the ducati bikes really caught my eye, i cant help but keep taking a second look. a huge calling. i wonder if anyone knows if the showroom is open today? i cant decide which model... im extremely keen and excited!

[LuncheonMeat]

ha ha.. showroom should be closed today.. u can go down 2morrow & look for Mary... what type of bike r u looking @..? Superbike..? or Monster...? & wat bike ya riding now...?

 

LM

[LuncheonMeat]

ha ha.. I tink 1198r still not out yet @ the moment.. but she can get a 1098r though.. lol

[Audrey]

i msg a 1098 seller. the power is too hardcore for me. too scary to even think about it. im riding a KTM200, a totally different league altogether. im so excited i just wanna go see those good-lookers today.

 

all i know is that if i want a cl2 bike, its going to be the best and of cos, give me an orgasmic feeling haha! i shd forget about the 1098 cos men will then hate me.

[LuncheonMeat]

yah.. 1098r should hv.. been some time nv dropped by there.. lol so not very sure about wat bike ish there now...

 

ha ha.. y men will hate u.. I wun hate u ah... it will be so cool if more ladies riding a 1098 in SG.. tink currently got 2 ladies riding a 1098 now...

maybe u can consider 848 also..?

 

LM

[Audrey]

yes, seriously considering a 848. i hate this part of searching for sellers cos i can hardly find any 848. i wont get brand new cos it will be prob be underutilised. maybe i will just go for an r1. if theres anyone selling an 848. do give me a holla!

[LuncheonMeat]

hmmm.. tink past few weeks got a guy selling his 848 in the Bikes Mart.. u can go there to look @ it.. ha ha y so fast changed heart liao... muz stay wif Ducati mah.. hee hee~

 

new 848 priced @ around 32k... tink R1 09 also priced @ ard 30k?

mitigate: ya riding a ducati also...?

 

LM

[Audrey]

yeah exactly, incomparable.

 

someone is selling it @ 24k where he bought it in may08. still awaiting his reply. but i dont want it in white.

 

i want it rad and loud! haha. nah... ill wait for his reply but i suspect it is prob sold.

[LuncheonMeat]

ha ha.. red & loud.. really ish beri noisy.. buy over liao send the fairings for respray to red can liao.. lol..

 

actually 1098 also quite good la.. lol.. watz the price the guy selling u @..?

 

LM

[Audrey]

37k hardcore! i wont get brand new...

[LuncheonMeat]

hmmm.. I tink u r talking bout the 1098 tricolour is it..? tink there is 1 more 1098 base model selling @ ard 29k..?

 

ha ha... dun hv to buy new 1 la.. if got used 1, juz grab it.. lol.. ya still riding yr KTM? actually y dun consider Monster...? looks cool also.. or the StreetFighter...

 

LM

[Audrey]

mitigate, if u say so. i just dont see a point in getting it brand new. depriciation not worth it, unless im going to use it for 5years or more which im not. plus i drive, have a ktm, am hardly in singapore.

 

a ducati is already expensive enough, but im willing to pay for what is worth. the monster is not my cup of tea. im generally quite fickle minded but thanks for all the suggestions LM, appreciate it.

[Audrey]

its not the tricolour cos its rad. sorry im not very knowledgeable in ducatis.

[LuncheonMeat]

ahhh.. itz red...? then maybe itz S model he selling...tink too long nv browse thru the garage sale liao.. lol

 

ha ha no worries.. if ya not in SG, I'll always welcome yr bike to stay together wif mine & take good care of it.. lol

 

LM

[LuncheonMeat]

ha ha.. tink she prefer to keep herself.. rather than let us take care of it.. lol

 

LM

[Audrey]

haha, thanks! but its happy at its own home. ill keep u in mind.

 

well, ill keep u posted if i ever get a ducati and ill prob seek advice elsewhere.

 

chat up sometime.

[Sols]

sigh... my bike died and refuses to restart...

 

good thing is just when i'm turning into the condo... lol...

 

sounded like the fuel wasn't going into the chamber, but the tank is still relatively full...

 

bike doesn't crank now too... think the batt is drained... so sad...

 

pushed started once... turned it off cause i couldn't get it into neutral and bike refuses to start again... sigh...

[LuncheonMeat]

Sols: 2morrow send it to workshop for a check... should solved the problem...

 

Audrey: even if nv get a ducati, also can stay & chat 1 ah.. always welcome ppl ard.. hee hee

 

mitigate: ha ha, ppl got their own plans liao la.. now also cannot tink of it already.. lol

 

LM

[LuncheonMeat]

..... wa lau.. giving info to others.. also tio shoot.. lol

 

LM

[Sols]

lol...

 

i'm thinking if i should jump the bike from my car and ride it to HKL (nearest open on sunday shop) to get a new batt... lol...

 

any comments? read quite a few articles about jump starting from a car... lol... seems safe as long as the car is not running...

[Sols]

oh yah... think i'll put the stock pipes back on for now...

 

according to the previous owner, the termis chip blew... the bike is very sluggish... and my mech told me its because the bike is running too lean cause of the stock chip...

 

going for overseas deployment soon... will look at getting a PCIII after... lol...

[LuncheonMeat]

ha ha.. soundz good huh.. I'm not sure on this but u can try though.. lol..

 

LM

[Sols]

sigh...

 

jump started to no avail...

 

while trying to jump start the bike, i heard some shorting/bubbling/crackling sound coming from the batt area... thought the batt was gassing, but after further investigation, it was coming from a yellow coloured square component next to the batt...

 

i looked through the bike manual and based on its shape, its either...

1. Solenoid Valve Relay (Second closest to the batt)

2. Starter Contactor (Most likely as the schematic shows that its the closest to the batt)

3. Safety Relay

4. Low Beam Relay (Lights were working, so doubt its this)

 

Sending it to Kallang tomorrow... Hope I can get it out by the end of the day...
