Personal experience: I never knew there is a toolset in my phantom.

 

LOl

coz i asked my mechanic about it and he also said "pham-tom wu keh si tau meh?" (phantom has a tool kit?)

hahaha

4. Your bike has so much stickers that 'increases' the speed of your bike.

 

 

 

You ask me, I ask who?

 

The only time I ever put stickers onto my bike is because one TP commented that my bike dont look like a girl's bike.......so I go and put on lots of flower stickers on the boxes.

 

At least we know that you didn't sell your bike to the Sunflower Man

One more :

 

- You come to a bike gathering wearing fullsuit (This one I heard from my

friends in the R1 thread)

[GuiNNeSS]

You ask loudly, in front of lots of kids on SPs & KRR, at KKFC, to question a female on a kup kia: Where is your P-plate?

 

Hmmm....about suits...

 

You went to a bikers gathering in a set of clothing items. And loudly explain to the bikers there, that you got them expensive boots, pants and top online for riding.

 

And when people asked why......you say it says Riding Boots, Riding Pants and Riding Clothes.

 

........thats for horse riding.

....you get off your sparkling, just-waxed bike, only to then start rubbing at a small stain on the tank with a worried look.

 

....you stare at your tyres, and then look at your friend's.

 

....the way to announce your departure is not through bye-bye hand waves, but by a "vooom!" of the throttle.

 

....spare parts have to come in gold.

Silver means "um...let me think about it".

Black and bronze is a confirmed "let's go to the next superbike store 10km away..."

 

Pink means you're a cutie pie on the road, suggesting an eency-weency screem, going "LOOK AT ME! I CAN RIDE A BIKE LIKE GUYS TOO!"

 

sorry ah ladies, I try not to MCP. Pls don't report me horkay?

 

 

 

 

....don't care that you're wearing a tee + bermudas + occasionally slippers, but you absolutely must wear a fullface helmet, especially those with an airbrush design of a dragon, or some eye-blinding colour theme that kids on the road would actually be inspired to be you one day.

(up to you guys to decide if this is considered poseur or not.)

 

....the idea of parking in front of a cafeteria, eatery, or any public place urges you to plan a lim-kopi trip. Tonight!

Don't put aeroplane hor!

 

 

 

One more (and that's dedicated to all the biker bros here)

 

....everybody says you eat, breathe, and sleep bikes.

I am a poser. My 5 year old bike only clocked 20 000km.

Thats debatable.

 

Some of us might remember this really, and I mean really 'big size' Malay fella riding around on a pink Vespa Scooter with square rattan basket as a topbox.

[firefox87]

1. you claim that 3 stroke bike exist.(overhead in the MRT)

2. R1 is slower than R6 cos 1000cc vs 6000cc.(same guy above)

3. removing the front fairings of a sportsbike can improve your bike.

4. you spray-painted over your sportsbike and put a DUCATI/FERRARI logo.

5. you get overtaken in a corner for being so slow and you purposely whack throttle and overtake at such a close distance when back on a straight to let me smell your 2T and hear your mod pipe.

6. you buy a kupchai and mod it to be as powerful as possible and later on, complain when your fuel consumption suffers from the mods.

7. you're a P-plater but you didn't put the P-plate sign cos it looks ugly.

8. you cover your hand over the IU unit so as not to pay ERP but you're more willing to go to the inspection centre instead.

9. you buy a bike because everyone has it.

10. you buy a bike for the attention.

11. you buy a bike for transport but prefer to take public transport instead.

12. you use an offroad helmet on a non-offroad bike.

13. you dress up your bike with neon lights but NEVER switch on headlights at night.

14. you play throttle at the traffic light to start a small race with another bike.

15. you rattle off a lot of bike names and say this bike good or no good, but when asked why, you're stumped.

16. you ride a nice bike but purposely ride slowly and open throttle at half-clutch to let everyone hear your loud pipe and then to get their attention to look at your bike.(especially true for DRZs)

 

hmm.. what else do i miss? come to think of it. most riders are posers. once they earn enough to buy a car, they'll quit riding. heh.

17. You bought a Phantom to race.

 

Its SLOW but when all the low end torque erupts from nowhere everyone stares. Ultimate poser machine

not all rider quit riding once they buy car bro.....alone, i ride....with family, i drive... but i think i'm a poser base on other points....

[firefox87]

like i say bro, most riders only. cos most people only ride for the economical factor. once they earn enough, they turned their heads on bikes cos it's too dangerous.

[CC]

Add 1: You buy a performance fast bike but you only travel 90km/hr as its too dangerous going more then that........(i've seen too much in Sillypore)

[GuiNNeSS]

One more point:

 

You spray Car Tyre Polish foam to make your bike tyres shine.

[Jan]

Poser here I am ....be it in track or city ride......ride safe...

[PBbombomlee]

Some got no economic boundary.. Got a few Ferrari's.. pagani.. just some to name. But he doesn't drive them often. He ride his HD more.

[Blahhh]

those who fold mirrors when riding... commonly from 2b pplate lacers.. but really disappointing to see it happening on class 2 bikes...

 

people who put SINGAPORE > MALAYSIA > THAILAND sticker on their bike but NEVER gone for touring!!!!

 

Got bike, put alot of accessories, change pipe, open airbox, change paintwork lah etc. But when got outing and jio him out, say dun want, waste petrol lah, no purpose etc. Den ride bike for what?

[Lim Ah Wan]

What About Those Who Haven Pass Their 2Bs But Bought Bike Already?

 

Then Everyday Pay For Parking But Bike Never Move. Everyday Go Down Wipe Here Wipe There.

[swiftee]

12. you use an offroad helmet on a non-offroad bike.

 

but sometimes when the nearest helmet is my offroad helmet, i use it while i am riding my streetbike leh...

but i also use my fullface on my scrambler so i guess it evens up

 

....don't care that you're wearing a tee + bermudas + occasionally slippers, but you absolutely must wear a fullface helmet, especially those with an airbrush design of a dragon, or some eye-blinding colour theme that kids on the road would actually be inspired to be you one day.

(up to you guys to decide if this is considered poseur or not.)

 

Errr... i only have flashy fullface helmet and off-road helmet, so i guess either way i have to be a poser...

 

....you get off your sparkling, just-waxed bike, only to then start rubbing at a small stain on the tank with a worried look.

 

aiya this is just the "new paintwork" syndrome la... give it a month, it'll go away

 

Pink means you're a cutie pie on the road, suggesting an eency-weency screem, going "LOOK AT ME! I CAN RIDE A BIKE LIKE GUYS TOO!"

 

sorry ah ladies, I try not to MCP. Pls don't report me horkay?

 

how bout guys riding pink bike?

when i read this, i have a mental image of a fat hairy man on a little pink sportsbike screaming in a eency-weency falsetto "LOOK AT ME! I CAN RIDE A BIKE LIKE GUYS TOO!" :giddy:

[Rain1407]

Curious me. Not riding a Ducati or ever own one but why does riding it consider a poser? Anyone can explain coz I don't get the joke... I'm dumb heheheh

[red rocket]

Let's face it guys. All of us bike lovers pamper their bikes.

 

We buy the best parts we can afford for our bikes... wash them at any given opportunity... Apply wax if we have the extra time.

 

So after put in all that effort, money, time and energy... We do want to enjoy the fruit of our labour, don't we? Enjoy does mean that we need to blast along CTE through the mid-day traffic at sub-300kph... There's a time and place for such heroics. Making the front page of the Straits Times as part of LTA's safety campaign is no hero.

 

If the above labels me as poser... Then so be it !!
