Hihi! Yep, one of those who took yesterday (1st Oct) @ SSDC. Out of 90+ of us the passing rate was around 60++ to 70. Is this considered good? I donno, but I am damm happy, cause 1st time took, 1st time passed, summore I had been taking the 2B course for many months ready, so was getting very draggy. We were all pretty nervous, cause 10 mins into the test, started to rain, -_-... many of us no confidence to ride in rain mah, esp the crank course, figure 8 and e-braking. Luckily the rain stopped soon after, although most of us had to endure the rain and wet floor while taking the test. Was impressed by the SSDC instructors though: very professional, constantly reminded us to keep calm and relaxed, and gave us all the tips to pass the test. Overall had a pleasant experience learning 2B at SSDC... and one of the last batches to take @ SSDC before they shift to Woodlands soon...

Haha. Hey Thanks Thanks. Yep... thats a TW200 alright. It's the 1st bike I fell in love with when I first started getting interested in bikes. I do not have a bike, yet, but planning to get one within the next month. Honestly, I can afford a TW, but I am contemplating whether or not spending 7.5K++ on it is really worth it at the moment. I did find out more about it, and no doubt its a great bike, but ya, I am still not too sure. Bajaj Pulsar seems like another great bike though. But I am keeping my options open... And yeah, was awaiting the day for a looong time, and it has arrived. 2B baby!!

saw this bike having a blind spot mirror which is very rare, is it useful for a bike. I have it on my car and find it very good and when i'm riding the bike i cant get use to it cause of the much smaller mirror

Those blind spot mirrors can be bought if I'm not mistaken.

[scubasimon]

@PolarisX: best thing to do is to talk to people who have owned the bike for the duration you want to own yours. if you are buying new, talk to people who bought new. if you are buying used, talk to people who bought used. you get the idea

 

@SparkerS1: hmmm...sounds creepy man...hahahahaha!!!

[SparkerS1]

hmmm...sounds creepy man...hahahahaha!!!

 

hehe, cos the rider is fast, tats y i wanna know if around in the forum or not

[scubasimon]

@SparkerS1: you mean a fast TW200 with sideboxes and p-plate? interesting...i also wanna know this person now...cos my TW200 max speed is only 90kph with solid vibrations which nobody can stand. so i am essentially limited to 70+kph...

sorry to disappoint you, the passing rate for SSDC is infact the lowest of all driving centres. it does not mean it's a bad thing though. i think the instructors really teach the students well, or at least most of them do. my guess is the ssdc testers might be stricter than other testers from other driving centres?

[Fritz]

Highest or lowest, does it make a difference? They are just marketing tactics to appeal to those naive students to come to their DC. Ultimately, it's up to your individual skills to get the license.

[slashkai]

Oh haha but i tot is juz all the same testers rotating around the few DCs?

Seems lyk Polaris's TP have a high passing rate tat day in ssdc.

[scubasimon]

passing the TP is a black art...you gotta draw a pentagram on your room floor, collect a small bit of your blood, a strand of hair, a lizard's tail and a snake's tongue...burn them all in the middle of the pentagram and recite "Omegomowa" ten times the night before...sure pass

[Jeethan]

what kind of a recipe is that? haha
