A symptom of the disease that prevents tourists from choosing Thailand as a place to go ?
I appreciate the effort to show me some TV options. I did watch some live stuff last night… but artistic (blah blah blah, you fill in the blanks) and ping pong??? I can’t go back to last week and see if real sports action was shown on Thai TV. Again, I was not aware that tiddlywinks and team rope skipping were “sports”. Thanks for a pole-vaulting experience, -

Best tires for Scooter. Michelin, Pirelli, IRC?
Here’s the thing, as rubber ages, it interacts with the air in the atmosphere, causing oxidation. Oxidation causes the rubber to harden and become brittle. The rubber will wear away much more slowly but will offer significantly lower levels of grip. Oxidation also shows up as cracks or “checking” on the sidewall. Cracking on the sidewall, or in between the traction blocks, indicates severe oxidation, and it’s a sign that the tires should be replaced. This brings us to the third reason why a tire wears out. Heat Cycles Heat increases the rate of oxidization, so if your bike lives in a hot garage, or you live in a hot environment, your tire will lose its grip more rapidly because the heat accelerates the rate of decomposition of the rubber. What’s more, every time your tire warms up and cools down, it goes through a heat cycle, which also compromises the grip the tire can provide. When a tire has gone through so many heat cycles that it can no longer provide adequate levels of grip, that tire is “baked-out.” And not all tires deal with heat cycles the same way. A race tire or even a DOT race tire that can withstand extreme heat punishment on the racetrack may only be able to withstand two or three heat cycles before the level of grip is significantly diminished. While a sport touring tire may not be able to withstand the harsh punishment and heat like a race tire can, it can typically survive a lifetime of heat cycles from everyday riding stresses before grip decreases. However, tires intended for cooler, wetter climates are less capable of dealing with too much heat when used in hot, dry climates and may bake out long before the tread is worn away. This is part of the reason racers and track day riders use tire warmers. Not only to keep the tire warm and grippy but to reduce the number of heat cycles that the tire will have to endure. This is also why it’s a good idea to try to replace your tires and sets. Your front tire is going through just as many heat cycles as your rear tire and is baking out at the same rate. We’ve seen a lot of riders who will replace the rear tire, and then a few months later replace the front tire, and then a few months after that, replace the rear tire again. So they are always chasing a new set of tires. And nothing makes your bike handle like new like a fresh set of tires. So, again, if you can swing it, it’s always best to replace your tires as a set. But if you can’t, for whatever reason, then at least stick with matched tires. Knowing how old your tires are, or how many heat cycles they’ve endured, maybe a more significant indication as to how worn your tires are than how much tread remains. -

Do you know anyone on dodgy ground ? In danger ?
I've met a few farang nutcases here over the years.. three really stick out for me: one guy was eastern european, he had a couple nazi tattoos on his neck. I questioned him on his tatts, to which he went off on a racist tirade for about an hour. I felt a bit sick afterwards. another guy had a tattoo of a machine gun on his bald head with a couple of tear drops flowing down his cheek. He came and sat next to me at the bar. I did not engage with him at all. Finally during covid I was enjoying a cold beer with my breakfast at one of the few places that remained open for the duration of the pandemic. All of a sudden a farang appeared at the entrance and asked the owner could he use the bog for a pee. She said not unless he buys something.. He then proceeded to whip his thing out and urinated all over her floor, then calmly walked away. bob. -

Will Trump Dump Vance?
I suspect not, for two reasons: Trump is not exactly known for admitting mistakes, and secondly, if the Harris campaign continues to make real headway he will need a fall guy to carry the can. If he does, talk about a poisened chalice, for whichever poor sod takes on the job!
