Transport bike dont so fierce la. Get a class 2, and give it 2 days i think u forget wat is phobia liao. Must conquer ur phobia, challenge urself. Of course also do it wisely.

 

How i wish i can afford to play too. With my financial status, any problem to my bike means BMW liao.

no money... no luck in toto.

 

anyway litre bikes are too easy to get into silly speeds that i will not be able to handle, i'll try to avoid this class at the moment...

400-600cc should be good enough.

i crashed 2 more times after i changed to a transport bike.

you should look at the condition of my current tyres, 1 inch wanking strips!!! got totally no confidence to ride liao...

 

in the past whenever its time to go somewhere, i would rub my palms in anticipation, lick my lips with glee and maybe put a bowl below my mouth to collect my drooling saliva(u get what i mean). Feel so happy going to work(the journey there of cos).

 

now its like: sigh, totally sian got to go work. feel like taking taxi ride halfway my mind would auto conjure up images of me crashing...weekends used to be aways be Me & my Bike at some eatery along nshw, now weekends would always be Me & my Taxi driver to the movies.

u loved bikes man. never let that love die! mabbe watching torque can put it back in you again!

most serious? bike or me? im quite lucky actually although i crashed many times my injuries were minimal. Not so for my bike though

 

most injury to the the bike was near the left handed turn 3 @ pg. heavy Braked from 180 and front wheel locked. Rear lifted & we flipped. Almost totalled the bike,but i only sprained my thigh. After thinking thru,main cause would probably be not closing abit of throttle @ turn 2 and continued full bored and drifted off line appraoching turn 3 and ended up having to heavy brake and overcooked the front.

 

most injury to me was turn 1, gear misengaged & freewheel so i braked drifted offline and i hit gravel at an odd angle,speed probably 40km/hr, bike dumped me off like a mini-highside & bike landed on my foot. Injury to bike minimal, $350 in repairs but i fractured my toe(out for 2 months).

 

the rest are all abrasions which are only skin deep during wet weather skids on normal roads which i would have gotten away with nil injuries if wearing a riding jacket.

 

and we'r going off topic

who says small bikes cant go pg? a buyer who bought some spares from me has a timing of 1.46 on an rs125.

You need minimum full face helmet, armored jacket, thick jeans, gloves and boots. Any sport bike will do. Also there are some race-tuned RXZ and cub-kias there and they can smoke many big bikes.

 

The way there is quite easy. One day follow us go lah. For me, I usually go on Sat morning. Sun morning is very crowded and quite scary for small bikes like mine.

Good rider don't Crasshh:cheer:

so all injuries that u come too not that bad what..

why give up and have phobia over them..

bike if damage never mind..coz we as bikers love our life more then our bike..

worst come to it scrap loh. hehehe..

i not saying i'm not phobia after so little fall..

i had saw my friend pass away during riding..and coma for a week after he passed away not so peacefully..head injuries..brain dead and off he goes..(may god bless him)

after seeing all this really make me feel sad and phobia..

but that life..when it time to go u can't avoid..even if ur sitting at the bus stop waiting for bus will also be knock by bus...

so carry on do what we feel like doing now..and enjoy when we're still young..

i had never step into PG for a long time..

since the last is

6 years back....

but occasionally still do a bit off street racing around singpore with few of friends.

(i know it dangerous compare to riding in track.)

but what to do after i had my kid and bit lack of cash for uncertain thing that i had to spend...

 

:thumb:

the worst accident i had is had my rib cage fracture and my lung compress(internal breeding)..and was warded for nearly 2weeks in hospital..and my bike scrap.out off repair term

but now i'm back to my ownself and tend to be more carefully whenever i negotiate a corners.

dun dare go out at night~ not riding the bike any more liaoz~

[Throttle]

slow in fast out for cornering is really the way to go . i know it's cliche but it's really true. at PG where turns are tighter and str8s are not that long, a bike with a solid pick up will certainly beat one with a top high speed either in and out of bends or blasting the straight. also i believe smoothness is the key. notice how the top riders go ever so smoothly. doesnt look fast right ?? but the timing tells...

[StingRhea]

Out in out, slow in fast out, fast in never come out~

1:46 on a RS125?????? U talkin Honda or Aprillia?? If he's tat fast, he could well be the fastest guy on a RS125(I mean Aprillia in this case) in SG man..

aprilia rs125. why not?

On pg, with lack of long straights, small bikes are very suited for that track. i cant really comment much on this since i dunt do races nor take notice on their lap times.

but although i've only briefly met that guys for 2 times only, he doesnt seem the type who would talk big. & i believe 1.46 is considered slow to racers(have to check with tsp racing regarding this statement since he did state before qualifying time is around or lesser then that)

[slowcoach]

Aprillia RS 125????!!! Ha... As fas as i know, the fastest guy on the Aprillia RS125 was a 1:42. And I dun consider tat a 'RS125' cos I know wat mod did the bike do... Theirs can't be considered as a Aprillia RS125 anymore, coz their bike was illegally modified..

 

As for the other 'true' RS125, their laptimes are abt 1:46- 1:45... ha. Go ask around if u doubt me.. Wing yap can ans u tat.. And their 'so-called true RS125' also had tons of illegal mods done to them.. i shall not elaborate, cos they'll be fined if discovered...

 

So in conclusion, i dun doubt him clockin 1:46, unless he's a racer, with a team (with tons of illegal mods done). If u had ridden a stock or near-stock 125 around a track, u'll know how diff to clock tat kinda of blazin timing.. Literally blazin'..

 

Cheers!
