There is a city legend in Russia: if you put a CD under a windscreen, it will cheat a traffic police speed gun (stupid, I know). But, in Thailand police uses radar guns rarely, mostly far outside cities and never inside. So, why Thais put bunches of old CDs on motorcycles? And why they prefer [...]

By this article I start “Stupid Tunings” series about stupid, senseless and funny modifications of Thai vehicles by Thai people. Let’s speak about number plates again. Do you agree: ugly “ears” of wide number plate, overhanging by sides of a rear mud guard, aren’t something perfect. If something looks unbeautiful (“mai suai”) – Thais apply [...]

I’ve written about Honda Chaly before, but I posted photos of beautifully tuned bikes. Some members of СhalyThailand.com shared photos of restoration process itself. As you can see, guys started from a completely dead bike, a real pile of scrap metal, and changed almost everything. I can’t call it “tuning” or “styling” – it’s a [...]

Unfortunately, most tunings of motorbikes are very common, because people use limited set factory produced parts. Fisrt 3-5 tuned motorcycles amaze you, next 10 glade you, then you become bored and don’t react to any new tunings.
Luckily, there are enthusiasts of tuning and styling who care about individualism of their motorcycles. I found a nice [...]

Honda Dax or Trail 70 or Daschund or ST70 – a guy from the Honda minibikes’ family. You can recognize it by a completely different frame with a streight pipe under a seat, a so-called “T-bone”. For me this bike looks a bit awkward. But Dax fans make very interesting mods and customs sometime, so [...]

We all know Honda rulez. They made several cult scooters and minibikes – Zoomer, Monkey-Gorilla-Ape, Chaly. They made very useful Wave, Airblade, Click. But, unfortunately, the icon of modern motor-generation was created by Yamaha. It’s the most trendy, most customisable, most different scooter, the Thai answer to Vespa. It’s Yamaha Fino! Look at pictures of [...]

Honda Zoomer is a 49cc scooter with a completely out-of-mainstream design. It’s not so popular in Thailand, but still available. You could see photos of this scooter in my “Honda on 30th BKK Motorshow” post. Also you could see one Yamaha Fino tuning, inspired by Zoomer design in “Yamaha: Yes! We are Different!” post. Yep, [...]

Asia is the motherland of minimalism. Of course, it has touched motorculture, Asia is full of minibikes. You can see farmers in Cambodia who drives they off-road. You can see housewifes in Japan who go by talking to friends. You can see crazy youngsters in Thailand who shows off with nice or sometimes weird tuned [...]

What is it? A half of a tractor? A big donut with a frame and an engine? Or some joke from motorcycle manufacturers?
First time I saw these bikes at Burapha Bike Show 2008 (place near Pattaya). There were big crowds of guys with those bikes, most of which were tuned in minimalism style – totally [...]

Here you will find about 70 photos from Honda section on 30th Bangkok Motorshow. For motorcycles lovers it was the best part of exhibition. I can wish to other companies to be creative, colorful and cool as same as Honda.
