Hello guys !!!

 

I am in scotland now, its freezing here man ... hehehee

 

miss the tue copi session liao ... haiz

 

eris , get Edw to join u ppl k .I have yet to see te logo, but i am sure it would be nice. kekeke

 

So far no sight of bike shop yet, bikes here are rare mode of transportation. The latest i ever seen is the 600cc honda. The biggest I seen is a 1100 BMW , old school bike,damn old model.

I guess folks here perfer car to bikes. The weather is cold & wet. Rain out of the sudden, wind piercing through u... i guess riding bikes in this kind of weather is really a turn off... hehehee

 

Anyway guys , keep the flame of VARA rolling .

Got to go liao .. U boys take care and ride safe k

yikes..sounds shitty..hope summer would change things there...kekek

[elws]

Well I also need to know how to service VARADERO. Now riding Varas bike. Need to help him take care of his baby. Need help from u guys.

 

Looks like varas is enjoying himself in the freezing condition. Cheers Man!!!

[Varas]

elws > i dun enjoy the cold at least. I am more a sun person... but lots of chicks here hahahahha. Friendly too , unlike back in sgp, all so tao..

wahahahahaaa

For changing the oil, pls try to go to small mah spares. Let them do the dirty job. Bring my oil filter along, change motul k. I think abt time to change liao hehehehe thanks dude.

[elws]

So r u referring to the mah at Dunlop St??????? I think will try mineral oil but will be more frequent in changing the oil to determine whether it suits the V-Twin. Start to get used to the bike......dare to corner a bit more........haha.......dun worry u will get ur bike back in one piece or many other more pieces.......haha......R

 

Regarding the chicks I cant help u much so enjoy urself with them...........Cheers!!!

Good to know the thread is going...and Varas, that you are enjoying the new place.

I should be able to hang out next Tues - confirm later.

 

Riddick - I hv a Haynes manual for the Vara if you want to take a look at. Let me know. I change oil and filter by myself, but getting the tank up/out is a real b***h.

 

Smicer - Lights...need more lights....(the fog lights)...Singaporean cagers are blind.(plus the roads are so bright) - any idea with smaller foggies?

 

elws - now juggling 2 bikes?!! So technically a 4 wheeler...

been looking ard for smaller (driving) lights..piaa and optilux has some mean ones in ebay...(yes.dats rite..im been looking ard after dat day..kekekke)

[smicerboy]

Afrika twin n Kenny>>mine is hella comet 500.....u may try hella comet 450 (but it is rectangular shape) smaller in size a bit.....

 

I personally feel it is not to have too small fog lamps as our bike is a monster.... so lets make it big man... :bouncefire:

 

more for "cosmetic" in sgp but a hell lot of use when u tour.....(just how i feel...)

 

 

[elws]

Haha, Now presently 2 bikes only. My 1100 baja is in the workshop pending for spares part. So once repair will back to 3.....still can take in somemore bikes....any givers!!!

hey smicer..yeah..big is good!!keke..

but the smaller driving lights is more useful for trips as they illuminate further from the bike...

fog lights brighten the immediate area and the light is useful for penetrating thru fog, rain,etc..

so a combination of them (cosmetic and functionality) would be a blast!! ...when im richer anyway..

 

elws is collecting more bikes ah..haha

Thought Touratech lights look nice...not to big. (altho the bike IS big - cagers are still BLIND)

 

touratech ones are very nicely done..but it look slike must drill some holes thru the sides fairings..i've seen one in singapore drilled in dat way..but im not sure if it's touratech...

 

how abt elws's baja??it will sure look funny on our bikes..hahah

Varas, and the rest of the folks - on fuel consump. I get BETTER mileage fr SPC 92 RON!! Tried 98 and 95, lousy at 240-250km. Something's wrong with my bike...I never get more than 290km before reserve light is lit bright and clear. and the bike's suppose to be stock (i think) except for the K&N filter.

 

Kenny and Smicer - there are nice spot lights from places like motolights.com etc. but they cost like $300 a pair. USD! Thought Touratech lights look nice...not to big. (altho the bike IS big - cagers are still BLIND)

 

elws - what's the other ride? a scoot? TW200? The way you describe your Baja1100...to just "whack", makes it sound like it's more of an RXZ. haha.

better do a tunning bro....it will cost u ar $70....aft it u can go at least 320km man....

 

with petronas i can go 340km....

 

as for the fog lamp-usd300 for a pair is crazy man....might as well get a gd touring suit............

[Varas]

Afrikatwin> elws trying to say bmw bikes dun whack also spoilt easily, so might as well whack it . So spoilt already not so wasted.

(But elws , u dun whack my bike okay , I will whack ur ass when i am back hahahahaaa)

I think ur oil jets spoilt or been changed. U gotta go check it out. Last time my RVF also got that prob, got better when i changed the jets.

 

Kenny > I dun think need to drill holes leh, u can check it out at touratech website.the bracket fit in perfectly ...

 

Riddick> it's been a while leh, tot u lost in mount biang hehehe . Nvr managed to catch up with before i leave , nvr mind kopi together when i am back ok

[dough76]

hey guys, me also looking for a pair of foggies..where can i find ? how to install?

 

u guys know where bryan's shop is now..he relocate from Katong to do know where ... he can bring in Touratech stuffs...

[Kenny]

varas> yeah..ur right! i think just needs to screw in the bracket..but it costs euro 330! prob the one i saw ain't a touratech..

 

doughboy> i just got myself a pair of comets from a car accessories shop along jalan besar..will be passing to my mech to install...but now..got to think where to put..keke
