Great to hear that my friend, wow, such a long trip, ergh, that information better not be known to ur girl, man he he. Those police, how come never offer kopi money instead? Down there, those helmets that the Thai people are wearing cannot make it leh in an accident. So freaky inconsistent, those police. The 3 of U, anyone speak Thai? Must be real difficult when U were there.

[Tashi]

Wooooooooohooooooooooooooooo, Firebladers rejoice!!! 7 Sep is the day Honda will announce the 2008 CBR1000RR!!!

 

2 display models in fact have already arrived in our shores!!!

 

I have pix of them, but unfortunately I can't post them. After reading the press kit, I can tell you all the other litre bikes out there will have to take 2 steps back and bow to the new king. It is true, the 08 Blade has the highest power to weight ratio compared to any litre bikes out there.

 

As Steve Jobs would say, one more thing ... the new exhaust is the most beautiful and original stubbly exhaust I've ever seen.

 

But here's the only thing I am allowed to post.

 

We will kick Ducati ass!

Yah such a long trip first time doing such feat

Just massage my butt only mah nothing more than that:angel:

The old man doesn't look like can be offered kopi money, I knew it from the beginning

The helmet there very jialat one for sure cant offer any protection

None of us speak Thai but the officer can speak some malay

He was saying "Malaysia, Singapore pakai topi sini pon mesti kena pakai topi"

In another way also he meant that we all are bochap here hence our country is so serious about all this:cheeky:

Here's the piece of paper on the side of the box. Have to blur out the engine & chassis numbers, they will show where the bikes came from.

CBR 1000 RR coil recall....

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

To cut the long story short, here is a summary of what happened over the weekend to my CBR1000RR.

 

Model: CBR1000RR

Year of Manufacture: 05 (yes, the 05 model which has the coil problem)

 

26/07/07: Problem started-headlights failed, battery weak, and couldnt start bike after riding home for abt 30mins. Tried restarting but no chance. Was advised by fellow forumer (the guy who sold me the bike) to call LTA/Boon Siew the next day.

 

27/07/07: Called Boon Siew in the morning-they checked their database that my bike is not from them-hence they would not replace it. Was advised to call LTA with regards to new ruling governing manufacturer recalling problematic coils. Spoke to an LTA officer (Andy Choo) who took down my chassis and contact number. Within 10 mins, he called back and told me that my bike is brought in by Mah Pte Ltd and asked me to get them to replace my coil as per ruling. He even gave me Mah's number and told me to call him if i encounter any issues.

 

I called Mah, told them the issue and that LTA has advised me that the importer has to be responsible for the replacement. They took my chassis number to check against their record and agreed to the replacement. They even arrange for pick up of my bike at my convenient time.

 

28/07/07: Tow truck collected my bike in morning, and i was left with no ride for the weekend.

 

30/07/07 - 31/07/07: After 2 days, called Mah and bike is not ready yet. They are awaiting new coil from supplier. The wait was the only sad part of this experience.

 

01/08/07: Called Mah and was told that my bike would be ready by end of day. However couldnt collect as i was working.

 

02/08/07: Went down to Mah in morning. They have replaced the coil, and flywheel at no cost. The only cost was $37.45 for the towing. Honda gives 7 years warranty after they replace the coil and i asked Mah if they would give it. They said yes, and if anything happen to go back to them. So i left the place a happy man, back to my ride that I was missing so much over the weekend.

 

Summary:

1. Get LTA to help you for the coil recall program.

2. Agent of PI is responsible for your coil recall program.

 

Hope my experience will benefit all you riders out there.

 

my bike is not from BS

so i called Mah and use this forumer foo francis experience

exactly one month ago

and told them regarding the coil recall.

Mah "vivien" claimed my bike chasis is not within the chasis no

according to the the LTA letter had sent them?

ive called LTA and they say they will call me back

 

Now what?

Wahahahaha youre right lah:cheeky:

Ok great dude I'll wait for ya call:thumb:

Unfortunately you won't see the 08 Blade at Mah open house either. The bikes have been shipped out of SG. No one in SG will acknowledge that these bikes ever existed due to some issues. Everyone you talk to will act dumb.
