I don't own Impulse, but don't mind coming depending on whether free. Time/Place?

[Manjan-Bhai]

I was thinking of meeting up for coffee/tea at some slack-jack place. This might cater to the majority who might want to drop by for a chat. whoever is hungry, could carry on for dinner after a drink or two.

 

ill suggest some place in bussorah street (arab street). ANy other suggestions that might suit the majority?

Bussorah Street sounds good. Preferably weekend morning: I work late shifts during the week.

[Frank y]

Place sounds good. Confirm place/time, I'll make time for it.

Francis: it was great meeting you: thank you for sharing your knowledge about bikes: and it was great seeing your Suzuki Inazuma 1200: a rare bike indeed!

[Frank y]

It's a pleasure meeting you too. I hope we can go Malaysia together, except that most of my rides are impromptu and spur-of-the-moment. And on weekdays .... also a bit faster.

[Manjan-Bhai]

1. Mmm rock oil, never use it b4 so no comments. Try it den tell us! I'll stick with Maxima for now though.

 

2. Yup those are the signs but i usually won't wait for them to show. I'll change my eo at ard 4000-4500km with new oil filter everytime.

 

rock oil heard is a very gd EO

 

how come u keep on changing oil filter?? normally is 2 time EO than change once

 

rock oil is really good to use..

 

found out from my mech, he changed for me Semi-syn Rockoil when i took over the bike. Only experienced those signs once at about 4700km, but decided to do a oil change at 5000km.

 

Changed to the Fully-syn now, $20/ltr at First Motor. i dont think ill need to experiment w other brands, becos im really satisfied w the current one.

[Manjan-Bhai]

[Manjan-Bhai]

I also have an Impulse.

[Frank y]

oh.. when you got your impulse, 2nd bike?

Previous owners: neO, then samir, then me. 3rd bike. Also have a PX150.

[Manjan-Bhai]

aha.. so you took over Samir's impulse? mm..

[samir]

If you guys do have an Impulsive outing, do call me

[Frank y]

Yup, only problem for me is that it has the streetfighter looks(quite nice) when I took over from samir, and I prefer the original classic naked bike look. So now, I'm looking into converting it back to its original look.

 

Right now it has scrambler parts - cowling lights, meters, handlebar, indicators, shocks, anodized forks, single-seat, new switches, respray, etc. Imagine how much it will cost to replace these scrambler parts with original parts, including two-seater seat and subframe. Actually, samir made it look new and nice if you like the streetfighter looks. But I'm a rider not a streetfighter and, at my age(with 1 wife and 3 kids), fighting is way past me.

 

Also, its COE expires 04/08. That means with $1k COE premium and spending $2k - $3k in conversion might cost me $3k - $4k more if I want to keep a lesser-value bike. How, keeping this bike or milk powder more important?

 

Anyone about to scrap an Impulse wanna donate your bike to me so that I can gently, tenderly and reverently remove and transfer its parts to mine and thereby preserve the memory of your baby? - at least on my bike. Such a waste seeing nice bikes and cars being scrapped and cut-up, a bit like BumbleBee being scrapped and smashed to bits - BumbleBits.

 

What to do? Moreover, samir kept it in very good condition. He spent a lot of time and money(not including heartaches) on it to make it look brand-new. It'll be such a waste if it is scrapped. Anybody wanna buy an excellent-looking streetfighter single-seat Impulse? (samir, I'll give you a cut)

samir, seems like not many people want to meet. Only you and I turned-up the last time ..... right? Manjan?

[samir]

I am always ready for an Impulse meet-up. Hope other riders can make it too.
