  1. Others have posted the top end speed. I've attached the specs from the manual. If you can't read it let me know what measurements you'd like to know. I'm well below 6ft so it makes it hard for me the gauge what a six foot person will look like on it. I will probably find a way to add some extra storage container to the back. The torque is probably what makes this fun for me. At 336nm its over 150nm more than a Suzuki Hayabusa. You can find some recent videos of it on youtube is you search FW07.
  2. I apologize I didn't notice you were the same person adding a legitimate post above it. Every time I post about motorcycle and scooters in a forum there are always someone that just wants to tell me I have a death wish or that should buy a car or crotch rocket if I want a real bike. I tried to delete the post but I once. I noticed but I can't figure out how to delete here or if you can.
  3. With government subsidy it currently is discounted to about 150. Still a little more than a 150/160cc ICE scooter but fully worth it for me.
  4. I ordered this 6000w electric scooter(Felo FW07) at the recent motor show here and received it last week. Before the motor show I had previously test drove it on the motorsport park track near Suvarnaphumi was happy with the acceleration, brakes, and handling around the track. It is able to get me from Bang Yai Nonthaburi to downtown Bangkok and back easily on a charge which was the main ability I was looking for. It also doesn't look that goofy. It has type 2 charging so it can share the wall charger I use with my plugin hybrid Volvo. The biggest minus for me is probably the storage space. There is barely room for paperwork under the seat. Later this year I will probably pick up a used Yamaha TMax 560 to complement it and allow for longer trips with a better bump absorbing suspension.
  5. To be fair you left out "by xmas" meaning that it will about at 200 pages in a little over two more months which isn't unreasonable considering it only started a little over a month ago. It will take a few more news items about the taxation to keep this thread lit.
  6. American digital nomads that are working remotely outside of the US for a specific period of time can deduct up to 120k on their US taxes. This doesn't work for most forms of passive income though. Nonetheless its possible in some cases to get them off your back for the majority of your federal taxes on regular income except for social security and medicare which you still must pay.
  7. You can't scrub it from the wayback machine. You can see yearly snapshots of the faqs and privileges going back to 2003. I checked one for 2019 and unsurprisingly I am unable to confirm your claim. https://web.archive.org/web/20190601000000*/http://www.thailandelite.com
  8. It probably came from this site thailandelitevisas.com: But thats not the official thailand elite website and I can't find this claim on the official site so take his claim with a huuuuge grain of salt.
  9. At least Obama tried to make good on his campaign promise to end this Bush legacy. On his second day in office Obama issued an executive order to close Guantanamo down within a year. The right wasn't on board with this plan at all and congress thwarted most of this. Donald Trump also made it clear he apposed it. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/obama-failed-close-guantanamo
  10. I hope the BlankPink concert I hope to attend next year in Bangkok has none of the same crowding issues. The group has become even more popular since their last visit.
  11. I brought a Specialized carbon-fiber mountain bike in a quality bike bag for the cool season one year. The bike got stuck in one of my transit countries and had to even tell baggage claim at Savarnabhumi what was in it. The bike arrived the next day and they delivered it right to my condo making it even easier despite the initial stress of it not showing up at baggage claim initially.
  12. There are too many unhelpful replies to your question. When I asked many years ago for recommendations bald people came out of the word-work to try to shame me into just cutting it all off. Most of them get angry when I suggest they do them, and I'll do me. They need to validate their own choice to themselves or something. Anyways, I've had two good experiences at Apex in Thong Lo. It might be a little more expensive than the average here in Thailand but they had some famous thai personalities use their services in the past so I trusted them more. Quite happy with the results 4 years later.
  13. I watched them fill my tank at a Shell station on Monday and pump stopped short of 1600 baht. They squeezed a little more out of it make a it a nicer looking number. They always do that so the total coming out precisely 1000 baht should not be a rare occurrence each day.
  14. Looking for people in Bangkok who have a mountain bike or might be getting one that might want to meet up to travel to areas outside of Bangkok for downhill and other biking adventures. I have the ability to haul a total of 3 or 4 bikes.
  15. Has anyone used this 23,000 baht colonscopy screening package at Bumrungrad? I'm curious how much total after preop/postop medicine and consultation I would be paying. Thanks. https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/packages/colon-screening
  16. I test drove the Haval H6 in January at Central Bang Na and it was an enjoyable test drive. You get a lot of tech/safety features for your money. The only deal breaker for me personally was it just felt a little too large for my liking and I just have a harder time judging clearance distances with larger vehicles. Others may find the size a positive. Maybe I should have test drove the smaller Jolien but I ended up buying a low mileage Volvo XC40 plug in hybrid instead that I felt more at home in.
  17. I can't eat horseradish therefore I also can't the stomach the fake wasabi made from it. However in Japan I had real and expensive wasabi and now I can at least understand why some people enjoy it.
  18. You may need something bigger but have you looked at the new HRV for this year? Its a hybrid.
  19. Had 2 AZ shots , Pfizer in the US three weeks ago, and then most recently on return to BKK I used a shot of Moderna I had bought in July from Bumgrungrad. Those along with having had the Delta variant and an ICU stay in April I hope will make this variant as mild as possible if we should cross paths.
  20. Do any versions of MG ZS come with blind spot monitoring? Usually there is some kind of indicator in the side mirrors that lets the driver know there is something in the adjacent lane. Had this on my Mazda CX3 before and it might have saved me from hitting a motorcycle that appeared out of nowhere on my left after had I initially checked that nothing was there.
  21. Any one heard anything as to when the new Ford Ranger announced last month will be available to spec and order in Thailand?
  22. Is the reason for this requirement so that if you aren't coming from an approved country you don't just try to stay in the US for one day and then try to come to Thailand? Does anyone have something official from Thailand that says the same thing? I only want to enter the US for 2 weeks in December.
