5 mins of my ride to the store, the guys with yellow vests are taxi bikes (and they drive like sh&t) I just went slow trying the camera zipties to the basket. I wish you could see the speed bumps but just take my word if the bike hits a bump, and the camera jerks a bit that is what it was. This took like half the night to load.

I saw that car try to take you out about halfway through...
What are those alleys, about 5 feet wide?
Hats off to you, sir, because that looks pretty stressful. Thanks for sharing.

well top end speed isn't much of an issue, I honked at the dude but he still kept going. It's okay, you get used to that. The bigger issue is the little soi (street) where it is like 3.5 feet wide most the way and someone comes the other way, damm those mirrors are getting scratched up. I wish the whole video would have posted at the end I was in the motorcycle parking lot. You could have seen 100 other scooters too (no Zoomers though). Actually once you get used to it it isn't that stressful.
Kids riding at night with no headlight and very fast now that is some stress espy. when they go around you when you are turning right (a right is like a left, in this country) and dont honk or anything. I almost clocked one a few nights ago ahole.
There is a pretty good soi 2 streets over where there are no speed bumps and 2 nights ago I topped the speedo out for the first time with me and my girl on it, I weigh like 150 and she is about 95 lbs so, as the bike could be as old as a 2001 (I am getting the feeling more and more, it is 2002 but that is another story), I think it is doing okay. It is the first time I opened it all the way up for any length of time. Still that soi is maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 mile and it doesn't go anywhere so I really miss driving the way you guys get to.
I am not allowed to go on real streets no plate on 50cc here and no licence.

That looks so much like mexico... i mean like if you hadn't told me it was Bangkok, I would have sworn it was Mexico...
i have been on a couple rides there, and it can be scary sometimes.
