So many questions to ask but shall keep it to here first .. will continue to browse thru the past threads ..

Pillion doesnt require insurance. But u need one. Haha.

[heeroyuy_z]

First u got to set aside ur oil money ur servicing many, and emergency many. Touch wood if anything happen. For the pillion case there no need. Only u the rider need too. Anything u can ask just ask. I try my best to help ya. My brother too taking his bike licence. Teaching him some ropes too.

It depends on whether u r getting a new bike or 2nd hand bike . New bikes of cos insurance more ex , maybe the range of $500 - 900 for the phantom or Bajaj .

the driving centre didnt send any letters to the house UNTIL after getting license to return the leftover money and do a statement of money spent.

i suggest u take my method You can sign up for the course , go forth

and learn hehe UNTIL ur first road lesson . Let your parents know then. Show them u are able to control urself on a bike. Assure them then they NO CHOICE ahahahah:cheeky:

[Wiliberry]

Yea,i was afraid tat they might mail things to my hse initially..So i asked e lady while i was registering...

1)Nope,no mails will be send to ur hse during e lessons

2)Yes,will mail when u wan get e refund frm ur acc...But tat will b after u got ur licence for quite some time..And u will onli get e mail if u fill in e REFUND form.(Tats if u wan ur refund)

[chiam]

yeah so no worries but remeber to let ur papa mama know yeah

[ramen71]

why need to hide from them.

try to convince them,with their approval and blessing make

u confident on the road and no worries if u got any prob with bikes

as they will sponsor too...

honestly, u wun b able to understand those things by typing.. juz suggest u wait until u can enrol for 2b..

[299]

Least but mostly imptly, do plan ur finance properly. U don't wan to get urself in trouble without thinking when the next insurance, installments, road taxes, petrol, maintenance coming.

[adventchild]

any idea how i should start ? ..

[Speedpass]

any idea how i should start ? ..

 

U can start by saving $ . N best tat u have trustable biker frens who know theri stuff to bring u arnd the shops to ask for quotes . N yes , do not feel shy to ask the mechs wat they r doing while they r servicing other bikes , some mechs r kind to help u out .

 

More importantly , dun juz listen to ppl saying tat yamaha tat bike good or kawa tat bike good , it all depends on ur liking . No use buying a bike n regret abt it .

 

 

Most importantly , keep reading up on safe bike riding techniques from magazines n pratice safe riding on the rd.

[adventchild]

ah .. i see..sadly i dun have friends who have bikes .. ~.~ ...

[adventchild]

oh yeah.. also if i were to get a 2nd hand bike , what will the price usually be ? bike coe insurance totalled up ? .. and monthly maintance fee ?

[chiam]

okay .. thanks for the infos .. oh .. also , can any one describe clutching in and why is it needed and when is it needed and about trottling ? ..

 

clutching in is pulling in the left bar at the handlebar when that happens, the engine is disconnected from power so the bike is in neutral. it is needed when starting a bike or perhaps even at a long traffic light (thats after u grad) throttling is simply add petrol to the engine to burn so power is produced to move the bike

i tried to search with no result on how much $$ is needed when getting a 2nd bike.

lets say someone post 1.5k ta200. do we just pay the 1.5k + transfer fees + get insurance tts all?

total cost to bring bike from original owner to u:

machine price + transfer fee + insurance

 

insurance = age of rider + model and age of bike + premium (1st, 2nd or 3rd party coverage)

 

transfer fee = should be a flat $80 for most 2b bikes

 

Of coz, u mite have to pay more if u get it from shops, as dey got so many paperwork and crap for u to deal with
