Torneyboy Posted June 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Says flyonzewall: >>>The reason I think motorcycle guys make more is that they do not need to rent their motorbikes and their gas costs are much lower<<< problem though is that a lot of them have to buy their motorcycles on credit with monthly installments - and that is huge. a new bike which on cash costs around 60 K will cost on credit somewhere around 100 K. and the work is dangerous. Costs around 60K? What type of bike? i have bought 3 Honda Dreams over the past 2 years and all 38-42K each . From a dealer in a village just north of Chiang Rai.

MaiLuk Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 But without one, you are prone for a baht fine from the traffic po-lice, on that score half a plastic "helmet" is good for your wallet, Phom kit mak, but I worry about getting head lice, would rather pay the fine for the driver if caught.

Pianoman Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 As far as upkeep on my taxis, Drivers do the regular scheduled stuff like oil changes, tune-ups, etc... Semi-Major repairs (up to 3,000 baht) we split 3 ways (myself and the two drivers)... Anything over 3K I pick up... Insurance is realitively cheap...
