I ride very safe leh.. Always ride on the left most lane when possible, ride in centre of the lane keeping 1 to 1.5 car length behind other vehicles. Today got 1 white car come tailgate me and horn me all the way, overtook me and wind down his window and gave me some hand gestures.. piss off man..

 

I realise cars also like to lane change by squeezing into my lane and "push me to the side of the lane..

[son9han]

eh anyone here age ard 22-24, more than 3 years riding experience. can share how much ur insurance is? I called up axa and ntuc to enquire abt TPFT coverage. AXA quote me $670 and NTUC quote me $1050. How come the price so far off. But anyway looks like i will be going for AXA this year.

 

AXA now take insurance for RS125 bikes?? wow...always been told that only ntuc willing to take and is not cheap compare to others..

AXA has always done insurance for RS 125 but they dont do for P-platers and must be above 21(this one im nt quite sure). The only company who do it for P-platers is ntuc.

IMO, when on a bike, its safer to b overtaking dan being overtaken...

 

1st when ur fast, u dun have to worry abt whether ur hogging up e rd cuz ur overtaking everyone

 

2nd, u can ride in e centre of e lane making urself more visible

 

3rd, it trains ur mind to think ahead keeping u focused

 

4th, our bikes are'nt meant to b ridden slow... problems like jammed valves, soaked exhaust packings n excess carbon build up in e expansion chamber will start arising

 

5th, riding in e power band means better throttle response, no sputtering, no bogging n smooth power delivery... stuck at 5-6k rpm, keep ur needle 7k n above n u can 4get abt tt prob

 

so there u have it... 5 gd reasons to ride fast... bear in mind when i say ride fast, i dun mean blast pass everyone wif ur valve open, unless ur tt confident in ur braking system, i suggest u keep e valve closed. tis post issin meant to b directed at anyone specific. its only meant to share my view.

 

waddaya think guys? riding fast vs riding slow?

[vteclee]

I'm looking for Woodruff key n v-force 3 .... Anybody wanna let go pm me.

[lacrimosae]

waddaya think guys? riding fast vs riding slow?

 

Faster and faster until you hit redline is the safest way to ride.

 

I ride in the redline every day, rain or shine. No accidents. The ONE time I ride slowly, I hit a Merc and broke my leg.

yah, i wanna ask. you all usually after how many mths then send the bike for servicing? and whats the ideal tyre pressure?? only ah seng do aprilia best arh??

hi bro... what kind of servicing are talking about? carb? valve? EO change?

 

tyre pressure will be ideal running 180/200 without pillion 180/230 with.

 

for mechanics. there are a few like ah seng and meng tong and teck thye david.... its preference and how confident are you with them... my mechs are from old school in Sungei kadut but trust me they do help of a job....

erm im basically a new rider who knows almost 0% about maintaining bikes. esp my first bike is alrdy an aprilia! how many kinds of servicing are there?? i only know of 1 which is full service where they check all the impt parts like piston, piston rings and connecting rod. and they also wash my carb and valve rite? about EO change i also know nth too and greatly appreciate any help given! my computer is too laggy to even view the aprilia pdf manual...

actually to this i largely agree. When i ride fast and am squeezing past vehicles on the expressway, my concentration is at the max, and im focused only on the road and vehicles in front of me. However theres a distinct line between being fast and being reckless. Theres openings that gives u 100% chance to get through, 70% to get through or 50-50 chance to get through. Personally i almost never go for 50-50 chances and i avoid squeezing between buses and lorries.

 

The most important statement i learnt about riding was told to me by a friend of mine. He said that in any situation, if u feel confident then go for it, but if you are having doubts on whether u can make it, then dont, coz ur doubt will impair ur riding ability. Ive lived with this rule ever since and have so far been safe and accident free.

Hey matey! Welcome to the forum! You'll learn a LOT of great info here and also some pretty sh!t ones as well. On the whole the guys here are very helpful and I am grateful for the guidance I got. I recommend using the search function as much as you can - there is a whole load of useful information in old posts. And don't forget to read through the manual!

 

waddaya think guys? riding fast vs riding slow?

 

I agree with mesa's viewpoint: as fast as you're comfortable with so you're alert but not entering into the zone where you have doubts. I think this usually means riding at 70-80% of your abilities. If you're at 100% and one variable changes, there wouldn't be any spare focus to react to it.

 

Faster and faster until you hit redline is the safest way to ride.

Law, your video is similar to my video below. I know I look like a girl there but it was a difficult emo stage of life where I dressed in leather and slicked my hair back often.

 

[priller07]

Vyruz, u look.. pretty.. fierce. Haha!

 

Maybe before u go can teach me how to go against traffic and still look as calm.

[Sub Zero]

 

hahaha.. too old to give comment as I'm still doesn't know how to reply the post!! hehehe

 

Wasnt talking about you bro. You make the rest proud by going track and taking part in the BRS. Dont forget I came to support you.

 

Hi all riders..

Guess I'm too tide down with my project and stuff so need to relax and spare my time with my machine.Just thinking of making a meet up and meet all the guys here fellow aprilianz to cruise ard Singapore and chat.. Like to know suitable date maybe you guys can think of and how many guys interested?

 

Just an idea if no respond then i can plan on other project.. Thx

 

A meetup will be arranged after Mid September. It's in the works. After fastin month, visitings etc. Stay tuned. Of course, those who are disliked by me would know not to show up. Because it'll be a good time to educate the new riders on all the conmen and scum that hang around the aprilia thread.

 

The only matt black rs i can think of rite now is our one n only aneh! Damn u aneh!

 

oh well i thought so too.. yck road most probably is him.

 

Wasnt me guys. Unless the chap can verify what color rims on the bike.

 

hello all. recently bought my rs125 over from vyruz! got much to learn from you guys.

 

Good buy. Knowledge is power, do some reading up on your own. And read the old posts, you'll know who talks the BS, who's been here for long and who's the one who loves to carry balls.

 

Enjoy your ride.

Don't think I'll get another go at PG matey. I'm off to LTA later this afternoon to collect my $ and transfer the bike to its new owner.

 

on the outside, on the inside.

 

New owner is going to love the bike. I took it for one last spin yesterday and was impressed with the acceleration in the powerband (it's fully derestricted now). Bear in mind I'm 87kg. New owner is something like 45kg.

 

Earliest I'll be leaving is end of this year, but realistically looking more like late January 2012 (which is only about five months away).

 

 

 

Rent a track bike la.... u can if u want to, while u still here....and EYBIS will be here 7th Oct in PG.

[personified]

congrats on your sales bro.... i have a few mateys looking for RS anyways after seeing my bike done up..... waiting for the day i will fix it up to my taste....
