Also I want real quality parts on there not the cheapest Thai pattern parts.. I know that costs more (like a good jap import chain and sprokets runs near 4k but a Thai pattern part is a bit over 2k.. I am happy to pay for the quality parts but dont want to pay 4k for a 2k chain !!!)

I know theres bike arts on the Phuket town Rd past Lotus and theres a really good Thai guy near Chalong circle... Both of these require me going away then getting a taxi etc and returning the same..

Does anyone have a trustworthy reliable mechanic in Patong that can balance carbs, use the oil spec I say, do a proper job and not cut corners.. Basic English would be helpful..
when i was in samui got a flat on robb's motorbike, went to a shop and some 13yr old kid fixed it. robb almost crashed and dided the next day because it wasnt put back on properly
