On leave yesterday, nothing better to do, GRAB my passport and decided I should go for a short ride. Left home about 0845hrs, reached Causeway about 0930hrs, quite good timing, not very crowded at Causeway. Handed the passport to Immigration officer, waited about 5 mins and asked the officer if I can put on my helmet, she told me "no" as she need to detain my passport. I was shocked and demand an explanation. She then shown me the passport I handed over. F***K, that's my wife's passport!

 

Liao, she detained my IC and CISCO guard was called to escort me to immigration office. Kena detained for almost an hour, they checked, interview, interogation and etc..., make me signed a document that I actually promise not to make the same mistake and again being escorted out of causeway.

 

Good to ride on weekday, I was all alone

Denied exit @ Causeway.

 

Went back home to collect my own passport and I think the whole Causeway was informed that a Sotong was trying to leave Singapore with his wife's passport as on my re-exit, an immigration officer asked : "Are you sure this passport is yours".

BMW offers ABS checks

Owners of BMWs with integral ABS systems are being told to get their brakes checked.

BMW has issued the invitation for a free inspection, which should be carried out by a dealer before February 28, 2006.

 

A spokesman said: "BMW has been made aware of two rider training incidents where, after repeated emergency braking excercises, a motorcycle's ABS system failed to activate."

 

He said initial investigations suggest it's a battery fault and that "no real world case of ABS failure, in any situation, is known to us."

Hi Squirt,

 

Is this applicable to all BMW bikes or the new models? Any idea if this is applicable to the 1200s only?

Sounds like a good offer. to get it checked.

Not sure if its only for 1200 but all this started from some case involving servo assisted ABS system. The claim was that with repeated activation of the ABS, the battery will be drained and by not allowing the recti enough opportunity to recharge the battery will result in eventual brake (servo assisted) failure.

 

I stress the word "repeated" cause in normal riding situation or even on the circuit, the chances of the ABS kicking in constantly is extremely rare unless the rider is very ham-fisted. They first found out the above during a bike test where repeated E brake was tried out.

 

You can read more here : Brake

 

The interesting stuffs are in the later posting so if possible, read the whole thread before jumping into conclusion.

 

I had my bike checked out during the last servicing a couple of months back. Its interesting to see the amount of info that can be extracted from a modern ECU, right down to the amount of time (in duration) that the front and rear brakes were utilised against the total travelling time......

really a last minute plan, I was forced to clear leave, woke up as usual 0700hrs and after wife left at 0815hrs, a bit confuse as how I should spent my leave and it just occured to me that I should go for BKT in JB then may be go to Desaru to see if there are any cute mei mei during e school holiday. hehehe.

 

May be got too excited and grabed the wrong passport. Didn't plan to go Mersing at all. I just decided to go straight instead of turning left to Desaru at the X junction and I had only RM30 with me after BKT, petrol and cigarette in JB.

 

When I reached home, I left with only RM6.00 (coins), no $ for dinner in JB.
