  1. There's no comparison between a step-through and a CBR150. I steer with my upper inner legs on the tank, and by the footpegs. I crawl through tiny spaces, and hit 125 inside Chiang Mai city limits. MaeHongSong loop was easy.

  2. We had a worst case example in a Sunday School class. Mountain of a man, overly touching the women, towering over them, loud, obnoxious. He'd been called on it, countless times, by mates and women. and never learned. He was a nut case, shunned by all.

    When I met Boo and sbk, it was hugs all around, because they knew me already, from the forum.

  3. Question - most times, when the driving qualities of the Crb in city traffic is discussed, everyone in this forum says it is great. But clear, experienced, and detailed comparisons of those handling qualities are not available....

    I hope I've expressed a context for my question: Assuming that I'm competent with a clutch (yes, one down and...), brakes (rear v front and...), how happy will I be among these kid drivers, the nut-case autos - as compared with the toys bikes? Please just assume that I'm competent, though just a cruiser - never owned a sports type.

    Hi. Even comparison tests by grizzled road testers aren't available in the USA - they only once asked the junior staffer to compare the 500-to-600 bikes before 2004. You don't give enough context (we bought a Honda PCX; I hated my ride around the block). The CBX is my all-time favorite. Up to 138 kph. You never owned a sports bike? The CBR is not extreme.
  4. All six of mine were overdue by a week or two. First of all, if your wife has over 30 days between menstrual cycles, they count short. We had 34 days; her friend who married a twin ovulated from both sides every 56 days (she had twins). Our twins arrived a week late, and large. All were delivered vaginally; all the girls have had c-sections.

  5. In addition to having heard about Thanh's half-brother, I knew of numerous teens who went through a gay period, including with their same-sex siblings. My ex-wife and I each knew of examples of straight sibling incest in high income neighborhoods.

  6. Westerners of all flavors say "I'll call you" when they would never call.
    Is that preferrable? If so, I'd like to hear why.

    On the date you regret having had, Westerners part with a stated intention that they'll call again...in 30 years, maybe. It's like saying maichai in Thai - it's 'not yes.'
  7. I hesitate to reply as a grizzled veteran. :)

    Does 3 weekends cover more than 100 classroom hours?

    Does it give each teacher at least 5 hours of supervised teaching of EFL to EFL students?

    Does it prepare you to teach to Thais, especially to Young Learners?

    Knowing Thai is helpful talking to Thai teachers.

    Lack of experience in teaching won't help. Japanese? Maybe if you teach it in fluent Thai.

    Age 51 is neither young nor ancient.

    I hope this helps; welcome.

    I think you don't have a CELTA.
