Air Filter, Round Two

Not that this was the craziest story to come out of Thailand, but I just had to laugh the night after Pee Took first took out his new homemade air filter and said that his bike was running too slow- that he actually made the filter too thick and the air couldn’t get through quick enough. So all that work he had put in to melt the filter in with hot wax had to be undone, by heating and re-melting the wax before cutting back it back out, cutting out half of it, and re-melting it back in. It was a hell of a process. This picture is blurry but it’s just funny to see the air filter pulled apart just before he had to fold it back in. He told me that he’s not stingy, he’s just thrifty; by doing this himself he was saving 1700 Baht, or $40.
