Hi ,
I'm fulltimer in Thailand since 2000 ,my actual bike is a Shadow 750cc ,the previous one a Slasher 400cc ,and the first one a Phantom 200cc.
As every young boy ( I'm just 62
) I always dream about a bigger one ( my wife too ,I bet :sick.
So I would like to buy a Vtx 1800 ,but the only ones I found for sale are silly expensive wrecks.
Beginning this summertime we will only spend 7 months/year in Thailand and 5 other months travelling Europe with our Rv.
My idea is ,buying a used ( lightly ) Us Vtx 1800 ,and import her here on the temporary import status.
If I understand everything well I could keep the bike in Thailand during 6 months with the extensions ,first question : is it doable with my retirement visa ?
After these first six months ,ride the bike to Cambodia ,Poipet or Kho Kong are pretty close from here ,rent a storage for the next 6 months ,then back to Thailand for wintertime apply for a new six months temporary import ,and same way every year ,Does it sound realistic ?
Does anyone here try to do the same process ?
And what about the 6 months storage in Cambodia ,doable ,or not ?
Thanks for your replies ,mate .
Patrick.
