- I decided to buy an adaptor to have a look and see what details I can get from the ADV 350, I had no other reason but inquisitiveness. The kit cost me £6.49 including the OBD bluetooth dongle thing.
I also needed to sort my visa because it's something we need to do every now and then. If anyone needs to know the process for a visa, please drop me an email - vortecks2000@gmail.com

Also, if you can find it in your heart to help me out, please visit one of the following links. I want to stop here forever because it's such a beautiful country with so much to offer but I will run out of money eventually. I've spent a lot of money preparing the bike and I'm going touring in the next month so I need all the help I can get.

Or use the superchat thing :) I thank every one of you who have already pledged money, it's helped me fulfil my dream and got me out of pain!
nice ride video Toni I am just getting my first OBD2 app/connector in August, still driving my 89 Volvo 240DL, great car that has been over 95% reliable, the other i am fixing up is 2002 Golf GLS with the base 2.0 litre engine it has the OBD2 unit, it'll do for the next 5 or 6 years it only has under 75k on the clock and is in very nice shape overall, you lucky, when you ride you get a blow dry at the same time 😂 i wish my roads where half as good as the ones you ride on in Thailand, they are pretty nasty even compared to UK roads and in the winter time my old Volvo rides better , the potholes are all filled in with snow/ice ,LOL, glad to see things are moving along well for you now, everyday is an adventure and we're privileged to be here to enjoy to our best 👍
I'd love to design an OBD2 display, I know I can buy them so why can't I design my own? 😁 Actually, I might just do that!
I think the last time it snowed over here was in 1955. I doubt it very much if the snow and ice will ever cover the potholes over here mate 🤣
Nice to see you out on your bike again Tony!
I enjoy it every day mate.
Love this stuff Tony. Crazy stuff, the odb app recording so cool. Would love to see more of your drone recordings. With some nice audio vibes. Mannnn, however i miss your cancelled northern roadtrip (which i fully understand), i still appreciate all your effort going onwards. Wish you the best and would really like to hang out one night. I'll be in Pattaya end november. Lets make a vdo during the Pattaya International Fireworks Competition. Already booked my flight from Chiangmai to Utapao on the 28th of november after i finished the MHS loop 🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤❤
I'm rethinking the decision on the road trip mate, I might start it in October. I really need to do the MHS loop, it's got to be a bucket list job.
You never know, we might actually meet up 1,000km north of here! line.me/ti/p/YM8-xsWFXY
Good morning Tony, I've never used a visa agent, I've always done it myself.
The imigration police are very helpful up here in Sakon Nakhon, I don't think their workload is as intense as, let's say, Pattaya or other tourist places.
My Honda Jazz has blown the head gasket.
So now it's the ebike for a few days.
I'd love to do my own visa mate. I had 3 Thai women walk away after smacking their heads a few dozen times and they all said that it's impossible 🤣 They said that each form refers back to another one and you can't do any of them until you've completed the others.
Maybe it's time I started exploring Thailand and enjoying the easy life - It's manic down here (in comparison, it's still 1,000 times less manic than the UK). I strongly feel a tour coming on, I need to do this 😁
I also strongly feel this electric Honda PCX/Click coming on.....no head gasket to worry about there.
@Vortecks Good morning Tony, my car is fixed now.
It needed the head scimming, a new head gasket, a new electric radiator fan, a new radiator hose, and a new engine mounting bracket, as the bracket broke, taking the engine out.
I know he did the work, because I called into the garage on my way past.
And the cost was, 13000 Bart or £287, so I'm happy.
Tony, people might be interested in how much they would need to live in Thailand.
I would love to live there but now at 60 and a significant debt over my head that will never happen.
Stay safe 👍
Sorry to hear. I hope you'll win the lottery soon my man!
I've seen so many videos stating how much it costs to live over here and there is a massive difference in pricing. The true cost depends on how and where you want to live but personally, I live on the bare essential and it costs around £350 a month in total but it could be cheaper.
Just doing a search on YT, the fist video says $2,300 (£1,700) a month but these people are spending £450 a month on rent which is an absolute joke, they definitely saw them coming!
I will do a video on how much you CAN live on and how much it costs me.
