I hear Thailand is a little 'unstable'. Vietnam is industrializing just like China.

I don't know who it is either. Electrical conduit is made from high grade steel and quite strong besides being flexible enough to bend to suit. I was amazed at its expensive cost per foot when I was a Construction Inspector. Pots and pans are made from high temp stainless steel or equally high grade aluminum. Even the Japanese don't use that. Luke must be talking about the BMW C 650 scooter.

I use those cheap aluminum pans for long range targets. When the cheap Teflon starts chipping off most people toss them. You would be surprised how well they hold up, never crack from impact just punch thru. A coat of white spray paint now and then so you can see them. Very good material in them. Luke ain't old enough to remember the cheap crap that came out of japan after the war. About all most of it was good for was carnival prizes, the chinese never have made stuff that low in quality either. There is a reason they lost the war. Many reasons. And I am just old enough to remember that crap too. john

I forgot to mention that electrical conduit is also galvanized steel to resist corrosion. Imagine a scooter that's not only made from high grade aluminum but also rust proofed steel. Geez! That scooter would last for decades.
