varas>> Yes I want the tour cross (non-motard). PSB approved ones.

 

riddick>> I'm currently using a tour cross (TX) right now. I've seen the tour cross motard as well. To me there is no difference at all other than the 'chio' factor. TX motard will have TX motard logo at the back instead of tourcross. The TX motard has a 2 tone fade away paint job and a golden air intake at the mouth piece. There is an additional air vent at the top of the helmet. Other than these aesthetics differences, I do not notice any other design differences. (based on my personal observations)

 

From my own knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong). Local arai agents does not send TX motard for PSB approval. Only the normal TX has the approval sticker. When I asked them for the TX motard PSB approved ones, they say they cost will go up and will be passed down to end user. Hence they dun send for PSB testing. I also don't want to pay extra for the 'chio' factor and get a non PSB certified helmet. I rather pay less for a normal TX with PSB approval.

bara>> I have to check if the TX got the stix. Let u know again , dun wanna disappoint u... anyway , I am not getting from chap lee..

[Trex]

chrislayer> Public transport lah bro, my wife use the car to fetch kids from school.....need to sacrifice a bit lah....got bike wake up 0630hrs no bike wake up 0500hrs......sian man.....

[riddick]

[Asap]

Riddick > 950 adv is ard 28k OTR. For 990 additional 2k if i remember correctly. Was at Dirtwheel last mth to chk out on the bike. Awesome looking machine. The Boss granted permission to testride the 950 Supermoto whc has similar engine as adv. Fantastic feeling like orgasm sia......

I'm afraid you are wrong.

 

TX motard - non PSB approved more expensive than normal TX-PSB approved. (from local arai agents)

 

I'm not sure what prices varas can give us.

[riddick]

[ATwin]

vara>> Aiyo vara bike price value drop so low...my previous AT bike ( FT Plate)still can claim back $10k from the insurance company. That will be a disadvantage to Trex that just lost his vara....hope he can fetch at a higher claim amount.

 

 

Getz_Ard>> doing cameroon highland this weekend....err..i think u better check the road conditions there..Latest news said that the road had been closed due to land slide....take care.

Dear bros,

 

 

i juz came out of SGH last nite as i was involved in a hit & run accident by a white passenger van, nearby RELC hotel at orange grove road & fernhill road around 6.45pm.

 

2 expatriate passerby helped me out of the from being run over by on coming vehicle during the drizzling rain, as i suffered mild abrasion on my right elbow, knee & foot, i was taken by ambulance.

 

i am appealing for any eyewitnesses to help me & the investigating officer to find the culprit who may cause other danger to other riders & driver on the roads.

 

i am riding a red/white striped ducati monster FR plate.

 

pls call Sgt Vincent Low 65476187 for any information about this.

 

 

regards a fellow biker
