Singapore rides

[shunoski]

Yup, I guess I might. Hayate pick up is very good, it's not anything flawed with Hayate that makes me offload it.

 

It's just a practical decision as I need a heavier bike and one with bigger tank for better range. Sometimes ride home, tired, straight go home, then morning see fuel needle low,

 

Might be doing some customisations to it, will post pictures or bring it out to trips to show you guys. lol!

I understand that u travel east to west for work......i feel that FC wise, YBR will do good for u in the long run. I feel that a 46L rearbox and mebbe a good crashbar is a must. For more storage, fix E21 as sidebox. I used those practical solutions whne i rode my TA200......dun forget ah bro shunoski, louder horns!

[shunoski]

You had named all I wanted to do to the YBR! I'm maybe going to make it white as well! haha!

 

Yep, loud horns are essential for me. My car and previous tiny Hayate all have Hella Twin Tones. It always amuse people when my scooter cub can horn so loud!

 

So you have a TA200 on top of your Vara?

[scubasimon]

woo hoo.. getting my bike on Saturday, but maybe another week before I actually use it... How, Mr Scuba? Going to Kelvin to let him assess physically? I probably going on Saturday, if I can meet their closing time.

 

sure...call me along when you do...text me?

[scubasimon]

Nowadays with cars being sound-proofed and stereos blasting out their ways, even air horns fitted on bikes also not much of a help.

I got situations where car turn out from minor road to major road directly in my car and i gave a very loud horn and the driver's head was looking in the opposite direction, oblivious to my loud air horn.

[shunoski]

Well, act blur one. Even if you're beside them, they'll pretend to look other way, cuz they know they've caused trouble. Bikes are selectively invisible to drivers, how many riders had banged into cars and killed the driver?

[benjamin_88]

Bro subasimon, nice photographs.. Would very much interested to tag along in ur next outings..

[shunoski]

tell me abt it, sch sux! argh!

 

ok lar, something to be learnt every now and then, but really incredible how we pay so much to suffer so much - that job/ career better be really juicy man!

 

no problem, Alan. i remember school work can take up a whole lot of time and energy. just remember to take breaks...and the best breaks...are riding breaks!!

 

ya, just that they tend to be impromptu for me rather than planned - hard to commit to the group rides. but when study until 3am den tak boleh tahan will impulsively go for a riding break!

 

hope ur baby gets better and no more "half petrol tank" + fresh paint job.

what happened to your YBR?

[shunoski]

Remember the tank? Scubasimon's in for traumatic surgery, I'm in for cosmestic surgery. I recommended the place to Scubasimon, and it's also where he installed the box which saved his hellava-cost-a-fortune camera and gears. Everyone's in camp also ask why I haven't been riding in. lol

oh yeah, u are changing the tank huh? giving the bike a fresh coat of paint too?

so you've been driving to camp while your bike is in the hospital?

[scubasimon]

just went down to hcl today to check on the bike. they have now washed my bike and have started to strip out the parts for painting i like the way the fella was explaining what he will do to the bike. let's see how the end result will look (and feel) like and i'll blog about it. so far so good!!!

 

didn't see your bike, shunoski...but then again...i didn't recognise mine either!

[bikeyroo]

Hi Simon, while your bike is in the shop, I think it is a good idea to ask the mechanic to check your alternator and rectifier. You seems to have a no. of flat batteries. Get them to charge your new battery also. It is also a good idea to get a battery charger and charge your battery at home if it is convenient. If you seldom use your bike, travel little or too slow, your battery will not be charged sufficiently.

[scubasimon]

sounds like a good idea, bikeyroo...my flat battery problem is with the other bike though which i did not bring to the shop yet. i will certainly ask them to check that out when i bring that one in

 

haven't seen you around for awhile...
