Living Life to the fullest!
I checked out [B]EM Motors[/B] show room. But their units simply did not compare to [U]AJEV[/U] units that I look at when it came to the features I was seeking in a EV two wheel transportation. Prices are competitive to ICE units. But for my money I went with [U]AJEV[/U].

Just bought a unit from the above company. My unit has two removable batteries. Each one will provide a [I]reported[/I] 75 KM range. Engine is 2000 K. Unit will run on one battery. Cost 30,000 THB less than comparable ICE units of the same size.
[U]Full Size Electric Motorcycle[/U]
I cannot justify the removable battery units due to the price compared to ICE equipped unit. The plug in types are not practical to me as I live in a multi-story residential building. So, I will buy a ICE for [I]fun over the road travel[/I]. I took up motorcycling very late in life. I wish it was something I had done early in my life. My one recommendation is that new riders seek out professional training. I just finished up mine with a half day on the track. Where I was able to push myself and develop the confidence of my ability to control my machine. I was doing the lean like the Moto GP racers be doing (just a lower speeds). It is powerful to learn a new skill. Now I am setting out to master it. Many friends told me I was crazy, they wouldn't do it, to be careful. I refuse to live my life in fear. I am enjoying it to the max. I thank Thailand for that. As life is more than just flying around the world in order to pay for pussy.
I would live in Thailand even if there was not all this pussy available to me. I have zero problems finding girls I consider young and attractive off of [U]Thai Friendly[/U]!

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2999533]Those are the biggest hurdles for me to consider before buying a full size electric motorcycle.
Right now I drive an electric bicycle around Bangkok and love it so much I will never buy a gas-powered vehicle again. Not for around here. I can go and drive anywhere a full size motorcycle can go but with the added freedom of more easily taking the sidewalk or at least easily riding up onto the sidewalk in short enough distances to maneuver around a traffic jam stalemate, park right on the sidewalk conveniently at the entrance of my destination because that is where the bicycle racks are, no license is required, no registration, no insurance, no helmet required by law.
The downsides are the top speed for this bicycle version is 35 kph, which also keeps it a much safer ride and, frankly, fast enough in a high traffic area like Bangkok, and I can only ride about 30 km before I need to recharge the battery, which is best done overnight as you suggest. Takes about 5 hours from zero to full. Costs about 2 baht in electricity.
However, the recharging infrastructure is, as you also suggest, the big issue that must be addressed.
In my case, the bike has a portable and removable battery that I pop out and carry by the built-in handle to the lift up to my 18th floor apartment and plug it into an ordinary electrical outlet via a small charging unit similar to the kind we use on laptop computers..[/QUOTE]
Great series of reports HorseTrader
[QUOTE=HorseTrader;3000421]The reason I could send the scammer away without payment was because I insist on meeting girls either in the hotel lobby or the parking lot. I never give room number until we are at the room. It's easy to ghost them on ThaiFriendly and Line.[/QUOTE]Been posted up in Pattaya for nearly two years. The Cmdr had a bait and switch one time. Girl was prettier than her pictures. She performed well. She left with money. I wrote it up back when the [U]Pattaya Reports[/U] thread contained reports.
But those out there who cannot afford the 100 THB for taxi fare to send a girl away, I am sure the inconvenience of going out in to the damn lobby of your hotel is worth it.

Update for Explorer8939 on The Cmdr's trading activities
So much for the market being down leading to individuals [I]flying[/I] because they can not pay their bar tabs, bar fines or short term fees. [B]ROTFLMAO[/B]!

Kamphaengdin Massage Shops Chiang Mai
[QUOTE=HorseTrader;3000405]The shop was on Kamphaengdin. When walking from Tha Phae toward Loi Khro, it will be the first shop on the left. When you enter that shop, the foot massage chair is straight ahead (I started there), the floor is lower off to the right, and curtained massage tables are to the back left (I finished there).[/QUOTE]I know the shop, it is Mintra Massage, usually very pretty ladies sitting outside. The next shop is Sunrise Massage, then Thara Song Massage. Just a little further down is Healthy Massage.
I almost never make it to Mintra, since I typically come the other direction. A lady named Fon is at Healthy Massage in the morning and very early afternoon. Fon loves, loves "boom boom" and does not like condoms. I loved to see Fon after a workout at the gym. Then there is Faa at Thara Song typically starting in January, and typically afternoon and evening only. Faa has large man-mades that are so well done they seem natural. I've known Faa for about 5 or 6 years. Always an excellent time. Faa is a little older, probably over 40, but a really sensuous provider. Then there is Cindy at Sunrise, also older, and also very sensuous. I met Cindy this last winter and repeated many times. So I never experienced Mintra, but I will when I return to Chiang Mai this coming November.
I forget names too easily

I don't remember my lady's name, but she was a very well preserved lady of about 55 years.
I don't know how you remember the names of these small shops and the ladies that you see. I often don't even see the shop name, I just look at the ladies outside and remember how the shop looks for my return. Sometimes the ladies tell me their names, but I forget 5 seconds later. In March I repeated with one pretty lady for 4 sessions, but I have no idea the name of her shop. For unknown reason, I remember the shop names on Soi 24, Sukhumvit, Bangkok. I spend a lot of time in Samui and get massages almost every day (some erotic, some standard), but I don't know the name of any of those shops. Same for lower Sukhumvit in Bangkok.
Chiang Mai, Kamphaengdin, Remembering Names

Have had many good times on Kamphaengdin, but also elsewhere, including Loi Kroh. I'll look for the older lady in Mintra when I return. Being older, I prefer the older ladies, and often they are a very nice surprise. Will discuss in the Chiang Mai thread when I return in November (after a couple of days in BKK).
Back to your regularly scheduled program.
