    You can alter the position of the PCX handle bars forward..

    yes, on one of those i tested, there were both a distance

    and the handle bar was twisted forward so my knees would not hit it,

    that is what i would do. the seat pushes me strongly forward tho,

    for me the choice is between nmax & forza,

    more specifically, if i cant find a forza at a real good price real soon, i'll settle for an nmax

    You can remove the plastic around the Nmax handlebar leaving it similar to the PCX.

    I like the PCX but it's smaller than the Nmax, leg room is far less then my Nmax, I'm 6'3" long legs, seat on PCX is awful and no ABS, I'll stick with my Nmax.

     

    Sent from my SM-G610F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

     

     

     

    agree out of the two the nmax is less uncomfortable,

    but pcx has better potential of removing the knee-handlebar conflict.

    nmax also brakes better and feels smoother to handle.

    i would like to test ride forza,

    i sat on it and it felt like having more potential of being comfortable, the knee-handlebar conflict is still there, but like with pcx, i can put in some distances on the handlebar so my knees can not hit the handle bar

    Both scoots are probably designed for smaller Asian guys like me. The seats feels just right for me. For non-asian taller guys, a seat mod might be needed. 

     

    The new 2018 Forza looks perfect, wasn't a fan of the old Forza. 

    yes, i was looking at custom seats, the ones that looked tempting are around 3000 baht, the worrying part is: will my knees be raised even higher ?

    i can rectify that issue on pcx since it standard steel handle bar,

    but its impossible on an nmax since the handle bar itself is plastic

    Thanks for the recommendation, I will take a look as I live down that way.

     

    I would add a slice of 'caveat emptor' on this type of thing, based on previous experiences with Thai shoemakers and tailors ('Thai' as opposed to the Sukhumvit tourist focused shops).

     

    After trying out a few places, with some mixed results, I have finally found a trusted Thai tailor, who does a very good job on suits & shirts for about 1/2 price of the Sukhumvit shops.

    I gave up on the tailor made shoes after a couple of disappointing efforts which were poor in fitting and quality.

     

    I am a 45/UK 11, so I occasionally buy from department stores here, which is expensive, but generally try to stock up on my annual trip back to the UK/Europe.

     

     

     

    is that tailor in bkk or pattaya ?

    Correct.; But you still could not explain " big animal", how and why size matters.

    they might think we would know what properties a 'big animal' has,

    so we should have by then been given a clear explanation.

    another explanatio might be that 'big animal' is the best explanation due to language barrier

     

    an analogy might be that i would explain how

    an intercooler works by lowering aggression

    in particles about to be injected to a combustion chamber, i assume the one i explain to has some basic physics education, while a thai assume i have some basic understanding what properties a big animal has, in both cases, we assume the resiever of the message to have the fundamental knowledge, except i dont have the fundamental knowledge what properties a big animal has

    Did I say lying? Sure it may be but my experience is different. Check why Hindus don't eat beef. It is the same reason.

    And how many Thais know something about evolution?

    uncharted territory for me but i guess its a side effect of rebirth,

    a big animal isnt that far behind taking human form,

    and that makes it somwhat repulsive to eat as some sort of cannibalism,

    like eating an ape for us, a close cousin

  7. i have rented both for the last few days,

    both seats kinda wants to push me forwards off the bikes,

    but pcx pushes much harder.

    otoh pcx handle bar is not surrounded by plastic like nmax,

    so while pcx handle bar hits my knees harder,

    the handle bar itself can be raised so it wont be hitting knees at all.

    i think forza 300 will be more comfortable and size forgiving than either,

    kinda fancy the easy snappy handling of nmax tho, a sensation of a small bike in that regard

    Because you probably grew up on cheap meat...

    ?

    Kidding, I get it I like some A1 sauce also.

    But at a high end place like Peter Luger's in the states the quality of the meat and the way they cook it nothing is needed I do not think just pure meat flavor.

    if i was told to waste a fillet on some butter and/or ketchup,

    i would i all likelihood refuse to eat it,

    i just hate ruining otherwise good food,

    its something deep, maybe a sense of heresy,

    somewhat similar as to the first reaction of mixing red wine or beer with ice,

    but it goes so much deeper when it concerns food, maybe same as an act of homosexuality,

    getting rogered, a kind of depraved way of life itself, it goes against everything i stand for,

    all my virtues etc

    If you buy good quality meat sauce is not needed.  Some of the top steak houses in the world have no sauce.

    i cant recall a single dish i had to put up with without a nice sauce

    when i grew up, i will never like a dish dry,

    and i will never accept ketchup as an excuse for a sauce, specially not on a fillet

    going to need some evidence. I got up to 7 minutes and its just people with posh english accents saying global warming isnt true. very nice but thats not evidence. maybe you can tell me where to fast forward to the actual evidence, or is that it?

    the sceme is crushed on every single point all over the video,

    and the explanation what actually causes ups and downs is towards the end,

    but you may look at 19:30 on when al gore gets shafted

    For 49 baht? ?

    i happily pay 49 baht for the bearnaise alone,

    only once in 13 years here did i get to eat a nice bearnaise,

    and the owner of that resturant changed chef asap so next time i went there,

    sauce wasnt nice any more and i didnt return a 3rd time

     

    knorr powder bearnaise would be an improvement over almost every sauce here
