At a guess, y'all don't ride scooters in TH. Used to, expecially first couple years here, as didn't have a car, so more than a few all day trips on the scooter. Some overnight, but none I'd consider long distance. Back isn't up to it now, but always pleasureable, and never paranoid of crashing or even coming close on the open road. Knocking around town, though I drove way too fast, so any sudden adjustment were probably just as much my fault as the other persons. Still knock around town, on E-scooter/MB, will do 90 kph, great torque, so not an E-scooter some may think of. Range is 75 kms so not going long distance no matter, which my back is happy about. Protective clothing for me was always, shorts, lite shirt, unless weather dictated warmer clothes, both here/TH & USA. And yea, use to get a lot a slack for it, but hey, what ever one is comfy with. Never had a bad case of road rash, thankfully. Helmet, always mandatory, as the coconut cracks way too easy.
