wat to look for when gettin a 2nd hand...

 

i just met an uncle who bought a 2nd hand silverwing. when he was looking for one, his friends told him as long as the silverwing is below 2 years old, price is right, dun care, just buy.

this is wat i feel abt silverwings also. a never say die bike. i've seen a 4 year old one, go with me touring, after abt 700km of high speed riding, no engine oil lost. good bike.

[scoobydoo]

wah heng ahhh... almost drop the bike this evening while parking

lesson learn... better for me (short fella) to get down and push bike around than to try paddle around on the bike tip toeing and slipping

[scoobydoo]

... as long as the silverwing is below 2 years old, price is right, dun care, just buy.

hehe... this was exactly what i did

actually went to motortiam for a new one but saw this showroom condition 2nd hand FBC plate... decide + bargain + bargain = bought

bike is manufactured in 2006 (new ones from 2007) but doesn't matter lah... its still a new Silverwing (see avatar)

[silverwing73]

dun think you will wan to go...

hahahhah

aleast 2hrs man!!

lol..

 

I know that's why thinking of going in around 2am 2nd link thought is starting to clear up

[silverwing73]

anyway, tuas is free flowing now and woodland is still heavily congested, just check the hotline as well as the website camera.

 

so anyone want to get cheap petrol across the crossway

[HelmetBOX1605198525]

I know that's why thinking of going in around 2am 2nd link thought is starting to clear up

 

i see

that will be a much better choice..

ahhahah

anyway i'm going in most likely friday want to join??

going in via 2nd link on thur 2359.

that is provided if you don't mind going with other scooters make.

[Maos Adventure]

I know that's why thinking of going in around 2am 2nd link thought is starting to clear up

 

by 12am you hit 2nd link will not jam liao.

tested & proven last night.

[scoobydoo]

can we really save by pumping petrol at Johore?

my estimations using 2nd link as example:

 

tank capacity = 16L

assume cut-off point at reserve = 3.5L

ExxonMobil Syn 8000 = S$1.872/L (after 10% discount from S$2.08/L)

top up full tank cost in SG = 12.5L x S$1.872 = S$23.40

 

SW400 fuel consumption = 22Km/L

travel from home to GP Shell (2nd link) = 45Km = 2.1L = S$3.93

petrol pumped = 16 - 3.5 + 2.1 = 14.6L

Shell V-Power = RM2.15/L

exchange rate = S$1:RM2.27

cost of top-up to full tank = 14.6L x RM2.15 = RM31.39 = S$13.83

travel from GP Shell (2nd link) to home = 30Km = 1.4L = RM3.01 = S$1.33

cost of tolls to/fro = (2 x RM1.60) + (2 x S$0.70) = S$2.81

total cost to pump GP Shell (2nd link) = S$3.93 + S$13.83 + S$1.33 + S$2.81 = S$21.90

 

savings = S$23.40 - S$21.90 = S$1.50

petrol left on return = 16L - 1.4L = 14.6L

 

assume compare full tank to full tank:

additional top up of 1.4L to full tank = 1.4 x S$1.872 = S$2.62

cost to full tank = S$21.90 + S$2.62 = S$24.52

 

savings?

 

hehe... its just another way of looking at things

[anodise57]

i think its more of the excuse to ride in......clear some carbon and smell the nite air of Malaysian Air......

 

my 600 FC worst.. wat is justified?? hahahahha

well if Causeway is diff liao.. can save a bit .. .hahaha

i think it all depends on where you stay ba.

but your calculation abit chim lah.

& some others go in not just for the petrol.

Go in via causeway if you wanna save $..

Yet there's always the other side of the coin (jam most of the time)

[scoobydoo]

my estimations using causeway as example... but i hate the jam and smoke:

 

tank capacity = 16L

assume cut-off point at reserve = 3.5L

ExxonMobil Syn 8000 = S$1.908/L (after 10% discount from S$2.12/L)

top up full tank cost in SG = 12.5L x S$1.908 = S$23.85

 

SW400 fuel consumption = 22Km/L

travel from home to JB Shell (via causeway) = 20Km = 0.9L = S$1.72

petrol pumped = 16 - 3.5 + 0.9 = 13.4L

Shell V-Power = RM2.15/L

exchange rate = S$1:RM2.27

cost of top-up to full tank = 13.4L x RM2.15 = RM28.81 = S$12.69

travel from JB Shell (causeway) to home = 18Km = 0.82L = RM1.76 = S$0.78

cost of tolls to/fro = NIL

total cost to pump JB Shell = S$1.72 + S$12.69 + S$0.78 = S$15.19

 

savings = S$23.85 - S$15.19 = S$8.66

petrol left on return = 16L - 0.82L = 15.18L

 

assume compare full tank to full tank:

additional top up of 0.82L to full tank = 0.82 x S$1.908 = S$1.56

cost to full tank = S$15.19 + S$1.56 = S$16.75

 

yes... some savings

[scoobydoo]

but your calculation abit chim lah

this calculation is actually a simplified version as cost factors such as time, bike wear-n-tear, etc. not considered. underlying idea is... how much it cost to top up till full tank in SG and in Johor:

(a) in SG... only top up cost as gas station is across the street to my block

(b) in Johore... need to add traveling costs and toll charge to top up cost
