🚲 How about the name " Letty B." as in "let it be" as in kinda Sabai? Peace, brother! I'll be your neighbor a little south of Surin in about a month or so. Enjoy the elephant festival this weekend ! Hey, I almost forgot, I think it might be a good idea to get a blessing on your new bike. It couldn't hurt !

[@NativeFarang]

Ahhh I like that! We have decided on just Lettie 😅 Oh nice, wish you all the best with the move! Camila suggested we get the bike blessed but I thought it's more for new vehicles but we'll see 😅🙏

[@nigelkestell8972]

Never laughed so much in my life😂. Sak’s first time on a bike was January.. took him to the school sports pitch.. one hour later had him,me and 2 kids .. So proud of him considering the last thing he got on was a friggin buffalo and he fell off that!! Think you won’t be at home much now Camilla..better get used to babysitting Nat!!

[@NativeFarang]

Ahhh that's brilliant, love that, well done Sak! A buffalo is next on our list 😝😂 Haha we'll see!

You'll be doing stoppies (hard front break lift the back wheel, bonus points for a pivot without putting your feet down) *Lighting it up on the spot, (diesel helps, worst case dishwash liquid). There may have been a civic back in the day in NZ that used the window wiper pumps to pump diesel on the front wheels, it may have worked very well 🤣 Pumps where cheap at the wreakers. *Make sure you have PPE when you do your first seat stand *Jumping the scooter with some flair *Learn to launch it for drag races *Hopping on poles with the back wheel might be unachievable on that thing. Parts on Lazada are vast for bikes, pimp it out. Ghetto rig it, cable ties, duct tape, NOS in a whipped cream charger, You'll be the cool mum in no time, pulling a wheely out of day care

[@NativeFarang]

Hahaha I think we'll stick to the basics for now. 😅😂

Awesome and smart decision to get a bike and cool vlog!👍I've been riding strictly bikes for 12 years and riding around Thailand on a bike every time I visit. Some of my favorite memories. However, no disrespect intended at all, here are a couple quick facts...In Thailand, about 20,,000 people die in motorcycle-related accidents each year, which is about 74% of all road deaths. This makes Thailand the country with the highest rate of motorcycle-related deaths in the world. 90% of the 20,000 people who die in road accidents each year are on motorcycles and not wearing a helmet. I ALWAYS wear a helmet. I recently wiped out on a oil spill on the road and had some minor injuries but, my head hit the pavement and guess what?....I am alive. I pray you guys wear hemets! Again, no disrespect intended, this is from love, caring and genuine concern. Take care and keep the kickass content coming🤘 Much Love!❤😊

[@NativeFarang]

Appreciate the concern, we'll all definitely be wearing our helmets when we use the bike. This was just a short, slow practice around the block 🙏 Thank you so much 😊

[@CannabisKayakClub]

Great reply, man! I agree with you 100%!👍

Hi Nat and Camila, great idea getting a scooter. I would be lost without mine. Looks like you got a bargain there. The headlight of all motor cycles should come on automatically as it enables other motorists to see you better even in daylight. I believe that it is also a legal requirement here. Don't forget to get a m/c licence as well as your car licence as there are often spot checks even in rural areas and the fines have recently gone up for not having the correct licence. As others have mentioned you must get into the habit of wearing helmets even for short trips around the block, as you may be driving safely but others might not be and your life could depend on it. I had an accident on mine about 12 years ago when I was hit by an 18 wheel truck. My head was fine but my ankle shattered. I was only 500 metres from home. I would not have been alive if I had not had a helmet. I know that you will both enjoy your new toy as I do mine. By the way, I had never ridden a motor scooter until I came to Thailand, but soon got used to riding one as will you Camila. God bless you both and the girls and keep you all safe. 😀❤🙏

[@brucewayne2773]

I totally approve of such a great purchase , may all your trips be a safe one 🙏. Did someone get an early birthday gift 🚴‍♀

[@NativeFarang]

Thank you Bruce! We'll definitely make sure to be extra careful on the bike 🙏 And yes we let Mallory have her present early as we have a busy weekend when her birthday actually is, with it being Loy Krathong and the elephant festival 😅🙏

We're all excited to have a new bike 😁 She's got an international driving license but now she's actually going to be driving we're going to get her Thai license. She didn't want to drive the car so we didn't get her license changed before 🙏

@NativeFarang Thailand has car drivers license and separate scooters drivers license.

@@NativeFarang It always breaks my heart in Thailand seeing so many little kids being driven around on motorbikes without crash helmets. There's a reason that Thailand has the world's highest mortality rate amongst motorcyclists!

Country road is not too bad. Most Thai people are not really bothering to wear it, but it's a choice nowadays. In the big city and in Bangkok, yikes! Must wearing a helmet.🪖 for sure.
