Hello

 

Thanks for the comments especially GS1200,Koma & SDR and not to mention those I have missed out. I met a guy riding the the R1150GS Adv with nice number on the road. Asked about the Adv and his comments was if you are able to live with the weight by all means go ahead fully loaded during stationary. Other than than it's a good bike for real long distance touring. He also commented that with a full tank on until reserve he can hit from Tapah until GP non stop at legal speed.

 

He said that otherwise with the same kind of price go for the 1200GS. His comments about the 1200GS' handling and speed which was very positive as he just made a trip with another rider on a 1200GS in January this year. But the down side of this was due to the fact that the 1200GS is still not proven and they are still sorting out the unknown problems.

 

Thanks once again for all the positve comments. I'll be heading down to PML to book a Adv.

 

Cheers

gd buy, always wanted the adventure also but due to the seat height of the adventure i cant handle it as it is too high for me...

Yeap...I like the part

Khoo Family, 19 cars , 50 years.......

 

 

Immediately an idea came to my mind. BMW can make an ad using me as their subject:

 

First scene

will show PL arrive at a job interview on his GS, looking nervous adjusting his tie. Moments later, he walks out of the lobby, he clenches his fists, screaming 'YES!'. He do all this facing his GS, as if telling it he's got the job.

 

2nd scene

Shows PL going out on a date, coming out of a theatre with his lady. They were walking towards the carpark, looking at each other lovingly along the way. Then reaching a car, PL opens the door and the lady step in. Then PL walks to the driver side of the car as the camera zoom out, showing the whole body of a BMW 3-series.

 

3rd scene

Shows PL and wife walking out of a nice terrace house carrying stuff into a car boot. The camera follows PL as he got into the driver seat, then the camera follows him as he turn to the back, looking at his wife strapping their 3 little children onto the back seat. His children smiles at him as his wife step into the seat beside him. Then as they close their car doors, the camera zoom out and up, showing a BMW 5-series move out of the car porch.

 

4th scene

PL sitting at the chairman seat of a long mahogany conference table in a spacious room with all the projectors showing some bars and charts and flowcharts and animations on screen and somebody making presentation. Then the presenter looks at PL nervously, seeking approval. The whole room was expecting PL to say something. Then PL cooly, slowly...nodded. And the presenter's face turn to relief. PL smiles. Moments later they all walk out to the lobby of the building together, heading for lunch. Camera zoom to a BMW 7-series as a chauffer opens the car door for PL to get in.

 

5th scene

PL sitting at a garden of a huge beautiful bungalow sipping tea as his grandchildren run and play around him. Then one of his very small and cute granddaughter tripped and accidentally collapse between his lap and start to cry. PL laughs and carries her and then gather all his grandchildren together and they walk towards a car. Camera zoom out and up showing his grandchildren all running towards a car a BMW 6-series, opening its doors on their own to get in. PL then turn to look at his son standing at the side smiling looking at all the commotion. PL winks at his son, and throws the car keys to him. PL's son catches the keys, and step into the driver seat. PL walks away to another side of the car, still carrying the granddaughter that tripped on his lap just now, pulls off the cover that is covering something, camera only shows cover falls onto the ground. Then camera zoom to PL putting on a small and cute helmet for his granddaugter. Then camera shows PL putting on a BMW Evo helmet (tinted). PL climbs onto the seat of a bike while his graddaughter stood there with her hands stretched out, waiting for her grandpa to carry her. PL looks at her, bend down and tap his index finger on her helmet playfully and carries her onto the fuel tank. Camera zoom to granddaughter's face, smiling happily and excitedly. Then camera moves to the back of the bike, zoom out and up showing the latest model of a dark grey BMW RT moving off slowly.

 

The screen goes blank, and the tagline appears:

 

"Some people just know what's best for them in life....."

 

 

All the above scenes are in slow motion and with nice accompanying music. BMW prob need to hire James Cameron to compose some nice music for the mood and feel.

 

hahahahah

hahaha~~!! nice 1 bro

hehe thought that "Someone DaRe" olredi buy the "S" liao~~

yah rt will be goin dwn m-tech tml after i finished takin out some parts frm my other bike at stamford motors. may juz sit there whole day tok cok sing song n spend some more $$ doin up my bike with u guys c how lar cause tml got alot of stuff 2 do. quite gian to go track n try out my bike

yah gabes best leave the bike cool dwn overnite let all the metal cool dwn to normal room temperature tats when u do the valve clearance n would be more accurate. best if u can get the haynes manaul for ur bike n read up urself then at least u knoe wat the mech is doin. eh gabes how much chua quote u for the quick release valve?? i also tinkin of changin that 2gther with my fuel hose n fuel filter on my next service so it be easier to change ur hall sensor which u need to remove the tank.

 

hmm... let me check

1)bigger gear shifter changed

2)rear brake pedal enlarged

3)bigfoot installled

4)seats changed

 

the 1st 3 muz say greatly improve the bike in terms of riding convenience

the seat i still gettin used to it cause my ass big so find seat spacing abit small maybe go haytai cut off the cushion abit
