[Pauche]

I just put out a MO before I saw your post. Put your name down if you're interested. These clever little things look like they can run and hide away from me anytime, I should get 3.

 

I’ll place a MO soon. Have to order from US. If anyone of you guys pass by LAB or something, check with them if they have these. Otherwise I’ll just order place an order next week and have it shipped over. You can out your name down if interested. Price wise, not sure how much. Probably the delivery will cost more than those darn things.

 

1. Tashi = 3

2. Rick = 2

3. LD = 2

4. Edwin = 1

5. Ashraff = 2

6. cosmos =2

7. Ken = 5

8. Pauche = 1

 

Total = 18

erm why dont u get a box or two to make the shipping costs more worth while. It looks damn useful, im sure u can sell it off piecemeal at garage sales.

I'll probably lose them all before I can sell them off.

[chilly]

If everything goes as plan,pizza for u

There’s this old run down restaurant in KL, it’s been operating before the Japanese Occupation. They have this dish where the chicken is stuffed with bird’s nest and baked for hours. When the chicken is cut open, the bird’s nest flow out like pearls. Only RM500 for that dish, convert to SGD, very cheap.

 

Can I change my mind about the pizza? Hahaha.

 

Eddy, no problemo. Bird’s nest chicken on you!

 

I’m currently asking for a breakdown of the cost of those dang critters that ships from Tennessee. For 20 pieces + shipping, it’s USD99.xx.

 

You guys may want to revise your orders. If we get more, we can share the shipping and push for a discount as well.

 

That Speedy guy who has his own FireBlade site which Chilly posted sometime back did say it’s a good tool, and it does look it.

[Speedpass]

Those chain oiler , can use for other bikes ? M interested to give it a try . How it works anyway ?

you mean to increase our order or decrease?

[Tashi]

Speed, go back one page, there’s a pic of the tool. You attach the tool to the straw which is in turn attached to your favourite can of lube and spray away. Instead of spraying all over the floor, lower fairing and rims, the tool directs the lube to the chain. Currently I keep a stack of wipes in my bike to shield those parts while I lube away. After spraying a third of the length of the chain, my paper towel is usually soaked. Hopefully with this tool, I save on lube and wipes. It’s not specific to CBR1000RR that’s what I can tell you.

 

Ed, I understand it’s quite ex to pay for a cheap plastic. I asked because the price exceeded my expectation and in case anyone wants to drop or reduce their order. However, if any of you have any friends who want to get them, order for them as well, so we can tip the economies of scale.

 

I’m not putting this out in the MO page cos I’d rather deal with people I’m familiar with.

Will get stomachache after eating or not?

 

Great idea, just signed up for vPost and am asking for a requote.

 

In other news, as Apple & Motorola prepares to unveil the iPod phone this evening, Honda will also be showing the new 2006 bikes to their paying members. Hopefully pix will leaked out soon.

Noticed that no more fake ram air at the front.

Black engine casing & swingarm.

Fairings are 1 piece instead of 2.

Not much changes other than mentioned by Tashi.

[Tashi]

Thanks Abang Chilly, was looking fo the other pix. I wonder if the existing pipe can be moved over to the new bike. Hmmm.

 

I think Honda just changed the fairing, paint the swingarm black, used a lighter pipe, retuned the engine, that's it! Everything else remains the same, coil should be the old char-grilled type.

After looking at the photos with minor changes,still thinking of upgrading

The official launch will be 08/09 2morrow at around 0300 hrs s'pore time

[Tashi]

Honda should have at least included a slipper clutch and 5 spoked rims.

[Tashi]

The next thing you know, Honda will release a promo video, showing the 2006 Blade cloning a RC211V bike, with B grade actors dressed in lab coats. One of them will again be holding an Apple PowerBook, with the Apple logo taped up.
