  1. Thanks it looks like a decent option, though looking for some modifications to lights too
  2. Wondered if anyone knows a good place to get some upgrades done to my adv 160? somewhere with a fair price and good workmanship? I know there's that place on Soi Buakhow, I've bought some gear from their shop and seemed ok, though the google reviews are mixed on upgrades. Any tips appreciated thanks
  3. No, not for me anymore. I stopped a long time ago when I started dating my now wife, it can be a big expense yeah, We do think about leaving pattaya area sometimes as dont need the nightlife, but it's ok here know people and like to be by the sea, don't want to move to hua hin, or and tourist southern place, so where else?
  4. I live in Jomtien for about 40k a month, well kind of, as I have plenty of backup savings, for emergencies. First off I'm married and she's decent, in that she doesn't ask me for money to send to family or any nonsense like that. In fact she works online (10-20k a month typically) and sometimes pays for meals out and trips to the cinema. She keeps the rest of to save and help her sister on occasion, I pay rent, bills, food. We go out once a week, to restaurant, cinema etc, some times more to a local mookata or something. We drink very little generally but sometimes we'll go to a bar, maybe once a month, we like Wizard beer. We have no debts, or bad habits like gambling. We live in a pretty nice 50sq mtr rented condo, run the air con but not excessively, shopping from Makro, we both can cook. We have a big TV and netflix, 2 bikes, I go to a local gym. We've travelled a lot in the past so now not so much just in Thailand, go by bus and stay in cheap hotels. Lifestyle is very nice really. Without backup savings and investments it's an issue though. I know I'm covered if I really want to buy something, have an emergency, or go on a special holiday.
  5. Yeah tried it on holiday in Bali recently and liked it on the front, noticed it was a bit uncomfortable on the back but put it down to the bad road surfaces there. I have only myself to blame, for not buying the uglier but functional Nmax. Never know from reviews yes, wife hates the click style, I looked at the Aerrox but same hatred and high pillion seat. Definitely thinking bout changing seat I'm 5'4, wonder if that would affect the warranty? Will check tire pressure yeah, maybe can go down a bit.
  6. I wanted an upgrade for our only bike our wife's aging Scoopy, especially wanted the better safer abs brakes, and a bit more acceleration. Anyway bought one of these adv 160 which many people recommended, don't like it. Rode as the pillion today, miserable ride, bumpy, uncomfortable, constantly want to shuffle, painful to sit on, well unhappy. It's ok for me just riding it alone, but nothing that special just typical uninspiring scooter ride, a bit better than Scoopy of course with acceleration, but ofc not fun to ride like a forza or motorbike. Honestly did kind of buy it as it looks better than most scoots, and a few people recommended. I massively regret not buying the Nmax as that's nice as a pillion, rented it before, or even filano as probably comfy like the scoopy ,but with abs. My fault, guess I'm sadly stuck with it now, would obviously waste money, if I sold it straight away. Wonder if there's any aftermarket changes? any tips for making the pillion ride better, change the seat maybe, wonder if the seat angle is part of the discomfort, wider flatter seat is nicer. Or maybe sell it after a year get some use out of it first. Any thoughts welcome
  7. Yes it's a trade deficit thing but still easily solved, Cambodia for example has this big tariff imposed for it's trade deficit, so Cambodian consumers need to buy more US stuff simple. If their families started buying model Ys for example it would help and it's a great car, and big Cambodian tech companies could start buying Nvdia GPUs, anmd their govt could purchase a load of F35s, defence boosted and problem solved, easy.
  8. Yeah I turn the light on my apple watch when walking down our dark soi at night, suspect someone speeding down on their bike pissed might run me down if they don't see
  9. Go fund me says an ATV accident,, not motorbike? If she was doing some kind of organised activity they should be giving out full face helmets. If ATV on the road asking for trouble.
