now let me juz sit back and wait for the price to rock to the bottom

 

I only know your nick, have we met before in person?

 

I think when Honda built the 08 Blade, they made it a sweet looking race bike, then they slapped on the other stuffs to make it road legal, and it did not turn out that nice, but they have to do it anyway.

 

If you return the bike to it's true form, it'll look sexy once more.

[Tashi]

I hope something exciting will come up. Where's the elusive V4 sportsbike?

 

Honda President and CEO, Takeo Fukui has spoken. And according to the big man at Honda, you can expect great things from the company over the next three years. According to Fukui san, ‘Honda will create motorcycles which reflect the unique characteristics of Honda and exceed the expectations of customers.’

 

Among other things, Honda will have their PGM-FI tech on all their bikes by the end of 2010. The company will also look at fitting motorcycle airbag systems and anti-lock brakes (ABS) on more bikes. In fact, all 250cc and above Honda bikes (except off-road models) will have ABS by the end of 2010.

 

For commuter bike markets like India and Thailand, Honda will launch an all-new 100cc bike that’ll be inexpensive and very fuel efficient. The bike will be soon be launched in Thailand, and then in other Asian countries.

 

In American and European markets, Honda will introduce new technologies like the Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system, which improves fuel efficiency, and electronically-controlled combined ABS (C-ABS), which enhances safety in tricky road/weather conditions.

 

At their new manufacturing facility in Ogawa, in Japan, Honda will make their next-generation, high-performance, environmentally-responsible engines which require highly advanced manufacturing technologies. In the face of soaring fuel prices, the company will also push its hybrid strategy further and look at achieving full-scale market penetration for it hybrids as early as possible. There is, however, no word on whether this would only be for cars and SUVs, or also include some of Honda’s bigger motorcycles.

But will ABS features be a good use on the tracks?

How Tash, now that they're implementing the petrol-50km-away-from-the-border-rule, any good place to recommend for eating? =)

I think Kulai falls in the 50km radius?

It's 40km from GP so should be ok. Probably we wait till it implements and see how we can tackle this

[Tashi]

Shark, I don't think Honda will be putting ABS on sportsbikes. If they do, I hope they put an off switch.

 

Quite interested in the new V Max actually. It's going to be launched next month, pretty close to the launch of iPhone 2.0. Who would thought June would be such an exciting month. Then 3 months later, hope to see the new R1 & K9.

 

There's Malay girl at my favourite satay stall. She's still single I think. Last time she liked Din I think. If you marry her, your fuel issues will be solved.

 

 

Malaysia to ban border fuel sales to foreigners

Malaysia to ban border fuel sales to foreigners

 

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will ban petrol stations on its borders with Thailand and Singapore from selling fuel to foreigners, in an attempt to contain the spiralling cost of subsidies, reports said Tuesday.

 

Domestic Trade Shahrir Samad said the ban on sales to foreign vehicles would be enforced from Friday and remain in place until the government unveils a new mechanism for selling subsidised fuel to the public.

 

"This move is a stern act by the government to reduce the leak in subsidies that involves high costs and which should actually be enjoyed by the lower-income group in the country," he told the official Bernama news agency.

 

The ban affects up to 300 petrol stations, and extends up to 50 kilometres (31 miles) from the border in the northern states of Perlis, Kedah, Perak and Kelantan; and Johor in the south which faces Singapore.

 

The move comes as the government conducts a controversial review of its fuel subsidies, expected to cost 43 billion ringgit (13.6 billion US dollars) this year if oil prices hover around 120 US dollars per barrel.

 

Malaysia heavily subsidises petrol, diesel and gas as well as 21 food items but rising global prices and controls have triggered severe shortages, as well as smuggling across its porous borders and long coastline.

 

Singaporeans often make day trips across the causeway linking the island state to Malaysia to fill their petrol tanks and buy groceries, which are cheaper here.

 

Despite the urgent need to lower the subsidy bill, the government is braced for a public backlash over any further increase in a country where public transport is weak and many people are dependent on their cars.

 

The ruling coalition suffered its worst ever result in March 8 elections, losing five states and a third of parliamentary seats in a setback partly credited to anger over high prices of food and fuel.

This Thu evening, probably a lot of SG-poreans will go to MY to fill petrol, just like how they bought all the rice & eggs when there were shortages.

Haha, if you had told us earlier, we could've helped. It's too late now. I think she expanded her business, moved elsewhere, the current shop is run by other cooks. Now the maggi goreng not up to standards anymore. The only reason to go there is for satay only.

 

Fortunately, with some ingenuity, I had managed to replicate the same wet black sauce maggi goreng at home one evening when Ann had cravings for the maggi goreng, and the border was jammed.

Remember one time we were looking for A&W at Tmn U, we passed by some interesting mamak stalls. Wanted to try actually.

[Saufi]

The malaysia fuel ban iz a real killer to our pocketz man,...

Fuel price in s'pore iz rizing like crazy,...

In other news, heard BS will be bringing Honda branded mineral oil 10W30, synthetic oil to follow soon after.

This weekend's MotoGP race will be interesting. Japanese rider Tadayuki Okada, who won four 500cc GPs between 1996 and 2000, will return to MotoGP after an eight year absence from the sport. The 41-year-old Okada will race at the Italian GP at Mugello this weekend, riding the first iteration of the pneumatic-valve Honda RC212V.

 

It'll be super to see Mick Doohan test the new bike in my opinion. I'd like to see him race against the younger riders.

 

Any nice place to watch MotoGP besides Blooie's? Otherwise I'll be at Malcolm's or Max's place watching the race with pizza & beer. Anyone interested to crash in let me know, just SMS me.
