It is also good for exploring places that are simply not accessible by car or even motorcycle...and Bangkok is full of hidden cul de sacs and treasures.
I also use it for urgent errands, such as this dash to the local Macro Superstore to acquire supplies of cat food.
After 4 years of use, it is still running on its first set of tyres, and everything is working fine except for the front suspension forks that are sounding and acting like they might be rusting inside...soon, I expect, replacement forks will be on the list.