Just to add..... you could walk away but you could never go back.
Not sure you should beat Loraine lol but I'm looking forward to joining you out there.
A mug or T shirt with "tell 'em bollox" should sell well Tony.
Yes, I might actually do that mate, thank you! 🤣
Brilliant and always intresting viewing. Yes, good controlled turn..at least your getting warm rain there... it's (baltic)...cold uk...you done the right thing! Keep up the enjoyable vids and sharp moves on them roads...😂
The cold UK..... something I really don't miss mate. Especially now the new government have chopped the payments to help the most vulnerable of people.
@Vortecks 18° C warm today...but as you know that cold to you now. Oct I arrive. I emailed you a few days ago. But know your busy to catch up on that...also are Arai helmets available in bike shops there? Or did you bring it over?
The speedo's are designed to read "optimistically" old mechanical ones like on old 90's fords used to be about 10% out so at 70 on the clock you'd be doing about 63 actual MPH, ive heard the digital ones are set at a lower % figure but never played with them to confirm that, that could be the differnce in why your obd2 data is showing different from the speedo, ones actual speed and the other is the optimistic value,
KPL imagine is kilometers per litre average, the number should be more nearer the 30's i'd imagine, but its an average so maybe clearing and reseting that will sort it, its maybe accounting for data where you had it sat idling on the drive when you were playing with it when reading the codes? either that or its just the cheap obd2 unit, ive got one as well but like yourself i wouldnt trust ALL the data its giving me
Might just be crap software, like most Chinese work.
But for a couple of baht, for me, a total noob, its still cool! Its just fun. I remember buying some (superexpensive) tomtom stuff also with bluetooth obd connector using it on my brandnew Renault Twingo in 2011😂😂😂. It was so cool. 555
@@skysurferuk could be, could also be a slightly different protocol, all the OBD stuff had different protocols between brands think there were 5 of the top of my head, what I'm unsure of is if the motorcycle stuff uses their own protocols or if they just used automotive ones.
my Honda SP1 didnt have an OBDII port, you'd just bridge a connector and the fuel injection light would flash in a sequence and that would give you your code.
I know it's an optimistic speed and all speedos read slower than GPS speed to reduce deaths (apparently).
It's nothing to do with protocols or crappy software, the signals are digital so the displayed speed is the speed being sent from the OBD port. If you set your phone up to show your speed and you stick to this speed, there isn't a camera in the country that will catch you - they calculate the cameras by carefully measuring distance (the same as GPS speed does) and then calculating the time travelled over a known distance.
Which OBD2 app are you using?
Torque for Android mate. It's actually the only software I've bought (but there is a free version).
KPL would that be Kilometers Per Liter? Did someone just translate that from MPG (Miles Per Gallon) LMAO :) :) :) - and the number could be 8 Liters per 100 Km, wouldn't that be just about right for a motorcycle that isn't so economic?
Spotted that as well. That reading must be wrong. Adv 350's are 3 to 4l/100km, and that would be 70 to 94 british mpg.
Yes mate, it's Kilometres per litre and I know, it's very badly wrong. I hadn't reset anything on the app and that's how it calculates things.
It's actually returning 31.7 KM per Litre (74.5 MPG)
6000 a month, that's about 150 euro/month 😳 That's a pension plan...😅
There are cheaper places, I've seen detached houses for 88 Euro/month. Why wait until you're pension age? 😁
@@Vortecks Well, because if i leave my job, i will be fined a substanial amount, and where talking a couple of tens of thousands of euros.
Labour just took the Pensioners heating Allowance Tony. The bastards....Giving it to the unworthy is their game.... You're well out of it Tony mate....I despise them all....Ruining the UK now for decades.....🙄🤔😳😳🇬🇧
I saw it mate, it's a disgrace. Imagine all those pensioners who voted for them and immediately got stabbed in the back.
I had a bit of a scare...... someone told me that Labour are planning to abolish the state pension and then I was told that it would be means tested. I've got my 35 years tax paying in, if they take it off me, I'll be back to join the civil uprising!
Edit, I've got to add....... bas*tards!!! (oops, I didn't remove the T 🤣).
