It's not the Big Bikes they should be targeting.. They are the big shiny obvious targets but they are far out-numbered by the little bikes.

Almost every M-Slaz has a "modified" i.e. LOUD exhaust fitted. even the little Waves are getting in on the act.

I live in a high-floor condo and especially at night I can "track" one of these for at least one or two kilometers..

Of course it should be fully legalized but never will be as big pharma will lose too much money if everyone can grow their own

Never will be legalized?

Time to update your database... Uruguay and Canada, sovereign nations, have already legalized recreational use. Plus nine American states. All of these political entities allow growing your own at home, while also maintaining the medical use structures.

I love the headlight set-up!

Ghostrider....

Could it have something to do with scooter design vs, regular motorcycle set-up?

I have a Sym 400i maxi-scooter and a Honda CBR300R. On a normal road around Pattaya and on the highway the Sym has a very comfortable ride. On other roads, the "bumpy" ones, it's almost bone-jarring. Mostly from the front end. But the front forks are, I think, ok. Checked at dealership.

The CBR handles these bumpy roads much better.

Same with the Sym 400i... led lights can't be replaced. I also thought i was being misinformed at the dealership so i emailed the factory service department in Taiwan. Entire dash including speedo, tach and odometer 7000 baht. Shocking.

It's only the lights in the gas gauge and the odometer/clock etc. The gauges themselves still work just dark at night. I can live with that but it's certainly not good for the end-user.

No my friend. That is not 'Parmesan'. Much less "real Parmesan".

Even ignoring that it was made in the USA, real 'Parmesan' is matured for a minimum of twelve months. That thing is matured for ten months. Closer to a Grana Padano.

Then likely there are very many other regulations that are likely flouted in making this cheese.

 

It's just a travesty that they are allowed to call it Parmesan.

But if you are used to eating low quality products, how would be expected to know better?

 

We don't allow those crappy products to be sold.

A rose by any other name is still a rose..

You better be Italian, otherwise it's you that's being pedantic and argumentative. You have "appellation controlee" or whatever the cheese version is, as a sop to the Italians and French.

Producers outside the EU have every right to call their cheese parmesan.

No. It absolutely is not.

 

 

 

ok..you want to throw down on this?

Tell every producer outside of that small area that they aren't making parmesan.

And do it without resorting to that EU  regional trademark bs.

As far as I know that rule is the same in the EU also. In fact the Thai label seems to go a step further by indicating that the largest ingredient accounts for 63.7% of the whole.

I actually think that is a fairly low percentage (63.7%) of parmesan cheese but way more than 1%. 555

I bought another American brand of grated parmesan at Makro and noted the inclusion of powdered cellulose to prevent clumping, as they say. I would expect a product like this to be greater than 90% cheese.

Currently, I have been grating  blocks of Grand Padano Parmesan, but for ease of use I have no problem using pre-grated.

While I don't agree 100% of all of what Alex Jones says I would say if he is getting banned by Facebook, Apple etc. then he must be doing something right. He is at least trying to wake up the average cucked Western man to stop letting the whole world walk all over him by telling him who he is supposed to be, what he is supposed to say, and what he is supposed to believe. 

oops..I think you outed yourself.

Here's a tip to maintaining credibility... never, ever..use the word cucked. Reason being that it exposes the user as a "certain demographic", shall we say...

Ok.. having had a moment or to to reflect, I realize that I should have stuck with the issue at hand and not allowed myself to reply in kind to Mr. CA's post.

The issue is a dysfunctional American President trying to muscle an old friend and reliable ally into accepting a deal which is much better for one than the other.

Trudeau, after dropping out of school Spent his time as a pampered socialite until he went into politics and then it was all ideology all the time.

You have had a couple of knuckle raps already but you want to double down?

Take your Trumpista-style political BS and find another place for it.. my suggestion as to where shall remain unmentioned..

When you are having an adult moment, consider the fact that first his party and then the electorate (by unexpected majority) rejected these ad hominum attacks.

If rice is sticking to the pan..it's a crap rice cooker. Seems a couple of posters are making a virtue out of a necessity. Soaking, heating, salt. They just have a crap rice cooker.

I have owned several (including some given as gifts). Only the name brand cooker I bought here in Thailand had this problem. Like JT, I gave that one away and bought a more expensive Toshiba. End of the stuck-on rice problem. If the rice is sticking, why use a rice cooker.. as one poster already noted.

The video in post # 80 is very true. I am a Canadian and have been spending 6 months in Thailand and 6 months in Canada for many years but am now starting to consider staying in Thailand permanently. I love Canada but since Jihad Justine Trudope was elected he is finishing what Pierre Trudeau started, destroying Canada. He is giving away Billions of dollars to countries that want to kill us, welcoming illegal economic refugee border crossers with open arms giving them free housing, medical, money and destroying anything that points out our past. All he has done since elected is dance in every gay pride parade, openly invite refugees into Canada for the free benifets while denying any increase in benifets to veterans or seniors that built this country and trying to turn Canada into another Muslim caliphate and impliment Sharia law which is funny because they throw people of his persuasion off rooftops. If one of our neglected vets don't take him out or he gets re-elected then as I love Canada sad to say I think I will have to stay in Thailand as I don't wish to live in Canastan

555. What an ignorant rant...

You forgot the "r" in your avatar name.
