[Good Quality Protein?]

One of the best sources of complete protein is eggs. All of the necessary amino acids that your body need are present in eggs.

Once again thanks for the input but I am well aware of quality food which is my main source.  I cook for myself.  Eggs, fish, Chicken and a ton of veg and some complex carbs.

I was asking about powder as it is a good tool for pre workout and in between longer meal gaps.  I am not looking to replace what I already rely on.

 

I have what I need.

 

I will stick to the motorcycle section I think!

I use this in shakes. But it's not whey.

Thanks.  But usually plant based products are usually ultra processed.

I only eat protein that isn't ultra processed food made in a factory.

 

Fish #1.

 

Tofu #2

 

Egg Whites #3

 

Any questions? ????

I eat all those.  Still need extra protein.   Also don't drink from plastic.  Filter my own water.  Don't eat GMO and ear organic when I can.  But that's not what I asked.

[Good Quality Protein?]

Any recommendations for a good quality protein.  Whey or whey isolate.  I was using fitwhey for a while but noticed there protein grams have reduced.  29, 27 and now 26g I think.   One I have now after being sold it is 80% soy despite asking before paying.  

 

I am not looking for bulk.  

Thanks and sorry if this has been covered.  Tried in the search but my phone is possessed and does other things

Well I don't bother I know when something needs to be done just by riding the bike.

I did check them when I first got the bike and they were in tolerants, its a dam awkward job so I'll wait until the bike tells me or get a certain number of miles under the belt. ????

As stated in the post. The shims were changed as it was due to be checked.   That is done for a reason.   It's not like waiting for the brakes to fail before fixing 

My bike sounded fine.  No issues at all.  Valve clearance was too tight that my slimmest feeler gauge would barely pass.  Good luck with waiting for your bike. Tight valves are much worse and might sound quieter than lose tappy valves that won't cause an issue so long as within manufacturers tolerance.  

 

And to be clear to prevent tit for tat.

 

You said "If it ain't broke".

 

I will leave it there.

Don't check valve clearance? Are you sure?

[What Did You Do to Your Bike Today ?]

Not today but early December and a few days ago as I did multiple inspections.  Suspected cam chain tensioner was on its way out so decided to do a valve inspection as it is due.  Valves were out and changed shims.   Checked, and rechecked clearances 3 times.  Reassembled and thought all was good.  But this time more tapping than normal.  Mine also developed tapping when it had been on a run.  (common for ATs to tap when cold)  As if the AT isn't a pain enough already to strip down.    Stripped all the way back down and rechecked clearances.  All spot on.  I put it back together and still sounded like a late 70s early 80s 1.0 Ford Fiesta. 

 

I changed a few things on the way to the valves having done a few ATs in the past.  I replaced the harness and a few seal and coolant pipes.  Stripped down and found that the Spark Plug boot on the left of the AT which is a very tight boot wasn't pushed all the way down so it was arcing.  Didn't need to strip it if I had checked that first!  All good. Just waiting for a PSR cam chain tensioner as I originally suspected this was on its way out and it did fall apart in my hand, fortunately.

 

A bit of body repair and painting too.  Resprayed all panels and the tank.

[Looking for a Tennis Partner. male/female]

49 and a bit years old.  Played tennis a lot but injuries put a stop but I can hit the ball if anyone is interested.  Not a Sunday park player.  Looking just for the exercise in the Panya Area, near Fashion Island.  Singles I prefer but doubles is ok.  

 

I am flexible and can play between 10am upwards most days but not weekends.  Good for an hour maybe 2 with a ton of breaks!

 

I am based near Safari World.  Not looking to travel into the center.

 

Thanks

[Diesel to Veg oil Conversion Kit?]

Don't worry, I'm not about to, I can afford to pay for diesel ????

I can afford to take the risk.  It's my motorbike toy.

 

There's a company in the US that does a kit that works well on modern trucks.  Couldn't comment on mine as he wasn't familiar with a 2.2 Mazda.

 

[Diesel to Veg oil Conversion Kit?]

Back in the UK I converted my Mitsu L200 Animal to run on veg oil which it did fine.  Are there any such kits available in Thailand? I have a Mazda BT50 2.2 2019.  I am aware these kits run better on older diesels but I am curious.    I was considering electric but selling my car on to someone else to use and buy a new vehicle doesn't workout planet saving wise.  Not a member of extinction rebellion btw.   My truck only has 30,000km and will keep it for a while for my motorbike.  

