Absolutely.. Pulsar has the best riding style. The first time I got onto a pulsar.. I was hooked..

 

On the topic of driving license, a quick recap of how I got my license... In 1996, I had a friend who claimed to have some influencial friends in the RTO office. He told me, if i paid him 500 Rs, he will get me a license without me having to show up for any tests or whatever. And being a true indian, i immediately gave him the money. In a week or so, he gave me a license as well. I was proud and I was driving with it without a worry in the world. I got pulled over by a few cops and I would flash my license at them.. No problem... One day, I wanted to get a car license [My father thought I am good for nothing in school, so he asked me to learn to drive a car so u can drive a taxi..]. I took my license to a driving school and found out that my license was fake. I had been using a fake license made by this dude for 4 years. In the meantime I had gotten into some serious accidents and still flashed my fake license at people.. Immediately I discarded that license and got a new one, having mastered driving [by accident].

 

hmm... Happy days! In hindsight I feel.. "What an idiot, no wonder my dad thought what he thought".

 

haha, thats funny. My cousin got his driving license at the age of 15. How? They just back dated his date of birth by 3 year. anything is possible in India.

You will have to wait for the newly launched TVS apache RTR 180 with ABS, maybe it will come to SG in a year's time.

 

Or get a Ducati Monster 796 With ABS. That one also can.

 

ABS=Anti-lock Braking System

is not use for instant stopping or better braking...

it is meant for preventing your brakes from locking up when you brake too hard and hence not skidding and shorter braking distance...

when you brake hard and the ABS system detects it, it will automatically releases the brake slightly and brake again...

preventing your wheel from locking up....

 

Yes, well that's what I mean, because on the Pulsar, I've locked the bike a couple of times at not too high speed, and it's enough to completely discourage me to tap the rear brake too hard. Whereas with a bike with ABS, I'd go trigger happy ..

 

O'ren,

my cam is mounted on my handlebar and the vibration is minimal...

does the gopro cam have image stabaliser?

try adding form paddings at the bottom of the cam when mounted on the handlebar...

anyway gopro has the handle br mouting kit with the universal 1/4" screw for their cams...

 

I don't know frankly if it has a stabilizer - not that I recall but i will check..

All their mounts are sold separately so i didn't buy everything at once. Just placed the order for the handle bar mount and a couple of other mounting goodies..will see what they're worth when thy get here (probably in the next 10 days).

there's good n bad for ABS. my friend's car got ABS n he complained because of it, he hit other ppl's car. ABS does not detect road condition, thus at times the driver is certain hard braking will not lock the wheel, with ABS, it releases the brake, causing longer brake distance, thus collision.

 

if u're able to control ur wheel locking situation, actually can be used to ur advantage. eg u can ski on the road to make a even shorter braking distance. i rem someone told me he did a 180deg e-brake, he manage to stop in time, but when he stopped, he's facing the other direction.

for ABS depends on how the bike is built for

for what i understand,ABS is not activated permenantly

only when drastic wheel speed drop is detected and there is a chance of wheel locking

and after it is activated it has to be resetted, well at least for some cars

 

for the mount actually i got a lobang in singapore that sells it at reasonable price

ABS will increase braking distance on gravel and sandy road but it will still provide better control than without ABS

APRIL BTMO : Sat/Sun 9 or 10 April @ A&W Johor Bahru

 

I thought we could organize a trip to Malaysia this WE to get some A&W goodness in JB !

 

http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ6DPXsGvOMEoC16-SmcIo6PDk0yjig1MB3aH1AIwipoUEtJ_r7

 

I'm ok to organize and come up with all the details and communication, but I need a show of hands to get attendance numbers.

 

We would leave in the morning, then cross the customs, ride a bit and stop at the A&W to have lunch. After that, we can take some scenic routes not too far and make our way back beginning of the afternoon. Or we can just go, pump, eat and come back if you prefer. More details on the program once I know who will be joining.

 

There are two A&W in JB: one on the east side, @ Permas Jaya shopping center, and one at the west side, @ Bukit Indah.

 

Put your name below on the day you want to go (majority will win):

Saturday 9 April :

1. O'Ren

3.

4.

5.

6.

 

Sunday 10 April :

We would be leaving around 10am, if we're there early, we'll ride on scenic roads first and then have lunch later.

Wow! That would feel awesome in a car. In a bike, I just can't imagine.

ABS will increase braking distance on gravel and sandy road but it will still provide better control than without ABS

 

There are studies out there which show that chances of having an accident is actually higher with ABS vehicles. Reason? The drivers are overconfident that ABS lets them brake safely. As a result they are more prone to speeding or doing risky maneuvers.

 

So if you get an ABS bike... pretend you're riding a non-ABS bike to avoid getting complacent.

Better still, ride slow enough that u can do the 'flintstones' so that you won't collide. Heh heh

Bro, You have a Bajaj Pulsar 1800. Why you need another bike?

 

Sometime I wana feel like a big daddy riding cruiser bike...chilling , cruising wif the wind. N oso I work in tuas. Travel frm east to west everyday. Thing can happen. So a second fuel saving bike does help.

but had to rush off so did not chat more

haha

[mjbs64]

Yessss ... I too like the Bajaj Pulsar bike cartoon logo!

 

YEss no doubt it is no garang or fierce but the image of the logo is presentable showing what a Pulsar Rider is all about ... safety gear while riding!

 

Since we are engaging professionals to redesign our logo and T shirt then by all means redisgn the cartoon fiurew but with the pulsar bike exist .. cos we are Pulsarians!!!

 

THe image of the bike itself and the Rider shows what we are .....

 

MAscot is up to all of you lah looking at our stock face cowling .. it resembles a wolf and with alvin imagination our stock rear looks like a Fangs so like a Viper ..... Black panther came in as most pulsar bike on the road seems more on Black karrrreeeerrrrr one. And last not list loking at pulsar real inner strength .. a dragon exist in arthurs eye ..... and talking about the eyes mine from wolf has transform to dragon's eye ... hehehehhehhehe ...

 

At the end of the day .... what ever the logo and the T shirt will be ...... for me ..... JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

and don't waste any time lah!!!!!! ....

 

Price for a T shirt $28 or $30 a pair .. what harm can the cost damage your wallet? .... save now $1 day ... in 1 month you can have $30 ready and just nice which I believe .. the Tshirt and logo will take that some time too.!!!! .....

 

If other bikers group can do it ... why we here SBT group can't do it!! ...... where is our spirit since we does exist here!!!!!

[Fredd]

Hey MJ - I'm interested, and I have a few questions:

- hoe higher does it raise the handlebar (cm) (I'm worried about some of my DIY wires going to the handlebar, maybe they'll now be shorter)

- Foes it need any special work on the bike, or just plug and play (sort of, I mean by that the mech won't have to do anything, no drilling etc)

- How does it affect the riding style, if they can give you feedback. I suppose the riding posture will be a bit more straight up, and the handle bar should have more freedom around the tank

- Is there another piece that can be plugged on top ? Either a horizontal bar or something else. I want it to attach accessories (iphone/gps, gopro). I saw the LAB ones, but it doesn;t look very sturdy , and it's a bit thin so maybe you can see what they have in stock in Indo ?

 

Thanks !

Well said

And yes, it will take some time to get the t-shirt ready so start saving up

I'll leave the survey up today and close the survey this evening, and will share the results with everyone here.
