SBF Silverwings Cafe 2008 - JDM/Euro 400/600

[SW9000]

Weather is a nice 19-25 C.

Girls likes shorts, stockings and high boots.

 

Some known facts:

1. Housing is ultra expensive. Mostly in the size of 3-room flats that could cost around 500k ups. Low level flats (7 and below) don't have lift. Most high level flats are well over 50 storeys.

2. Roads are confusing and narrow. So many cars and they have many toll gantries too.

3. The tea and coffee sucks but the chinese food = Yummy!

 

4. Hong Kong Disney has been losing $$ for the past 3 years. Why? Because damn mainland tourist's behavior is driving others away! Queue jumping, pushing and shoving, spitting, littering. You name it they'll show it. Though some are well-bahaved, there were too few.

** Of course I've also witness ultimate kiasuism by SG ppl (you'll know them by sight and hearing). 2 aunties (mid 20s) bought a few ornamental accessories and DEMANDED the casher gave them 10 beautiful Disney bags... each. Wah, I walked far far away from them. So paisey.

 

5. If you're thinking of going HK Disney, think again. It's only 1/4 the size of US's and 1/2 of Japan's.

Back from Hong Kong.

Didn't get to move around alone becos got to babysit the kids while wifey goes shopping.

Too few bikes there and are mostly scooters, mainly Burgmans and Majesty. Saw a couple of Silverwings too.

[bigcow]

y that fellow never post liao huh???

[scoobydoo]

ya... just found out is a hand brake. anyway if i wanna buy a box for swing 400. can i get 1 which previously from super 4 ir other bike? if not what should i buy to fit the box. is a givi simply 45l

tot u gave up buying SWing liow... still undecided

like bigcow said, all we need to get is the box and its base plate coz base plate can be fitted onto the SWing's tail fin directly, no rack is necessary. this means almost any box should fit

in fact, i think the tail fin is designed for such purpose coz if u look from the bottom, there're 4 "holes" prepared. do tell the motortiam to drill holes from there coz one of our fellow riders kenna. not knowing there's such holes, the mech anyhow drilled 4 holes as he deem fit to fix the baseplate

[scoobydoo]

2 aunties (mid 20s) ...

wa-lau-eh brudder... mid 20s already kenna classified as aunties liow, then mid 30s become grandma, mid 40s become monsters liow lor ... http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Laughing/tv-062.gif

i agree on that - yup this fellow has posted again...

 

i went to macau venetian 2mths ago and i'll never go back there again..

 

they should restrict the amount of mainland tourist going in and put them on a leash and tape their mouth for those going in..

 

but not all all bad behavior,just 90% of them.

when i opened cover of my bike, one malay uncle with his kid said this: "WOAH! nice bike! Biggest vespa i've ever seen"

sad to say, Singapore also getting her brunt of these mainland people(though not all are like that but close to the 90% as what thatone1 mentioned)

 

I just brought my daughter to the National Libraby.... people eating, talking loudly in the PRC accent... kids of those PRC parents throwing and piling up approx 100 books on the library floor... and when y daughter took a book, 1 of those kids actually tried to snatched from her!

only the indian muslim coffee shop next to the Petronas and some other small muslim stalls.

but suggest u take your supper along Seremban there where u can find a 24 hr Mac Donald's in a Petronas. unless your supper at the beginning of your trip is a light one. cos too heavy a stomach will have u more sleepy.

[thatone1]

Yup.

Review - Pirelli Diablo Scooter Tyres

 

Had used the tyres for almost a week.

Just nice, this afternnon heavy downpour, can give review on dry and wet conditions liao..

Fyi, my last pair of tyres was Michellin Pilot sports.

 

Dry

As compared to Michellin Pilot Sports, Michellin wins hands down on dry road conditions. Michellin does hard cornerings more smoothly than Pirelli diablo.

 

Wet

Have to admit Diablo is better in wet conditions.

I have more confidence with Diablo in wet conditions as the tyres grip is better. Perhaps it could be due to the pattern of the tyre threads.

 

My next pair of tyres:

Pirelli Diablo Scooter

 

REasons:

- Better grip in wet conditions than Michellin Pilot Sports

- Cheaper abit as compared to Michellin

- I expect Pirelli to last longer and gives me better milage than Michellin
