Kindly explain how bigger tires put more stress on the suspension.
{-: the tires are big part of the suspension ;-]
They do when the forks are undersized forks. Take one on a road with cracks or uneven surfaces and you will notice the wobble and vibrations.

I believe the ss checks should be out next week as the required submissions regarding those with dependents has just completed to my understanding. This should clear the way for the final SS checks?

War is not a nice business.
The tendency of some modern politically correct "historians" to criticize operations is only possible because of those operations. Speculating on the realities is just that, speculating.
Germany started the practice of deliberately terror bombing non combatant civilian targets as a tactic in WW1. They continued in in the Spanish Civil War when supporting the fascist Franco. They terror bombed Warsaw and Rotterdam, a deliberate tactic to smash the will of the people. The tried the same with the London Blitz and bombing British cities. In such circumstances, and in such times, it's not really surprising that similar tactics would be used against them given the opportunity, is it?
What you are saying makes little sense. If you simply look at the design of the bombers Germany used in WW2 you will see they are small and designed to support troops movements. It is the American and British who designed the huge bombers that resulted in countless deaths of innocent women and children. War crimes like Dresden would not been possible without these specifically designed killing machines.

that's something I heard before, already 4-5 people spoke about it and also the Yamaha repairs/spare parts replacing more costly then Honda
Here is why I think the adv is a better bike:
1) Honda engines and fuel injection are superior to Yamaha and the result is a very smooth bike while the Aerox is jerky. Both the aerox and nmax vibrate far too much for a 150 cc single piston.
2) The adv chassis and suspension is far superior to Yamaha. Why do you think there are so many aftermarket shocks and forks seen on Aerox and even Nmax?
3) The adv is engineered from the ground up. Yamaha took the Mio design and made it sexy, added fat tires which are actually counter productive and put in a fast motor motor. . Those fat tires put increased stress on undersized forks up front, reduce top speed and decrease handling but hey they look good. I would love to hear from someone that has downsized their tires on the aerox (and not the kiddy reacer bicycle tires lol).
Not trying to knock the yamaha aerox as it is a good inner city commuter but it is not a sports bike with the strength or handling for anything safely above 90 km in my opinion.

A corrupt judiciary. Corrupt police. Police kidnapping citizens. Corrupt armed forces. Just endemic corruption all round. The rich can kill or murder and not go to jail. Elections are fraudulant......etc. I'm sure we can all add to the list. Third world. What do you think?
And they like to pretend they are superior to the Philippines lol.

Was never in here but they seemed to have a simple, well executed business model. Chicken dinner 139 baht etc.
Was meant to be decent and good quality.
If they can't make a go of it, i wonder who can.
Really sad, many people who have been ex pats for years with their savings and hopes invested in a business.
Will be like the property market in 2008 in the UK. One minute buoyant, six months later having to sell at a 50% discount.
That was in the suburban UK.
Even those with funny money may not want to catch a falling knife.
They will be selling property by the block.
Good opportunity for those looking to money launder.

Sounds reasonable given that millions were killed postwar in neighboring country forced migrations as well as millions of rapes including children and grandmothers. Additionally millions of innocents were sent to the gulags where there were systematically tortured and killed. All sides have blood on their hands. This is the reality of war. There are no heros.

Let's cut Trump out of the equation for the time being. The number one reason Americans as well as many other western nations have been suffering is due to the diet and the resulting obesity! Now add in the aging population and you have your answer.
And let's get real about the China numbers. Due to the severity of their outbreak and the longer period of time and even now a second outbreak they are the true leaders in infections, deaths and asymptomatic carriers (many to resume travel to thailand shortly).

The ADV costs more but might be worth it. The aerox is an incomplete motorbike. It has a great motor and looks good but the suspension is absolute junk as is the strength of the scooter. The tires are way too big for the weak frame and small fork tubes and actually make the bike more dangerous in my opinion. Yamaha could have done it right for 5-10k more but aimed low. And to boot it is impossible to read the dash in any kind of bright daylight... unbelievable.

