The power of $$$

For their bikes also not much choices on where to put the P-Plates..

I think the best way would be to call up LTA and have them answer your queries.

Just tell the guardroom that you are taking IPPT there. Most likely they will let you in without much fuss.

The bike shop wants to charge you $3000 for the pistons, and $400 for the dismantling of the engine. And a later $4000 for the so called 'storage fees'. Nice. A bike shop that services MotoGP bikes, perhaps? If you can, borrow money to get your engine repaired. The lay it up and sell it. If you are able to fetch a reasonable price for your spec 1, it should leave you with enough money to go back to the bike shop and negotiate with them over the 'storage fees'. Although negotiate isn't exactly what I'd do if I came across such a bike shop.

In that case every rider islandwide should do away with their number plates.

Actually now you can layup at your carpark also. You just have to provide the carpark code when you fill up the layup application form. And remember to get your season parking.

Depends on how much they will charge you for providing you with the inspection note. Then after that at the inspection centre, it will be about $70 for the inspection.

Or the easier part would be to get your bike shop to swap the IU units and handle the necessary procedures for you. No such thing as 'not possible'.

His lawyer is claiming 8K from your insurance company? What bike was he riding at that point of time? And besides, I don't think NTUC will bear the full 8K claim. Usually they'll bargain it down to an amount both parties are willing to accept, which is much much lesser than 8K I can assure you that. I would advise you to contest this and inform your lawyer/bike shop/whoever is handling this insurance claim for you about this and see what are the options available to you. But be forewarned, this will turn out to be a very long and painful process and you might even be required to produced all your medical certificates and receipts(so keep all of them) and you might even have to make appearances in courts to fight your case. I'm guessing it'll be a year or two at least before this case concludes.

Actually, now you can also layup your vehicle at a carpark, you just have to provide the carpark code while filling up the application form for the layup procedure, that's all. And don't forget to get your season parking.

TS, perhaps you can start by writing an email (and attaching the NETS statement) about the events that occured that day and see if you can get them to waive the fine. Usually they'll give you a reply within 2-3 weeks.

I believe that the TS isn't asking what would happen if you ride from one end of Singapore to the other with only 1 hand on the handlebar. Rather, I think he's concerned with what would happen IF the TP saw you riding with only 1 arm.. Which you can always try to siam by saying that you were scratching your other arm/something flew into your eye/scratching face. It all depends on how well you're able to talk your way out of it and how charitable the TP is feeling. Although I think 1-arm riding constitutes 'reckless riding' and you can get 6 demerit points.

LOL, actually if it's me, I'll choose to go to jail rather than to pay the fine.. Anyway TS, did you try to appeal the first time you were caught? I had a friend who was a first timer also but he filed a successful appeal and thus was only required to pay a fine of $500, instead of the orginal $5000 that they slapped on him.

My parents were dead set against me taking my 2B license a few years ago, and even told me not to come home if I enrolled for it.. But a few months later, when I passed, my dad brought home a Gilera catalog and said that the runner looked nice and asked if I wanted it. I politely declined and went for a sports bike. Lol. And even up till now, my mum always tells me to go buy food or other stuff like bread or groceries on my bike.

Or a brand new 2.0L Japanese/Korean car with COE.

IMO, last time my phantom TA200 could achieve the best FC with SPC RON92..

I used to use Turtlewax Chrome Polish to polish my old phantom's pipe, works wonders.. And it comes in a nondescript white bottle and is cheap to boot.

There's no difference with regards to the logic of getting the 'biting point'. Just that for a car, you control the clutch with your left leg but for a bike, you use your left hand instead

I remember I still got a box packed full with the various motors (plasma dash, hyper dash, sprint dash..) collecting dust somewhere.. haha..

According to him, he still feels that a bicycle is "too light and unstable, tyres too thin... etc etc." Anyway, I guess the average time for a person to pass 2B varies, but a safe bet would be to say around 3-5 months from the date of your registration?

Actually, I think it doesn't really matter cuz I've a friend who has had a Class 2 license for more than 10 years already - and he still can't cycle for nuts. What matters is that you must put your heart to it, and learn to take the falls and knocks well - only then would you improve as a rider. Cheers
