It's good to hear one of the founding AOC members like servo weigh in on the issues. Servo, bro, great suggestion: You want to settle, we settle on the track. We see you at PG.

 

Someone please translate that Malay phrase for me. Hanif?

I dont think I would stop and ask them to settle it on the track.

 

After hearing about them kicking people's bike while riding, personal safety is more impt.

 

Their Mum prob made them by the dozen, life is cheap to them.

 

If they try anything funny, I'll come back the next evening with the co. car and show them sparks can also be created other than grinding your main stand on the road.

:nono:

Muser, I managed to find out that the HUD I was referring to is actually a Euro brand, made in Germany.

I'm looking forward to the details. US$1500 is 3 times the price of the Veypor system - I wonder if it's 3 times better. The Veypor already has every feature I could ask for, and can also be easily migrated to other bikes. However, if this Eurpean one is mounted on the inside of the helmet, like you suggested in previous posts, then it might be more durable since it would be protected by the helmet, unlike the Veypor unit, which sits outside the hemlet, just above the visor.

This one is entirely inside the helmet, so no TP stopping and asking,"What's THAT?"

 

Almost had an accident a couple of days ago on the CTE after glancing down at the speedo, looked up and the car infront slammed on his brakes, I braked but it was too late, had to swerve out of the lane into the next one w/o checking, my mirrors missing the stationary car by 1/2 a metre or so...........it was so close......

 

If I had the HUD.........

Of course, the other - perhaps wiser - option is to apologise profusely for existing, proclaim great fear of them, and beg to be allowed on your way, heheh. I wonder what I'd end up doing - I have a brain, but I've also been known to have a hell of a temper, and my tolerance for nonsense has been dimishing with the years.   Originally posted by CMYRS+--> QUOTE (CMYRS) This one is entirely inside the helmet, so no TP stopping and asking,"What's THAT?"[/b] I'm glad you escaped unscathed! You make a good point, TP loves to pick on unusual stuff. I recently had a TP ask me if my RS pipe was modified, and when I said no, he said, "Aprilia stock pipe where got like that one." Then I politely pointed out that there was the word Aprilia etched into the surface of the pipe. Doesn't he know that not everyone drinks milo, though there's nothing wrong with that energy drink?   Originally posted by eyz i think it means, talk no use, place not affected Ooorrr, as in "Talk doesn't resolve our situation or prove anything." I wonder though if that would provoke a guy to say "Okay lah, I prove to you with my fist!"   Originally posted by eyz hey ya got the hud thingy on ya helmet already uh?? how come ya never show it to ask?? You never see on his helmet yesterday meh, when you met Lawrence and I at his void deck?

And the nextime TP stops me and says,"Sir, you were doing 140km/h in a 50km/h zone." I'll tell him," Oh! But its not safe to look at the speedo while riding!"

"cakap tak guna, tembak tak kena"

translate in lay man terms is talk is cheap...

but talking to this guys is useless...

unless u are talking straight to their head..

they rather let their fists do the talking...

rather than talking with their mouths..

well these guys are trouble makers..

in the good old days, these gangs, to settle their diiferences,

they will hold a jackpot race...

but the m'sian authorities have been hard with them...

so guys..

just be careful...

if u ever kena challenge with them,

just take note of the designs on their helmet..

and if possible, tell the authorities..

You seem to know a fair bit about this. Can share how else to recognise them besides the designs on their helmet? Is this why their gangs are called "designs"? Is it standard practice among designs to display their designs on their helmets?

 

Now if only I could mount a digital camera on my helmet...

well...

i got a few frens here and there lah.

.

u describe the designs for me lah..

yes..

its a standard practise for them to display their designs on their helmets...

as it would show which designs and to mark their territory..

these are easily seen at the back of their helmets...

usually.. if a certain area is their territory, they would hang out at the most popular coffeeshop of that area displaying their helmets on the tables..

some of these designs are peaceful fellas...

these designs existed since our fathers time... in the early 1980s..

as u know, in those days, s'pore have a race track and those designs are meant to show their prowess in the sg circuit so other bikers will respect..

but nowadays.. they misconceptualise these designs and use it for other purposes for example marking their territories just to prove that their designs are bigger and better..

i dun want to name the designs and which territory are they holding as it might get me in trouble.. just describe me the designs, and i tell u wat design that is thru pm...

 

but guys..

its better just to stay out of harms way..

just ride as per normal.. dun care bout them..

if ever u were disturb.... just slow.. and let them pass u first..

never ever stop by the shoulder..

if at the traffic light, and they blow u...

just ignore them and look straight..

as for... if they were to blow me...(but if i'm riding my 250)

i would just look at them and look at their bike and look away..

okay those at BKE's are wearing red helmet with someform of falcon behind, to be honest there is no need to be afraid of them. i'm actaully more concerned/afraid of TP. ... you know la, Govt agencies F*****g efficient,if they want to hunt you down, only place you can run is overseas.

[/b] Thanks for the background info. So many of these designs have respectable and worthy histories; very, very interesting. And a real shame that some of them have degenerated into bands of pathetic thugs. Strangely, it makes me feel that Singapore's let them down in a sense by not having a race track anymore... I can't really explain it, but I'm a bit upset, and not at them. Singapore's lost a lot over the years in the gahment's relentless drive towards productivity and GDP figures.   Thanks also for the offer to help us identify what designs we're dealing with.   I like your intended reaction towards these hooligans, heheh. In other words, "You want to race me with that bike? You must be joking. Don't waste my time."

_wacko_, you're a genius! ARC/Arc/arc (just experimenting with capitalisation) is a lot cooler than AOC, cuz we can pronounce it! I second ARC! A designer, come on, somebody! I can't design to save my life. But I'd be happy to check the colours, convert from RGB to CMYK, blah blah blah, I'm good with a computer and am in the publishing business, I just can't draw to save my life. Waitaminute... I'm remembering that Lawrence said he can do stickers - Law, what do you say? But we still need a designer. Come come, don't shy hor...
