Ah sweetheart, now you see it and feel it - as you grow old, things happen. And then people will say, just eat less and do a few more reps at the gym - don't be so lazy - have more will-power. 

 

I am so happy you have a pet name for me - - 

 

Yours truly - Diabetes legs... 

I'm sure my back would hurt more if i was as overweight as you

Yes, you sweet young lad - it always starts with those rationalizations... just wait until you make it to my advanced age...

Avoiding the road bumps is the best advice, I'm doing that and riding slower, seems to be working, new YSS shocks, not noticed any difference maybe placebo marketing or maybe 10%.

 

2nd road bad

3rd road half of it good

Beach road good

Sukhumvit mostly good

Buakhao surprisingly good if ride not too fast.

It's all the little short cuts which are bad so I'm avoiding those until I'm bored of doing it

Man, I totally agree with you on the road classification. However, like you say, the best choice is to slow down and take the <deleted>. Good luck.

ps - - you know, most of us stopped teasing people about physical issues in 5th grade... I was thin most of my life... but maybe if you were a little smarter, you might be an astute investor and have the money to take care of yourself.. you could eat a 2nd meal a day...

I had a Honda wave 125

I took the seat to a local upholsterer

He put more than 1 inch of padding in and wider 

Job done i never suffered from a jarred back again

Did many kms in her and its still running on farm tracks up in Udon

 

Maybe comfortable but...

 

Rather ugly, wouldn't you say?

For what it's worth, the smaller scooters always give me lower back pain after a few km. Never a problem with a larger one such as PCX and above, due to better riding position and weight distribution of the bike. With those small scooters, you're always compensating with your body one way or another, even without realising it.

It blows my mind how clever you comment is.

Bravo.

Or the Op,  could push the boat right out,  and just slow down when the speed bumps come. 

I do wonder when I see these sort of threads. 

 

 

The clue is sort of in the name isn't it. Unless people think the idea is to speed over them.

Here in Isaan it's not only the speed bumps but all the other holes and and then the bumps when they fill them in but don't level them. It's bad in a car, although I suppose it's easier to avoid on a bike