[Dirt/Enduro riders in Bangkok]

I/we ride at Bor Din Bangkok and head out from time to time.  Mixture of ADV and 250s etc.  Group out this weekend doing a few climbs and jungle trails in Ratchaburii. 

 

Although for me it will be the first time in a while.

One of the contributing factors to Michael Schumacher's situation is that he had a camera mounted on his ski helmet.

Just saying...

Fair enough.  I can mount to the crash bar if needed.  Doesn't need to be mounted to the helmet.

 

[Dashcam on motorbike?]

I use a Drift Ghost on my helmet and one is mounted to the rear of my bike.  Battaries last ages unlike my pants DJI and NoPro. Twice I have had a slight knock with minor damage where the driver blamed me.  The satisfaction of cam footage is priceless.  Worth it even if you go cheap.  Without it the front fender would have cost me 25k.

[Covid Side Effect (Astra)]

Healthy 49er,  Workout 3-5 times  a week.  Never been admitted hospital other than for broken bones riding off road.  Off to doctors today when my wife returns as I am not fit to drive.

 

On the 21st of November I received my 2nd dose of Astra.  No issues at all until recently.  A couple of days before the F1 race I started to feel unwell, similar to my sleeping condition (I have insomnia) and put it down to bad sleep.  On the day of the Formula one last week, I decided to try and stay up for it and I was in a really bad way.  Dizzy, bad headache and feeling lethargic all that day.  I put it down to the lack of sleep over the past few days as I've had this feeling on a regular basis.  Since then, I have developed headaches on the right side of my head.  Intermittent shocks, earache and a constant humming sound as though I have just left the Hacienda night club in Manchester, with tinnitus in the background and no taste.  (Tested twice for covid and negative).  Yesterday morning, I developed a slight numbness on the right-side of my face which progressively spread, and now, it as spread to the left.  When I looked in the mirror, my face has dropped.  My mouth is numb as though I have just had an injection from the dentist and felt cumbersome to eat.  If I smile, only one side of my mouth opens.  This morning, at 9:30 I called to my local coffee shop and had to eat the bagel with a knife and fork, and while talking to a friend I felt my right eye lagging.  I now can't close (wink my right eye) in the space of sitting at the coffee shop and leaving an hour later.  I still have the intermittent shocks of pain in my head.

 

Has anyone experienced this?  Off to docs soon.

 

Thanks

[What Did You Do to Your Bike Today ?]

Not today but the other.  Power loss problem.  Traced to faulty coil harness.  Replaced and good. 

[Tyres - Swallow and Deli or VRM?]

VeerRubber are very good and underrated here by most expats simply because they are cheap.  (tax).   My Klim Krios Pro is 40K here but 19K in Australia where I bought it.   Read western forums and they are highly rated for adventure use.  I cannot comment on street/sport tires but I have tested quite a few back to back.  VeeRubber VRM 163 for example were much better than the Heidenau K60 scout which were double the price at the time.

[License Plate for ATV/Quad?]

My understanding is that they are not road legal but people do use them.  Saw a foreigner on the road in Min Buri and there is a guy on my Mooban that uses one.  The issue is if you have an accident.  With that being said I have had an insured car driver crash into me and two scooters. Dashcam and the rozzers made them pay up regardless. 

[Online learning opens up huge can of worms as parents get direct line into out of date Thai Education System]

One thing I noticed with some bilingual schools is that they are more interested in visually impressing the parent rather than the result of the child.  Particularly in P1 level where the books used are often way too complicated for 90% of the kids learning who still require phonic skills.    It is not surpriing that learning online for these students - learning Thai or English, is not only detremental to the child's speed of learning and equally frustrating for the parents.  One thing I do have to ask though.  Other than the parent showing up at school during school meetings when it happened, have they actually taken an interest in their kids educational growth at home before now?

Ordered an Airhawk seat pad…I’ve owned them before and highly recommend them for long or short distance!

You “will” out too much air in it first time…can’t believe how little air you need to make the difference!

You can bleed air out on the go or at least as you sit on it…once you get it right you’ll love it????????????

ps: I’m having mine sent to me from Canada but if anyone finds one here in Thailand let me know

I never ride off road thinking I won't come off.  Fortunately, most have been simple drops.  Picking my bike up ripped my shoulder out but it appears I have been riding with a dialocated shoulder for some time according to the doctor and not known.  I am trying to slot it back in myself as I want to avoid hospitals at the moment.
