That's all your fantasy. Women and men are different. That is common knowledge - at least with people who pay attention.

Are you female? I don't want a solution from you, I only want that you listen - and all that.

I think they are great inventions. The problem are some of those people who use them.

And then discover that you have difficulties understanding how 25 year old think? Sometimes I see them in videos, and I think: WTF are they talking about? Instagram and all that crap.

You could have gone out and ask them. Maybe they would have told you. But then, maybe not. Do you really think we can tell you accurately what happened there? Something happened.

Just keep Yingluck a couple of years longer in jail if she returns to Thailand. After all, he told us that she is his clone.

As far as I know DHL, and probably others, do all that for you. I had once a delivery for 4000 USD, I had to sign one or two forms, but I never had to go to customs. I suggest send DHL an email and ask them. I did this before above delivery, and I was surprised about their detailed answer.

Lenovo makes a lot of computers. ThinkPads are very good. The rest not so much.

I suggest look at it in a shop - if you have the opportunity. Type a few sentences and look how you like the keyboard. Most new notebooks have enough performance for everyday usage (except games). The quality and feel of the keyboard and mousepad makes a difference. If you are on a budget look if you can get a 2nd hand ThinkPad. They are mostly the best you can buy.

Pretty fun? So, how often did you repeat this or similar fun trips on a scooter? Yes, the brakes and suspension don't die within an 11-hour trip. The question is how comfortable is such a suspension after an hour or two or ten?

I never paid more than 200B on the roadside. Mostly 100B did the job.

It is not my intention to play that who has the bigger bike game. It doesn't make sense. My comments and questions were about: Which bike is suitable for which task? My 390 is perfect for the city. I could use it to ride 500km in one day, but I wouldn't. There are obviously uses for little scooters or big sport bikes and choppers. But they are different. But then, you know that already.

That is the first what I do when I see a red light in front of me. Look in the mirror. Can I brake without anybody bumping into me?

Maybe something like this? Sorry, I have no idea what is actually is.

It seems Alibaba thought these things are appropriate for this thread...

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.

I didn't start with those manly attributes. I get your point. There is a wide range of bikes available between a 110cc scooter and a big Harley. I ride a KTM Duke 390 most of the time in the middle of Bangkok. It's basically the frame of a 125cc KTM bike with a 390cc engine, somewhere >40HP. And it has good suspension and good brakes. I didn't buy a bigger bike because in the middle of Bangkok there wouldn't be any advantage. And I didn't buy a little scooter because the bad brakes, suspension, etc.

No problem, someone invented ACs years ago.

How does that work?

Clinton? Is that not that woman who lost against the worst GOP candidate ever? Maybe she should crawl into a basement somewhere and hope nobody will remember her.

Police and taxi drivers all belong to the same organized organization...

Which mission? a) Shopping around the corner? b) Or a trip of several hundred kilometers? a) Yes b) No. Only if the alternative is walking. Decent brakes and suspension are just not possible for cheap scooters. And (almost) nobody would buy an expensive 1xx cc scooter.

Having the choice of your two bikes, I would use the CRF for those trails. I could also use my Duke 390, but I would change my tires from street to enduro tires first. Or I would buy a small dirt bike if I would live in that area.

Please have a look at the posts above your post. You will see that many other members describe their life with bigger bikes. And the last post above yours is a story with the last bike being a "BMW C600 (It's actually a 650 twin) maxi scooter". For me the summary of all those posts is: when I wasn't old, I liked big bikes. Now I am old I ride a scooter. That's obviously ok. I understand that old men do that. Which answers my question from above.
