SR400 is about the same price in Aus as in Thailand, same with Triumphs, Thailand is not as expensive as it used to be. Range though, is amazingly limited. Same with cars, wider range of cars in Laos and Cambodia than Thailand for similar or lower prices.

Cannot express what a great man he was, he suffered under the worst cruelty of the Japanese, yet was among the first to welcome them at the end of the war, the lessons that came from his tragedy made him the man he was. FRom Albo - He worked on the infamous Burma-Siam Railway, and after being sent to Japan he witnessed the dropping of the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki on the horizon. Far from producing bitterness, this experience politicised Tom and shaped his philosophy that he was to live by for the rest of his life. As part of Weary Dunlop’s force, he lived by what he described in his first speech as “the principle of the fit looking after the sick, the young looking after the old, the rich looking after the poorâ€. His philosophical approach to reconciliation was exemplified by his often used quote by Martin Luther-King: Hate is always tragic. It disturbs the personality and scars the soul. It’s more injurious to the hater than it is to the hated. Tom returned from the war and became a manager of Woolworths before he entered Parliament as the Member for Reid in 1958. He had a remarkable parliamentary career over the next 32 years which included serving as a Minister in both the Whitlam and Hawke Governments. He championed sustainability of both our natural and built environments and successfully campaigned for social justice and civil liberties.

Tom Uren, Great Australian, sad, really a hero. http://www.smh.com.au/comment/obituaries/tom-uren-prisoner-of-war-went-on-to-fight-for-social-justice-20150126-12y83z.html Former Whitlam minister and deputy Labor leader Tom Uren dies aged 93 Updated about 2 hours agoMon 26 Jan 2015, 3:42pm Media player: "Space" to play, "M" to mute, "left" and "right" to seek. VIDEO: ALP icon Tom Uren dies aged 93 (ABC News) PHOTO: Tom Uren aspired to be a professional boxer, but became best known for fighting the system. (AFP) MAP: Australia One of the Australian Labor Party's most iconic and prominent left-wing figures, Tom Uren, has died at the age of 93. The ALP stalwart and former prisoner-of-war was one of the ALP's most respected politicians, known for helping to establish the heritage and conservation movement in Australia. A member of Mr Uren's family said he had met his death "with the same character and courage he faced the rest of his life". They said a memorial service would be held in Sydney next week. Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten described Mr Uren as a "Labor giant". "Tom Uren was a giant of Australia, a giant of Labor - from his incredibly tough times as a prisoner of war through to his remarkable career as a Labor representative [and] a leading conservationist," he said. "Our thoughts are with his family. My thoughts are with my Labor colleagues who knew him really well." Tributes also came from the other side of politics, with Treasurer Joe Hockey saying he was "very sad to hear of Tom Uren's passing. He was widely admired as a very decent man, a beacon of integrity and a genuine true believer". Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Mr Uren had "served Australia throughout his adult life" and said flags would be flown at half-mast on the day of his memorial service. Wartime experiences propelled Uren into political activism The former Whitlam and Hawke government minister famously took on big developers, politicians and media heavyweights. Leave your tributes to Tom Uren here: Growing up in Sydney, Mr Uren aspired to be a professional boxer and fought for the Australian heavyweight title at the age of 20, but went on to be best known for fighting the system. A champion of Labor and the Left Tanya Plibersek pays tribute to Tom Uren, a politician who was always ready to speak out for the voiceless and the dispossessed. Born on May 28, 1921 in the then working-class suburb of Balmain, he experienced the poverty of the Depression first hand. A member of the Second Australian Imperial Force (AIF), Mr Uren was deployed to Timor during World War II. Taken by the Japanese as a POW, he worked on the Thai-Burma Railway and later witnessed the atomic bombing of Nagasaki from his POW camp in 1945. "It reminded me of those beautiful crimson skies of sunsets in central Australia but magnified about 10 times stronger," Mr Uren said in a 2008 interview with the ABC's Talking Heads.

