|  650XJ Special, my ride in Asia
Hi folks, I'm a middle aged bikeenthusiast, that spent the last 12 years in a variety of asian countries such as Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Malaysia. After a lengthy period of residency in Thailand I did move to Malaysia. The bike in below pic has accompanied me on countless miles to each and every province of Thailand, into (!!!!) Burma and Cambodia for the last 6 or 7 years. Soon I will be assigned a new task in Indonesia in the outskirts of Jakarta and will take the bike with me. A lot of parts may have come to the end of their lifespan (e.g. the rubberfixtures between carb and engine). Does anyone know of a partsdealer that ships to Asia? I would also really like to have a manual or shopliterature on that bike (pdf would be perfect). Should anyone be interested in temporarily importing a bike to a southeastasian country, I may be able to help them from own experiences made and collected. Malaysia unfortunately won't allow a bike over 150 ccm into the country without a lot of red tape, their biker scene looks more like this: YouTube - Malaysias Wild Boys - Bikermeeting Checkout my other vids here, they mainly show dreambeaches and life in asia (yes, a neat girlieclip is also there, no porn though!) YouTube - Malayfrank's Channel There are, however a few Bigbikes in the country - but most of them are being driven by superrich kids and showstars, not exactly my cup of tea    So far for my introduction, please contact if You have any of the literature I need or if You know partsdealer willing to ship overseas. Best of luck to all folks on 2 wheels! Frank |
