I think I'm gonna use some diesel to clean my chain before lubricating it again. =X

 

Heading down to planet now. Weird sound on my bike. Spend money again. Haizz

 

don need one la... phantom sure got weird sound... don waste $$$

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

That wierd sound was his chain striking against a worn out rubber bushing/drivechain tensioner. That kind of sound cannot go Yishun dam - whole dam will hear!

 

Btw my phantom runs silently

Will be going Saturday Night if you interested bro

[sparkz83]

Can, but spend $200? 400? 600? Enough to buy chicken rice for a year?

 

Alternative is to DIY. I have DIY painted a Yamaha 125Z and the paintjob lasted for many many years. Cost $50 (inclusive of kopi, makan, etc for 2 days for 2 pax) and lots of fun.

 

nice diy .... but diy needs lots of time and effort to do it man......

That's why I'm called a pandora's kitten. One sunny day enough

 

@Thomaswongkk

Seen before. Can try motor vehicle silicone to fill up the gap but the curing of it takes a whole day.

Can, play more neo tiew can already. Ask KJ show you

[CJP]

How about the dent. It has to be knocked back some how still. I don have the tools.

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Send to bike shop for knocking first lor

 

Can do forum search for places to go. Or buy me chicken rice I become your secretary and find a place

[CJP]

The thing is, normally shops do knocking and paint together. Seldom do just knocking alone.

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Update for sunday morning:

 

As TPY time attack crew has rode together very well over the past month I'd like ProfCJP to take command of group 1 (cruisers). Group 2 led by nabil and is the 'fast' convoy (sportsbikes & CB400) which may either run its own route or fly fighter escort for the cruisers.

 

This will more or less guarantee we'll all have fun in our own way. Note for future missions - don't have two organisers in one bunch.

 

Thus without further idle conversation we'll have two separate events from now on - TPY sunrise ride, and nabil's separate event.

 

I have enjoyed very much the company and riding style from the guys I've met from the TPY area gatherings so I am laying down this very simple guideline to preserve riding safety for the guys who have stuck together for regular convoy runs.

 

Do NOT start giving ideas on how to organise the convoy in other threads other than this one. Meet up first and we'll do the rest in person.

Taken out the Pit-Stop Area! (:

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

The plan is getting very confusing and I suggest waiting for me to get off work and I'll nail down the flight plan once and for all.

 

The original idea is to run nabil's sunrise interception eastbound. Obviously, NTU is not a good destination for that unless you warrant moving at 140kph. Who is going to foot my overhaul bill after that?

 

See what I said above.

 

I don't know about other convoy groups but we can all note we don't communicate with each other very frequently at all. We don't have to - we're here to ride and that's it. And I have a mission to let our usual riders learn to lead convoys as well.

 

If 2 weeks ago the mission calls for a sunrise interception, we'd expect an easterly flight plan and that's it.

Okay I have taken out the Pit-Stop Area, you can feel free to draw out the route for Sunday's Ride bro (:

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Just stick to the free and easy format like you led me a few Sundays ago. The one where we met up at Newton at 6.35am. That's the route we're going to use because it's quite easy for anyone to navigate on and get brilliant sights so long as the weather remains clear.

 

Since we're both familiar with the route we can get the TPY crew to continue developing their own version of convoy procedures. The other time ProfCJP and KJ led a small convoy to Mustafa and did very well even if none of the usual convoy practises were used.... they developed their own.

[CJP]

Convoy is all about waiting for the guy behind and ensure the guy behind and in front of u is safe and present at all times. During my SAF days, we move in large convoys of lorries AKA unimogs. Its important not to break convoy. But its not wise for me to lead convoy cos i don't think i know the route.

 

nabil, i think the time you stated, 0620 should be changed to earlier, because when you put 0620, people arrive at 0640. If earlier, those arrived can still chit chat at the petrol station. Anyway I'm sure certain plans and decisions will have to be made on the spot at the last min, we don't wanna miss the sunrise. LOL

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

I should go downstairs and buy a pink wig. Those late get to wear it and ride at the back of the convoy hahahahaha Then you know how I feel when riding LOL

 

Route wise no problem, we'll be using the same Air Force bomber escort routine.

 

Slow Phantoms play bombers, fast bikes like Nabil's are 'navigators' at the front.

 

On the way back @ProfCJP can actually take point because I'll give you a challenge to get us where we need to be in time, although the breakfast point should not be fixed yet.

 

Cos remember, the less we think about, the more time we spend riding. Before long you'll notice that from 7am to 10pm it's more than enough to do Sunrise Intercept + Industrial Highways.. provided I can find an entry point to that road from the reverse direction.

 

Oh and bring cameras. If the weather is good and we have the whole seaside parking spot to ourselves, the posing possibilties are unlimited. Just don't fall into the sea or something.

Event Summary:

Sunrise Interception by Nabil15

 

Please refer to Nabil's excellent guidelines for event details. We'll be enjoying Nabil's expertise in navigation and knowledge of fun places

 

I'll focus on getting us the riders to those fun places in one piece.

Start Point : TPY Lor 5 Esso Station 6.20am

Please try to be punctual, we do not want to miss the sunrise!

 

I'll give what passes for a safety briefing before launching the convoy.

 

Stage 1: Escape from Toa Payoh

Cat will lead the way

 

I'll show you how to get out of car-jammed TPY by use of a 'secret road' avoiding the usual routes of Braddell Flyover (CTE) and the Descending Spiral of Doom (PIE Westbound).

 

Nabil will take command of the convoy for Stage 2:

 

Stage 2 : Sunrise Interception

 

Nabil leads the crew up the Sheares Bridge and on to cruise down an empty ECP towards Bayshore and the scenic point at Changi Beach.

 

From this point on, Nabil (Lead Navigator) and Vyruz (VIP) are at the head of the convoy. KJ and ProfCJP make a great team as the convoy body and Thomas and Cat bring up the rear defending the squadron from crazy taxis and the like.

 

Photo shoot at Changi Beach.

 

Stage 3 : Industrial Highway

 

I doubt any of us can find our way into that strange unused road connecting Paya Lebar to Hougang, so I'll lead the way back west.

 

We'll be going at a slower pace than when we did that "simulated desert conditions" rally two Sundays ago so enjoy the sight of huge open fields and a totally deserted motorway.

 

The end point is the breakfast site at Hougang "PK's Place"
