Thailand is known for its knock-off /counterfeit / fake market, but I never thought I would see something like this. It was at a "big bike" show at a local mall this weekend. It is a custom bike from a local Bangkok shop.

It's urban meaning is derived from the type of grave stone known as a "Table Tomb".

Re: Knock-off Tires/Tyres
I believe it is done out of humour. But I think it also says something about the English speaking world. For most in Asia, English is not their first language. As such, what they learn is from us native English speakers. I tend to believe that because we use words like the F-bomb so frequently, they perceive it not to be vulgar or inappropriate in most situations.homie wrote:They really add f*** to everything in Asia don't they Is it done out of sheer humor or does it have an alternate meaning in translation?

Lucky they don't listen to British or Australians, otherwise they'd be calling them C'stones...
