Will you sell your bike when you are in NS?

[xbfish]

As of above, lets discuss!

[Cococokie]

no. camps are bloody dam far. bike can be weekend bike also. unless ur coe until like in a year or 2.

[MS]

A bike, at least a wave is a luxury for NSF. It is a very very important transport tool especially if you are a stay in personnel. And you get night's off on alternate nights. Having a bike will save a lot of time spent on transport. And very importantly, reduce your chances of being late due if you do not procrastinate.

 

Therefore... sell off my bike during NS days, OVER MY DEAD BODY!!!

Perhaps if I am financially tight during those days, downgrading is an option.

[xbfish]

Any more response? lol

[Sky99]

if ur camp is nearby at ur hse.

 

maybe can sell the bike away loh.

 

but if you are staying at west. and ur camp is at east.

 

no joke sia. everytime travel mrt will die.

[mcke]

hell no to selling bike away.

rather just leave it aside and rot or something, when in camp.

 

the jams in the morning :S:S:S:S

the squeezing of shuttle service.

and and and advantages of reaching home earlier and leaving later :D:D:D:D

[barefoot]

no way man . . . im staying around boon lay. this year enlisting. so if no bike, i will be doing this

 

home -> bus -> mrt (extreme west to east) -> bus -> ferry terminal

Would most likely downgrade to a kup and cut down on expenses.

[zyrofillica]

looking at the size of my the bags most army personnel book in and book out with, looks quite uncomfortable and dangerous slinging it around u while riding

Good thread, I am contemplating whether or not to sell off my Super4 when I enlist.

 

Bike will be way underused if I am only able to go home during weekends, and the insurance and road tax spent will not be justified by the only few days which I can ride.

 

It might even be cheaper to take taxi to camp and back home considering the maintenance cost of the Class2A bike.

 

Hmm...

[sICkbOi-dOt-cOm]

It all depends on individual...

For me... When in NS i bought my bike

Taking Public needs me to wake up at 6am...

But by bike... 7am..

And can go riding with NS mates...

If ur installment is too much for yr pay in NS...

trying reasoning out with ur shop... Im sure they will be glad to assist...

[VidaK]

lay-up your bike! then get a cheap 2b bike with 2 years of COE remaining...

[Fly_Boy]

During BMT, you may sell your bike, but after that..I think you'll find that having a bike is useful...

 

In fact, if your training camp is at a faraway place, it is advisable to have a bike, even if you only get to use it during weekends. But see what kinda bike la..don't tell me R1 la...wave or similar likes is ok...preferably 2nd hand...

[loufu]

no

 

and in actual fact, i bought it while i was still in NS..

[FinG]

a cub is already good when in NS,maybe wave,spark but not x1r those exp type:)

s4 is good if it fully paid.the rest then depend...

what maintenance cost u talking abt? installment?

if u seldom ride, there wont be any maintenance cost....(if u're talking about changing EO and plug, etc)

[xbfish]

Wow you guys have enlighten me

[lwfc]

yea. if camp nearby, can ride during weekend also ma.

 

camp far, keep your bike. it's useful. for me. i stay east, camp west side.

 

no bike = wake up 5+am. with bike wake up 6+

[Skull_Angel]

No way man !

Camp is freaking far !

I rather let it rot in cp !

Not installment, of course there will still be maintenance if bike is seldom ridden as there will be parts which degrades over time. Tyres, EO etc. Plus the compulsory annual cost like road tax and insurance which are not cheap.

[B20]

i see no reason to sell bike when in NS... unless u are talking abt the peanut $450 pay is not enuff 2 pay the installment n expenses n unwilling 2 get pocket $$ from parent...

[squarebox]

Buy bike while serving NS.

Save alot of traveling time

[silverstein]

What is your/your camp-mates vocation sia?

 

I mean 3 years back, for me riding a S4 during NS, was already like sooo good!

 

Reli salute y'all but hope you don't have to eat grass & drink water (plain) every day to support the bike..
