  1. Benelli hasn't been Italian for quite-a-while as the Chinese did a Billy Gates and just bought them out...closed the factories, laid off generations of Italian middle class laborers and techs and moved it all back to China...still they down play this and hope that everyone may remember Benelli as a high quality Italian Motorcycle company...that they were truly back in the 1960-1980's...

     

    You think given that...the price would be lower...???

  2. Several years ago...Thai Stallions (125-400cc) were all the rage especially the CT-400 (being 50% the cost of the Yamaha 400cc)...the streets were wild with their loud exhaust and everyone and their second cousin either had one or was planning on getting one...the last real reviews were from 2016-18 and now, NOTHING?

    You hardly see any of them out-and-about anymore and they usually are the 125-150cc models...

    What happened...?

    I see their Facebook page is active but, I don't see many out on the road(s) any more...

    Their prices seem to have remained the same with the CT-400 remaining @ about 115,000B...

    No new reviews...but, then again...no complaints either...

    How strange?

    Still interested as the CT-400 (the white tanked model) is a dead ringer (well from a distance) for my 1968 CB-450 Honda...

    So if anyone with the inside "gimme" and willing to take a moment to share what'z up with the Stallion; I would deeply appreciate the kindness.

    Please let me know if I should just walk on by or run up and put my money down...

    Also...their 250cc V-twin seems rather cool looking in the brochure photos...any good?

    Thanks!!!

  3. Having a few dinars and pesos set aside and they seem to add up to enough to get a 27-inch I-Mac but...I am having trouble pushing the "buy now" button.

    I have a short list of questions that might seem "stupid" to all you pro-users out there but, which I have been beyond frustrated by the internet's inability to get me even simple answers.

    This is a major purchase for me (the same price as a Royal Enfield 350cc motorbike) and as a live-long PC User (well ever since the Apple GS went down in flames) and I can't seem to discover any of the coveted, secret answers to my (below) questions...state secrets? That's the way Google is treating my search requests by supplying me with all of the most current data from...2008.

    Again...any kind help, generous help with Intel and general advice will be greatly appreciated and allow me to support your claim on gaining merit - to use in your next lifetime...

     

    Thanks!

     

    A. I gather the middle model ($1900 USD) is the best deal? Is it...why?

    B. Everyone says buy without ram update and add yourself due to Apple's unrealistic greed but, NO one has offered where I can get third party ram here in Bangkok other than ordering from the USA (Amazon) and shipping here...as I rather not do because of previous maulings I have had at the hands of smiling custom's men (and several ladies to be PC and fair)...Is there any place that sells such ram locally and what kind of price range are we looking at.

    C. Most people speak highly of the official apple store for service, stock and general usefulness...Is what I heard gossip truth or am I missing some gem dealership that might not have such a large fan base?

     

    Again...

    THANKS!!!!

  4. I have a multi-entry O Visa...couldn't do my 90-day at the end of March as the borders had all closed and I got a 60 day permit that expires 30 May...First, second, third reading of all the postings made me feel that I can stay until 31 July...then, several new posts got me confused again...I know that I am being stupid but my smarter cousin was Forest Gump...but, Can I stay or do I got to go...???

    TIA!!!

  6. Have Non-Imm ) 1 year multiple entry visa...as the borders closed down before my 30 March 90 day visa run. I did the 60 day extension which takes me thru to 30 May 2020...

    My question is coming back do I need a virus test and virus insurance?

    I know that virus testing is many times impossible and if you can then, they are extremely costly...

    I never heard of $100K virus insurance? I am not readying anything more about this - in how people are getting...

    Where can one get those?

    I am confused and concerned about not being able to come back...

    Any suggestions would be appreciated...

  7. I have a Non-immigrant O visa based on marriage and I am scheduled to do a 90 day trip as normal on the 28th.

    I had originally booked to go to Penang - Then they locked the country down.

    Re-booked Vientiane but, now the Vientiane Times is reporting that they have stopped all visas on arrival/e-visas as of today.

      http://vientianetimes.org.la/freeContent/FreeConten_Govt56.php

    Then this nonsense of having to have virus insurance coming back...

    But, that isn't my question only explaining my need to ask...

    My Non-imm O Multi entry visa expires in July 2020 so this is just a 90 day thing...

    My stupid question is:

    Can I go down to my local immigration office (not in Bangkok) and get a 60 day extension or not?

    What is the process...

    Told you...it was a stupid question!

  8. http://vientianetimes.org.la/freeContent/FreeConten_Govt56.php

    All visas on arrival and they said tourist visas ended - as of today.

    They did say that you can get a visa from the embassy. I e-mailed the embassy and their consult but, they have not answered if this is true/

    I have a trip booked from the 28th of March that seems to be yet another lost ticket as I had originally booked for Penang - which they locked down the other day.

    What to do...it's a long train trip to Bangkok to just get told "NO."

    Then coming back...the news says that I will need Virus Insurance (never heard of that) and a doctor's slip to get back in....is that true?

    Where does one get virus insurance...?

  9. I have just got a new passport and my Non-0 1yr visa multiple entry is in my old passport. This visa expires in a couple of weeks and I plan to leave to get a new one. I am confused as to my need to transfer this visa to my new passport before I leave or if I can leave from the airport by showing both passport?

    I ask because my time frames are short and I was told by my local immigration office that they don't do this and the I need to go to Bangkok to get it done.

    If I don't really need a trip to Bangkok to do something that isn't necessary, I would rather not.

    Please advise me if I can leave at the airport without this transfer or if I am setting myself for a world of immigration hurt, I would deeply appreciate.

    I am a simple man, so please, simple answer that won't confuse me more.

    TIA!!!
