I've got a ADV 160 it's pretty good, perfect for Pattaya traffic but overall not a great scooter as I've ridden my neighbors Forza 350 and that's impressive. What is the Rolls Royce of 350cc scooters to buy in Thailand? I've got a couple of friends that love their Forza 350's. Another guy I know swears the Xmax puts the Forza 350 to shame. I'm looking to upgrade next year.

Best to the elderly woman, but I have a hard time swallowing the age number. So many here have no idea how old they are or when they were born. So I do not believe the Post. -
Chicken factory extortion scandal rocks Thai police force
Bangkok Barry replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
Really? As if anyone, anyone at all, was surprised. Such a wonderful culture. I doubt that a single person in the country trusts the police in anything, and that lack of trust undermines the whole of society. Except those who are at the table claiming their share. -
You are in violation of the third tradition with that kind of rhetoric It has nothing whatever to do with the all-inclusive ethos of Alcoholics Anonymous. Guys like you should be ashamed. You are destroying the unity of AA which has always been the lifeblood of the fellowship. You chose to interpret the AA literature in a way that suits your fear-driven fundamentalist agendas. There is room in AA for every alcoholic irrespective of their belief of lack of belief. What happened to "Live ad Let live"? Utterly pathetic mate! You need to take inventory again to question the authenticity of your spiritual values!

Bangkok sizzles at 40°C, heatwave scorches Thailand at 43°C

I agree about the humidity. That's the one that really does me in. I swear I perspire in the shower on the really humid days. Have a shower, get out and within minutes wet from perspiration. I take mineral salts on those days. e.g. .... -

Clinton says Trump’s threats ‘should scare every American’
Thingamabob replied to Social Media's topic in World News
One issue with which I can agree with Trump is his insistance that Nato members should pay their fair share of defence costs. Too many of them fall way below the agreed 2.5% of GDP. -

Thai woman spills beans on corrupt cop’s love-linked traffic fines
OneMoreFarang replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Why would anybody pay a police fine into a personal bank account? It doesn't make any sense. And the police officer must be also mentally challenged. Receiving bribes per traceable bank transfers. What a glorious idea. -

Maxi scooter.... Way to go and generally brakes and suspension are ok. Easy to get upgrades although for a few shekels more the Honda Adv 350 is pretty much kitted out. Quicker than an Ethiopian with a Mcdonalds voucher. -
Above NY Times article is really good...points out a lot key info. Yeap, big-time overcapacity in China for ICEV/EV...surely more price-cutting to come on all types of vehicles. I think the article's subtitle (quoted below) sums it up.

as you press the gear lever down between gears, the clutch is engaged, if you pull out your foot halfway, you can vary the amount of clutch that's engaged, the gear lever on these 'honda wave-type underbones' are both ways as they're designed to be able to be pressed down with sandal

Horrific accident claims 4 lives, injures 6
Bangkok Barry replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
You are always at risk whenever you are on the roads in Thailand. Just today, we had to come to a complete halt to avoid a car that was hurtling towards us on our side of the road as he was attempting to overtake about a dozen vehicles in one go. Me First, get out on my way.
