Hi guys,

 

I quite like the vara125. Any reliable recommendations of where I can get one, either new or from you guys?

 

How much a new machine will cost? And second hand one?

 

Wonder how many varas are there in Singapore. Dun see many around.

 

Thanks!

[DaNiYaL]

Yo Wassup Brothers!...juz dropping by saying HI !!!...

 

Redwolf>>> Vara125 is a good bike...good fuel consumption...good handling...corner monster...bike tried and tested to and fro Thailand...SUPERB !!......if you want to ride the bike for long...buying first hand is a good option....no worry !!...

[RedWolf]

A Mystery Trip Back From Ponggol....

 

Last Thursday nite i was heading back home from ponggol...

... my bike cant go more den 60km....as if someone heavy was sitting behind me....i look at my side mirrors...saw long hair flying behind me....

Wow... brader...really really interesting story, ive heard of people reporting about this on old tampines rd. i really wonder how the stroy ends..

 

so you see the hair at side mirror (whats the color)? is it black or white?

can u feel like something IS sitting behind?

 

Then after that what did you do? eventually the thing just dissappeared or what happen?

 

i dont know what the rest of you belief in (ghost or spirits) i totally believe its this supernatural creature called 'jin'.

 

a friend -friend's had this similar encounter.... then he just stopped somewhere and shouted... "TURUN! TURUN, ENGKAU MESTI TURUN KAT SINI, TURUN!!!!" translated into english from malay means "get down, you must get down here". and apprantly it did...

 

ok brader lookng for-ward to hear a update on this story from you..

 

On a different story (told by daniyal) about him smoking and the smoke.. didnt dissapear but stayed still and formed a 'face'!. Friend told me .. the 'jin' food is smoke!.. yep... they are made of smoke.....so basically smokers... *hehe* beware..

 

got a friend who.. was doing guard duty... then was smoking at a spot.. then his friend told him not to look up... he can feel a shadow above him... the moment he dripperd the cigeratte.. the 'flying floating shadow' dissapear..

 

interesting huh....welcome your stories and comments.....

Hi…all Vara bros, Peace…

 

 

 

 

ECO RECCE RIDE PART II

 

 

TRIP REPORT

 

a feedback about this place called Batu Layar near Pungai.

 

with plenty of low tree foliages acting as natural shelter along the beach, its an ideal place for picnic or camping. but do note, as these are privately owned land, need to pay toll for using some facilities. food stalls run by locals are abundant.

 

there are chalets and resort. at least six of them, with two more under construction.some a bit run down too.its not hard to find one, just look and follow the billboard. like always,very laid back kampung ambience.don’t expect any night life around the vicinity. nearest town is either at Desaru or Sungei Rengit. given a choice, Batu Layar is more appealing in many ways. seeing is believing.its no wonder,Desaru is getting deserted nowadays.

 

 

IMO.. highly recommended for a short get away.

 

 

 

 

Al-Simmons >> ..ok noted. mucho gracia senor..

 

 

 

Embrace >> …lucky thing ‘it’ didn’t embrace you. btw,get well soon, bro.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RIDE SAFELY

Ride is passion.Safety is decision.

The spacing seems ok to me . But rite now have to reconsider since it cant fit a flip up helmet. Gota source for other alternatives. But none of the side boxes look as cool and nice as the H&B that you guys have, I must say.

Embrace > Bro, Im living in Punggol, dun scare me leh. Btw nice pics.

 

 

By the way, just to add on, few weeks ago while my partner and I were upating some stuffs at Fort Canning Park and smoking with another colleague, I suddenly heard some movement amongst the bushes and felt as if i'm being watched. Then felt really uneasy. Took a look at the bushes (Bad move) but saw nothing (Lucky). I tot nothing about it. All of a sudden, a strong wind blows by and I felt the same thing again. took another look but still nothing. I walked up to my partner and without saying a word to him, he suddenly said to my other colleague that we are leaving. Felt so strange, we just left without saying much. It was much later that my partner asked me if I saw anything earlier. I told him no but felt rather uneasy. He then told me that after the strong wind, he felt as if there are some 'dirty' things there at Fort Canning and he also smell some fragrance. That's why he suddenly wants to go in a hurry. It was so errie then. But to be fair, none of us saw anything.

 

Anyway, some of my friends told me that if it is a fragrant smell, the 'thing' is far. If the smell is bad, then the 'thing' is very near. Makes me wonder, then there must be alot of that 'thing' in toilets and rubbish dumps.
