Wow Beng Swee, nice black classic Beemer you have there!!

 

 

 

Bro Phang, how is the R1150R? Having fun?

I was doing spring cleaning and found another set of keys to the bike with the Secuirty Arm and Unarm key.

If you do pass by my place, gimme a sms yah? Or I can deliver it to your place when you are free?

[Mr.Everyday]

I ordered a BMW Summer 2 pants from a US retailer a few weeks ago and the pants came with a missing plastic belt clip. They resend the clip to me together with a very nice BMW Motorrad T-shirt by USPS. It cost them US$50 for resending a missing 50cents item. Very impressive kind of customer service

BMW roundle makes a very cool belt buckle

 

If I see someone walking around my carpark wearing that I will give him 2 big and ask questions later.

 

Many years back, there was a DIY shop in Takashimaya that sells touch-up pen of different colors for cars. But it has moved.

Anybody knows where still selling?

Paid US$199 for the pants + US$9.74 for shipping to vPost USA address. Paid S$30+ to ship it back to Singapore with some other small items.

 

Cheers,

I got a few asking about the Wunderlich Main Stands protection plate is for what year bike, here is my answer to all.

 

If you main stand look like this photos below, then it can't be fit.

It should be like this

Thanks, mamat. Even if I get the bagster, I will need a pair of roundels as the part covering them are transparent.

I just got a 2 way SPY alarm cash&carry. Will find the time and the shop to fix it.

I need to go down to Seng Kwang to change the mounting position of my spotlight too. Hopefully, Kim Keat or Stamford can fix at a reasonable price (quoted $40 for Jap bikes).

That'll be my priority. I won't get anything else until the alarm is working.

 

BTW, M-Technic offer to enlarge the tank for me for about $1K. Tempting as it is good for touring and their handiwork looks good. And my bike will be unique in the world.

But $1K (?), and also won't fit any tank bra, so not at the present moment I'm afraid. It would be fun to see my bike go farther than a GSA though!

whoa dat anti-cat net is a bit overkill.

 

Yes, imagine if you are late for work...

I believe is self make... Saw a DR 200 with a 20l tank over at M-Tech. Also about the same cost...

thaanks for the info dude...

i'm a fan of Big tanks! -=]

 

so selling ur GS(a) huh? nice bike can keep la..

the tenere single cylinder, its heavy @ 200+ fully fuelled w/o accessories..

GS650 single is under-powered...

V-strom looks to be the most likely choice for you.. but... aiya u know..

[currypuff]

2 Wheelers by Choice, eh? Unfortunately, I'm 2 Wheelers by Necessity

Though if given a choice, I would still go 2 wheels

But here's hoping I won't end up with the engineless kind.

 

Anyway, yap, it's special made. There's no aftermarket fuel tank for the R model. They propose to widen the tank by cutting off the side, so as to more or less keep the shape. So the capacity won't increase by a huge amount and the handling shouldn't be affected much.

Those who has been to the shop will know they once made a tank from Kevlar!!! Now that's what I call a TANK.

 

But I am not seriously contemplating it due to $$$. Anyway, I wouldn't need the extra range until I go beyond Thailand, something which I would like to try one day.

Anyone with an unwanted $1K peanut to spare me?

 

Why am I writing these nonsense? Because I'm at the #%$^* office trying to catch up on #%$^* work.

Damn "sian". That means bored, mr twisticle. Will find a day to meet up with you guys especially coolcat and Phang (and examine the roundrel belt).
