Thanks Karl. I'm terrible at editing but the content is everything. Glad you liked it. Many people have never been to rural communities in SE Asia so it's a glimpse of life in the farmlands.

I agree very much what you are writing about the music. This song is (!) touching and gets the right context here.

Thanks. I'm a biker for 40 years but not a great pillion passenger. Malee's brother was a great rider on dirt roads (I rode back). Not a single twitch or slide. I have another ride in Bokor, Kampot that I hope to edit and upload.

Correct. The house is west of Battambang. About 15 minutes ride from Kamping Puoy reservoir (which we passed in the film). maps.app.goo.gl/mw4u95RpE85shGSu8

It's extremely hot now but normally about 33c.

Thanks Les. Glad you liked it.

Everyone I met in Cambodia was very kind anf friendly and fun. Will be back soon.

Thanks Ken. I hope you liked it. I felt sorry for the doggy.

Close to Battambang and the killing cave and bat cave. maps.app.goo.gl/QcGNvWLrV58DKKiQ7

@EddieManning you're a lucky man. I haven't been to Cambodia yet but hope to go in the future. I met a woman on line that lives in Battambang and fell in love with her. She recently ended our relationship, and I am still heartbroken. She comes a relatively poor family, but they do well. She is 49, and all of her other siblings are married and doing very well. I wish I could tell you more. Thank you for the video, I am very interested in everything having to do with Cambodia, especially Battambang. I was in a relationship with her for about 10 months. And I understand why she had to move on. She's been divorced for many years and lives with her father in Battambang on the outskirts of town. She's looking for a man to marry and hopefully take her to America. Her daughter is married to an American and is still working on getting her visa to come here. I apologize for this message being so scattered, I have a lot on my mind. Thanks again for the video and I hope maybe we can talk or communicate with each other. Jim

Thanks. They are kind people.

Have yet to ride the ADV160. Would expect the new 160cc to be about the same.

@@EddieManning I'm actually at my Honda dealership right now looking at the ADV 160. Lovely bike. 👍

Thanks. Yes! In November 2021 I added a Samsung SmartTag to the bike. Just replaced the battery after 1 year (CR2032) and it still showed sufficient power. Great little devices.

D worst part is. I dunno why apple tag got all d bad press say can use to stalk girls. The samsung tag quietly can do the same thing but not reveal in d news. O well. I like both as insurance to my car and bikes. Great review btw! Hope u do follow up adventure story on ur adv150 for us

Thanks. I tried to keep it as short as possible while going over everything about the bike.

Good choice. I hope you're enjoying your ADV. I think that that variator/clutch Rollers are pretty much a same upgrade kit. You would need to talk with each workshop as to if there are any differences. Set by Sar in Bangkok were very good and seemed really professional. They had machine shop and customisation services too.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Even after riding in London for many years it took me a while to get used to Bangkok traffic. Most scary are the other riders such as Grab and Food Panda who ride like maniacs!

Expensive helmets more likely to be stolen. Most helmets have a secure fastener that clips under the seat to secure it. Most scooters have space under the seat for a helmet. Open face helmets cost about $25 US Dollars. Rarely stolen. Thailand is quite safe in most areas.

@@EddieManning Thanks Eddie! One of my dream destinations to live is Thailand. It's nice to live vicariously through you buddy. ;)

@@Trekopolis thanks. I've got so much more film to edit but struggle to find the time. Thailand has so many interesting and fun aspects. Beautiful nature, parks, beaches and epic rides.

Police laziness until they want money

Thanks for watching and commenting. Got to respect Maui Jims! Best shades and customer service in the world. When Road riding use uvez plastic and visor down on helmet. Flip flops are Crocs and excellent grip when climbing mountains too. When doing road trips wear boots or shoes with ankle protection. I learned the hard way when 17yrs old and have the titanium (and arthritis) to prove it. Please preach elsewhere. See your thumbnail but why no content on your channel? My review was filmed in a car park at slow speed. Have you been or are you in Thailand?

@@EddieManning Been riding 40 years, been to Thailand and SEA ~20 times and own 4 pairs of ,Maui Jim's. You're not setting a good example and you're silly to argue.

there’s always one. Keep up the good work. Loved the video. Cheers

No I didn't try the bike with only the cvt modification. The exhaust mod is sure to allow greater gas flow and they appear to have removed restriction in the silencer too. The flange on the pipe at the exhaust manifold end was all new. Very professional job.

@@EddieManning I see, it looks and sounds like great work!

Thanks for watching. The ADV150 has a 12v power outlet that a USB adaptor can be used in. Of course a power bank is good if your bike doesn't have a power outlet.

Possibly, depends on the workshop. The drive modification weights for sure as for many people that could be done by themselves. Simply ordering the weights would be possible.

Thanks Paul. The box and rack came as a dealer fitted option and can be purchased separately. The box is GIVI and is water tight, secure and can be carried like a case. Don't know the size in litres but it was perfect for trips. It latches on to the rack easily. Cost to have the rack fitted and supply of box just over 4,000 Baht.

Pirelli Angels

The Pirellis seem a bit more grippy and give confidence. It's not a 250kmh sports bike so probably not essential. Still good to have the reassurance. Suspension makes the difference but no speed bumps are any good.

@@EddieManning Thanks for the quick response. Tried putting Angels on my PCX. Front fitted perfectly but rear was just too close to mudguard for comfort. Looking forward to as less jarring ride on the ADV. The Honda factory is here in Jkt so they are cheap, around 87,000 THB 😀 Cheers 👍🏻 BTW I used to have the Kawasaki DTracker with mods, great for rough SE Asia roads but expensive on clutches in city life. Have a good one 🙏🏻

@@celynjones4958 Did you end up buying the ADV 160?

@thailandstreetscenes Yep. Had it since Aug last year. Very happy with it.

@@celynjones4958 awesome to hear. any negatives? and how does it compare to the PCX? I'm quite close to buying the bike . any further info would be helpful

The dealer bought from was WorldSpeed in Pathum Thani just north of Bangkok. The manager is Tad and he spoke excellent English. "เวิลด์สปีด" / "มอไซค์ฮอนด้า" / ศูนย์บริการมอเตอร์ไซค์รังสิต / ข้างเทศบาลนครรังสิต +66 2 959 2500 maps.app.goo.gl/FdWg4qZswygCBPr67

Thanks Max. You won't regret buying an ADV.

Thanks. It's a great bike. Really enjoy touring on it. Now planning another trip to southern Thailand for Feb 2022. Hope your trips are fun and safe.