(Greg Jennett: ABC News) His wartime experiences propelled him into a life of political activism and shaped his strong anti-nuclear views. Mr Uren took to the streets in opposition to nuclear weapons and Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War. Unafraid to challenge authority, he took a police officer to court for shoving him at a rally in Sydney, but the case was thrown out. Instead of paying an $80 fine, Mr Uren chose to serve 40 days in jail. History repeated in 1978 when he refused to accept bail after taking part in an illegal civil liberties rally in Brisbane. "Going to jail was a part of the protest against the immoral and unjust anti-march laws," Mr Uren said. Uren defied but also created legislation But Mr Uren did not just defy legislation, he set out to create it too. In 1958, he was elected to Parliament as the member for Reid and went on to serve the Sydney electorate for 32 years. When a Sydney newspaper suggested he had been asking questions in Parliament on behalf of the Russian ambassador, Mr Uren sued media tycoon Frank Packer. It sparked a six-and-a-half-year legal battle with Mr Packer who eventually settled out of court. Mr Uren spoke to Talking Heads about that time in his life. What made me? I think, really, the great strength of my mother. Former Labor minister, Tom Uren "First of all, it put a lot of grey hairs on my head and the costs were enormous back in those days too, and that used to worry me and I'd get depressed," he said. With the election of the Whitlam Government in 1972, Mr Uren became minister for urban and regional development. He created new national parks and set up the Register of the National Estate, which recognised natural, Indigenous and historic heritage places. "My position on the National Estate was that we should preserve things that were unique and beautiful and that we should retain it for posterity - things that were created by humans or by nature," Mr Uren said. He was deputy leader of the Opposition from 1976 to 1977 but was replaced by Lionel Bowen when Bill Hayden was elected leader. Under the Hawke Government, Mr Uren was left out of Cabinet and instead given the junior portfolio of Territories and Local Government. Activism continued after Parliament Mr Uren retired from Parliament in 1990 and continued his anti-war activities amid the Gulf War.

(AGNSW/Mirra Whale) He visited the Iraqi capital Baghdad to discuss the plight of Australians detained by Iraqi authorities and urged compromise to solve the impasse between Iraq and the United Nations following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. In 2013, Mr Uren received the Companion of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours List, for his work helping veterans and preserving sites of historic and environmental significance. Mr Uren is survived by his two children, Michael and Heather, and his second wife Christine. His first wife, Patricia Palmer, died of cancer in 1981. Mr Uren considered the breakdown of that relationship to be one of the biggest regrets of his life. When Talking Heads asked Mr Uren what made the man, he replied: "What made me? I think, really, the great strength of my mother, the principles that she put in me and the compassion she gave me".

Anchorman 2004 - not a great comedy but the scene where the 5 different news teams fight each other is good, many of the comedians well known, worth a giggle

Doctors have to cure patients, if they die, they can't get sick again can they.

Triumph have dropped their pricing in Thailand significantly, to the point where those looking for a cafe racer and the new Yamaha classic SR 400 could "Almost" be tempted to go the real thing and get a triumph, Pretty good move, http://www.britbike.co.th/Triumph_Motorcycle_Thailand,_Britbike/Price_List_ENGLISH.html Seriously, a 400cc Yamaha SR - nice bike, but, for 265 000 OR 420 000 - a Triumph, with all the same pedigree or better, double the CC? I'd go the Triumph, The Scrambler I see a lot in Ari area, it looks MUCH better in the flesh than these photo's which is very interesting.

I agree - nothing to do with Scotland NOW THIS HAS!!! By the way, when they say "Blind" do they mean drunk or can't see? A blind man has been arrested in Scotland after witnesses reported he sank his teeth into his guide dog’s head and then kicked the Labrador-retriever mix after it apparently wouldn’t help him across a busy street. A witness who said he saw the attack outside a busy shopping center in the Scottish capital Edinburgh reported the incident to police. After several days investigation, officers arrested David Todd, 34, on charges of cruelty to animals and breach of the peace. A police spokeswoman said the 8-year-old dog had been handed over to a charity dedicated to guide dogs. The alleged attack has outraged animal rights activists and the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, which provided Todd with the dog. Association spokesman Colin Gallagher said that Todd could lose his dog if he is convicted of the abuse charge. “Cases of abuse by owners on their guide dogs are few and far between, but we can withdraw the dog on a permanent basis,†Gallagher told the Edinbugh Evening News. If the dog is withdrawn, the association trains the blind person to use a white stick while walking, he said.

I wonder how the Rolling Stones bloke and that girl, mandy smith, common knowledge was 13, no one said a thing, thought it was great, and now, it's forgotten, who do they know that others don't? Beetles the same (NO DONT SAY THAT) groupies are young and stupid, and now? Makes you wonder, power is powerful, you can have anything you want, and many did,

Kewl, a North Korea thread!

Royal Enfield will have their new Thai shop open this month, pricing below the new SR 400 - so the retro fans will have some interesting choices. I still prefer the SR, the BUllet 500 can be a great looking bike
