Today I rent this 150cc motorbike I'm Chiang Mai. I'm learning to ride with manual shift, so I went for a smaller bike that feels similar to a scooter. After I get used to it, I'll switch to a heavier motorbike.
@benoit @tagomago I have 3 driver's licenses: Italy (but it's expired), Massachusetts (but only for cars) and Japan (but it's in japanese).
The only very minor problem is that i couldn't obtain an International Driving Permit, which is essentially a translation of any domestic license:

@benoit @tagomago I am much more concerned to get into an accident than to get fined. All the safety advice I'm getting from experienced friends involves equipment that can't be purchased here.
So I'm riding with an open-face helmet and no other protections for my fragile human body... essentially what everyone else does around here 😰
@codewiz every time I get on the backsit of motorcycle, I feel I am gonna die (seriously I get scared)
@Dashtop Same here, even while I'm driving. I'm guessing this will gradually fade away as I get more confident.
@codewiz Badass. So you finally got your license, or you're an outlaw now.
