It's just to test ride and assess how is it. I have arrange with owner 1130 am at toa payoh on thursday.. so please if you are willing, let me know? my no is 97547294.. thank you!!

[hecter85]

haha.. i have no idea about the benefit.. how about a drink or lunch?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

TPY? I work there. I could pop by at lunch or something.

 

Although, we'd all prefer if it was after work. An impartial judgment needs quality time, you know :3

[hecter85]

alright sms you le!

[hecter85]

[Icomeforyou]

Excellent... how bout wait till hector85 get his bike? From his tone of voice, he sounds really soon...

 

Then we can go find a nice place to makan, if parking is a concern, 515 is always a safe bet.... thne can ride down to the new woodlands waterfront? Their huge carpark has only 4 bike lots, but ample space to park, even has a ramp to the huge area =P Without blocking any access of course

 

End of month sounds good? Weekday Weeknight? 30th of June (Wednesday)? Can happily gather as getting GST CREDITS!!! =P

Hector letting Dr. Chong have a go on the bike is an excellent idea. Just be sure to go there early in the morning if possible so you're the first customer. (9am). Otherwise queue and Chong might be a bit preoccupied.

 

30th for 1st Woodlands Outing looks good. And I need some subjects for convoy video shoots

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

yeah...lunch meet...?

 

care to confirm the time early? I'll need to devise a cover story and book time off :3

He is not a normal mechanic.... he is a Doc to us. If u looking for plastic surgeon for ur Phantom, go Lengkok Bahru..

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

"Rosa Espinhosa" recommend tpy famous food.

 

Thursday? Sure, I have a place in mind that's not too costly or crowded, and air conditioned. We'll let Hecter designate the meeting point for bike test

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Oh, don't worry, the place doesn't have marked up prices. unlike other kopitiams.

[Silent Hunter]

Go where? Until now still don't know leh.

[Silent Hunter]

Yes, but meet where? TPY is very big!

[Silent Hunter]

Got it. See you guys at Blk 213 tomorrow then.

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

We need someone to do a rain dance to ensure clear skies tomorrow. Last time Patrick did one, it was sunny

Hecter85's Secret Weapon Testing

 

Thursday, 17 June 2010

Time: 11.30am - 1pm

Location: Block 213 Toa Payoh Lorong 8 (see map below for GPS coordinates)

 

Subject:

Exhibit A

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6467981&postcount=111

 

Details:

 

First ever recorded PK community bike evaluation. Use this event as an excuse to TCSS, promote (soon to be) vintage Phantoms, etc.

 

It may be a good idea to demonstrate what a "healthy" Phantom looks/sounds like too, for buyer awareness.

 

Attendance:

 

1. The Mysterious Phantom Seller (Harly)

2. The Prospect (hecter85)

3. Chief Mechanical Officer (mepkoh)

4. Special Operative (Silent Hunter)

5. Raven-haired Kitten (guess who?)

[hecter85]

Oh, and the bike is posted at our buy and sell by Harly. oh and had an overhaul done 1 year plus ago.

[hecter85]

whats hector budget?

 

I have no idea where are we eating leh. No budget is what I would like to say, but haha I'm still a student so go easy on me

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Ahh, don't worry about the price, it's quite okay here in TPY central. We'll decide on location tomorrow, we worry about the bike first...

 

Parking might be an issue, TPY central parking is 0.65 per entry (EPS), or if you want free bike parking be prepared to walk a bit. NOT safe to park on pavement beside main road bus stop.

 

Seen Harly's pics and it's a nice bike! Just look at the chrome..

Damn excited about the bike! Haha

I'm already thinking what things to install crashbar eagle footrest etc.

Hope it doesn't rain.

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Rain, our worst enemy indeed. The weather forecast predicts "late morning thunderstorm" - let's hope it's wrong.

 

Depending on seller we could start planning for contingencies - hold the testing at an alternative location, for instance. Such as Blk 490 MSCP in TPY central. Unfortunately it's 65 cents per entry.

 

Weather Outlook: 16 - 30 June 2010

 

1. For the next fortnight, Southwest Monsoon conditions will continue to prevail over Singapore and the surrounding region. The low-level winds are expected to blow predominantly from the southeast or southwest.
   
2. During the period, short-duration showers with thunder are expected on 5 to 6 days in the late morning and afternoon. In addition, widespread showers with thunder accompanied with occasional gusty winds due to "Sumatra" squalls are likely on 2 to 3 days between the predawn hours and early morning. Rainfall for June 2010 is likely to be above average for most parts of Singapore.
   
3. Rainfall for June 2010 is likely to be above average for most parts of Singapore.

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Yep, shouldn't be too much noise, what with a 4 stroker and the rain dampening everyone's spirits and more importantly, the sound

 

Of course, we can always try mass prayers or whatever to drive the rain to Malaysia

[hecter85]

Thanks guys for coming today. Transfer in progress and did some minor maintenance. The bike will be towed to my carpark probably in the evening at $20. ^^

But i'm surprised by the insurance.. damn ex.. !
