the European market. I was a bit hesitant at first and under the impression that the bike arrived totally disassembled but I see now that the bike artives in a box and is 90% assembled. So what exactly do they assemble on the bikes for the European market?
Thank you so much for your time and patience. I really appreciate it as there isn't any info. On this topic. Have a wonderful journey with your wife.🙏
Hi thanks for the comment and well wishes. From my understanding (and you may have heard from a better source than me) Harley bring in the parts to Thailand and assemble the bike here (I'm not sure of the pre-assembly percentage but I'll ask next week when I call into Richco Harley here in Chiang Mai). What I've been told is the bike componentry is imported into Thailand as this helps in lowering the taxation on the bike.( But not by much. A lot more expensive here than in Australia). Also Harley sends bikes to China via Thailand. As you know many exports between the countries have come under trade sanctions recently. So having a Thailand plant helps keep the market afloat in that respect.
I only encountered one small problem on the day I picked the bike up and that was the gear shifter was positioned too low. I think being positioned for a smaller foot size than my size 12. 😂
Cheers John
So my wife is half thai we just left left thailand were back in the united states about to sell our home and moving to chiang mai with our children my question is im looking to buy a second hand Dyna and throw s&s 124ci on it can i ship parts from the states to the land of smiles?
You can ship parts from the States to Thailand. Plenty of that going on here. In fact I have a friend importing an S&S gear cam and other components at the moment.. But ... Be prepared for import Tax of around 30% to be added on arrival. That is of course if you're buying them afterwards.
You would have gathered that it's pretty much unviable to bring a complete bike into Thailand. Are you shipping any personal belongings over? If so get back to me.
Hey guys great video. Are these the same exact bikes that are built in USA and only assembled in thai? If so, what exactly do they assemble? Thanks
Thanks for taking time out to comment. Yes the exact bikes. They import the parts and assemble the bikes at the factory located in Ban Pluak Daeng, Rayong, Thailand. They assemble the full range with the exception of the Trikes (correct me if I'm wrong). Harley seem to have parts being make all over the globe these days and shipped to central assembly points for manufacture.
Thank you for your quick response. That's very reassuring. I was hesitating assoon as I found out they were being "Built not Assembled only" in Thai. Looking into a RKS myself. Have a great journey ❤
@@enrico1856 when I ordered my Ultra it was assembled to order meaning the dealer placed the order directly to the factory and it was delivered 2 weeks later. My first experience of having that happen.
Wow never heard of that before... Does that means it was completely assembled in USA ?
Awesome 😊
@@enrico1856 No, assembled in the Rayong, Thailand factory and shipped up to Chiang Mai. If it had come from the USA I'd probably only have received it.
Its good for the dealers as they don't have to hold the floor stock on the more expensive models. It's the same for the CVOs here.
Pay for a second key. Total BS
Pretty bad huh