Yeah now they can just all go sit in a small apartment and drink together with no masks or social distancing. Can these officials really be this stupid?

Why all the haters? It's a great tool to promote awareness. In 5yrs, Teslas and other oil free EVs will be common place. And with a +250mi range I doubt we'll see any stranded by the road side. I can't wait for clean air and good health for all of Thailand
Clean air will the teslas put out the sugar cane fires? Will the Teslas filter the pollution from the factories? Will the Teslas not use coal generation for charging?

Not gonna happen. The Chinese were the first to be "banned" from Thailand. Do they really think that slight will not be forgotten? There are simply too many other nations to compete for the tourist dollar, and most are doing a better job. The Chinese will return, but I suspect the numbers will be far lower than before. You know what they say about putting all of your eggs in one basket? Thailand had been warned of the dangers of becoming too dependent on China for years. Now, after you have made your bed, you get to sleep in it. You have alienated all tourists but Indians and Chinese.
And as for the Western tourists? Not gonna happen either. Why? Quality Western tourists are declining here, in a big way, for a dozen very good reasons. You insulted us. You demeaned us. You accused us of being evil, and you accused us of being criminals. You mounted campaigns touting us as bad for the nation. You demonstrated deplorable amounts of racism and xenophobia, and fear of the outside world. Some of your officials even went as far as saying we prefer to have tourists that look more like us! And now you want us to come back? Really? How soon you forget. Sorry, but we have not forgotten what was done and said. Neither have the Chinese forgotten their ban. Not saying it was not the right thing to do. But, that does not necessarily make it less offensive to them.
What alot of tourists worldwide have forgotten is the nation named Thailand. There are too many alternatives now, and they are not only trying harder, they actually have competent people in charge! Surprise!
Although I agree with the assessment regarding westerners you may be off base with your Chinese predictions. Why? Because there is a very good chance that while the rest of the world is sensibly blocking Chinese visitors due to the virus Thailand will have its doors wide open. In short it may be the only country rolling out the red carpet.

Would you be happier if more people died there?
So the right things are:
1) deny the virus exists when it is discovered
2) humiliate and threaten the whistleblowers
3) pretend there is no problem and encourage your citizens to travel the world knowing full well they are spreading it
4) eventually admit there is a problem
5) lock down tens of millions and fudge the death toll numbers
6) tell everyone it is once again under control
7) encourage your citizens to travel and spread the virus
8 rinse and repeat

I wonder if Justina will prefer a "black" mask or a "pink" mask. I guess it would depend whether he is wearing blackface that day or not.

After 2008, there has been no real recovery...the economy has been kept alive by extraordinary means, such as zero or even negative interest rates, and constant injections of (fake) money called QE.
At no time since 2008 was the economy able to stand on its feet all by itself, and to cope with real free market conditions.
Now, it is this very weak economy that has been hit by a pandemic.
Expecting it to recover quickly is like expecting an 80 year old with diabetes, infected with the coronavirus, to recover quickly, while he is lying under a ventilator...
The stock market has been pumped up on low volume courtesy of high frequency trading and the fed to name a few. It was only logical that any significant event causing any significant selling would make the bottom fall out. And for anyone rushing to buy at this time there is a saying in the market "never catch a falling knife".

An over reaction, far, far too late. Perhaps this should have been done weeks ago. Now? The virus appears to be leveling off here. And many are still in a panic. The zombies are coming!
One of the worst problems here, has been the incredibly inconsistent policy. When you have a brain dead health minister, with absolutely no experience, and an astonishing lack of talent in the administration from the top down, this is what happens.
And your evidence for a "levelling off here" is???? Govt stats?

TAT targeting tech savvy young tourists as New Normal means less visitors and more domestic tourism

Does this ever stop? What's next soccer moms?
Here's an idea. Clean up the beaches. Clean up the BIB. Clean the air. Stop double pricing. Lower the baht.
Now that just might work.
