Honda MSX 125 Grom Mini-Street-Extreme, pictures and modifications



Here is Ploy, on a ride from Doi Pui to Huey Thin Thaow.
I just bought and broke in my new Honda MSX 125.

MSX stands for Mini Street Extreme.

    Honda has applied for four separate patents on this little machine, so they have once again strived for innovation, easy of drive-ability,
style, riding position, and attitude!

This mini-bike rips off the line, until 100KPHs.
or 60 MPHs.

You will beat a car around any city on an MSX.



This bike is excellent in and around traffic. I have taken it down curbs, and I pass
many many cars at every single traffic light. Around town, (Chiang Mai Thailand that is), the amount of trafficand car congestion is unbelievable, and this small, maneuverable, light-weight machine may be the best answer to the traffic problem.
PASS THEM when they aren't moving!

Time with Tigers at the Tiger Kingdom, outside Chiang Mai, Thailand.

The Tiger Kingdom Restaurant, and viewing area are one of my favorite things to see in Chiang Mai Thailand.

It is the only place that I can think of where you can have permission to be this close and personal with some of the big game cats..

I can't believe it would be possible to get the necessary permits and insurance to have a place like this in the Unites States.




That is why I prefrer living in Thailand so much more than anywhere else I have ever been.


There are a variety of Tigers available to be visited, and the prices are fair, considering all of the food and attention that is needed to take care of them properly.

There are baby tiger cubs, which are not scary at all. Look at my pictures.
They are playful and cute, but usually sleepy.

There are two sizes of medium tigers, one about the size of a black lab, and the larger medium size tigers are the size of a big St. Bernard.


The largest size you can touch and sit next to are between 250-300 pounds.
