hmmm... actually there a cheap half cap used by many scooters/vespas riders...

they got it from bugis streets... 1 of the shops selling lots of bags opp the escalator there..

think under 50bucks... got black, grey n sliver... quite nice.. a bit like those german helmets...

 

But u got to be observant to find it... cos they dun really display it openly... they juz attach to 1 of the bags on display..

I see. Looks like I have to go there and search for it. Less than $50 sounds ok for me.

Other than Bugis village, you guys could check out I-con opposite Bugis Junction, Army Market at Jalan Sultan as well as the seat wrapping shop beside Aunties.

But are those places selling half caps that are DOT approved? I mean no point buying something like $50 which doesn't offer any protection at all, you're better off just wearing nothing than.

well, u definately can't wear nothing! haha u have to wear something what so just wear something lor. if it protects then good. if it dosen't protect, then... but personally, i find that novelty helmets (helmets that dont protect) look way nicer than DOT approved ones for they are slimmer and follow your hear shape better.

I got mine for $38 at Bugis Village. Then again, with the amount of bus trips I took during my lunch break to hunt for it, I might as well have gone to Chong Aik and get it.

[nights]

For anyone who is interested. I spotted two half-cap over at Chiap Lee and a few at Mah Pte Ltd.

hi bros,

 

intend to change to a harley...

 

Need some guidance on choosing one nice harley.

 

Was looking at a Harley XL1200S Sportster. '99model going for abt 10k.

 

Is that a good price? How is the fuel consumption like(understand that there is no fuel gauge)? Power wise good?

 

Currently riding a gsxr750. quite sick of that bending at low speed..need a relac bike to rest my aching back...

thats a very gd price i would say...

hows the condition>?

with or without accessories???

 

1200 consumption shld be ard 15-17km/l (if i m not wrong)

 

cool... sportser 1200, great bike...

 

 

 

Btw there is 1 guy selling his yellow 1200 sporster custom, very nice paintjob and comes with quite a number of acessories, great performance...

i tried his bike le.. not much of a problem for a 10yr bike... thou a bit on the high side. His posting is at http://www.singaporehog.com

under hog mart.

 

But when u buy harley u must rem, same model, same year can fetch 2 totally different prices, unless other bikes...

due to the accesorries and the condition of the bike/engine...

 

 

Happy shopping....

You went? So did I. The number of Harleys also got me inspired.

 

Where's Sunhogs? I hope it's not a question that has been repeated umpteen times

oh what time were u there? i was there for like 10mins only! hahaha walked around the showroom, checked out the bikes.. looked for nice 2nd hand ones. there were none that caught my attention. walked outside past all the bikes and quickly rushed back to the car across the road hoping that i've not been summoned!

 

sunhogs is at turf city. in the automobile mart or some place la. u can derive from the name that they sell cars. im not really sure which lot the shop is in... might be C5 or something.. but it's the last shop under the shelter so u can see it from the outside.
