We all learn from each other & share our experiences.

I am keen to know, how do you "e-brake with line of advance in direction of gap". Do you mean you can change direction while e-braking?

ya lor... we all learn n share mah, this i learn from a more senior biker so i just pass on lor

heh heh... accept or not up to individual

anyway, this is only a theoretical suggestion to an emergency situation aiming to minimise damage... i dunno whether it has been tested or proven yet. whether or not siam into gap for the remaining stopping distance could really result in a less serious impact and minimise damage, just hope so lor. guess its better than a slam direct into backside situation. but if suay, anything could go wrong.

 

i sincerely hope that no one needs to try it

 

trying to change direction while e-braking could cause your bike to skid... bike instructor demonstrated (he didn't buang though) this to us during the defensive riding course

as for sequence, guess it should be bike heading for gap then execute braking. else, i think sure skid one

 

 

dude take it easy, I think he meant what you're saying

hahahahah... no worries mate, cooooool

[Guest @h_püi™]

like hamsterwhale said or you wait and tahan till your next full servicing and do it all up then feel realy good

 

cos i scare too much of the hard starting later will lead to starter spoile

Hi, just to enquire, is paying 1k for insurance(TPFT) common for a phantom? the TA200 version... I'm 19 and just passed my license...

[jB]

wow thats kinda ex lol..so much for a phantom mitsui is it? maybe its because of your P plate and your age.. mine's around 5-600+ for normal 3rd party i think.

[TheYasMan]

1K for Fire and Theft is generally a little bit lower than average for a 19 year old during Probation Period. The market rate is currently about 1K-1.3K last i heard, for such situations after this year's 3 hikes in insurance pricings.

[EK]

actually ntuc quote me 900 plus... haha.. wif free ntuc voucher $50... is izzit worth the price? or is it better to find another insurance company?

[noobike]

bro, bo pian one. You too "you kee" liao. Insurance loading on age and P plate. Mine is $300 for 3rd party, and I got it on the 2nd day of passing. That was inclusive of the $150 loading for p-plate.

[EK]

Why yours $300 onli? Big differences lei..

[Replay]

maybe long long long ago...

[josephsbs]

[EK]

pardon me... ;p wad does you kee means? my chinese/horkien disn't tat good.. sry sry...

[jB]

"you kee" = young lad or sth like that lol..

[econbizer]

Gotta noob question..

 

If you got yourself a flat tyre, would you tow or ride v slowly to a repair shop??

[jB]

if its real flat( you can tell visibly), don't ride, you'll just damage your rims or some other things and end up paying more and getting more frustrations in return.

 

if its just a nail in you TUBELESS tyre and your tyre is not punctured alot, then you still can ride slowly.still not advisable..

 

best to tow, 20 bucks and wait max for 2 hour(even at night) and you'll get a saviour in return.Metalfyre gave me that hotline before.Saved my night

[EK]

but i onli apply insurance onli after 2 weeks after i pass my license... how come still more expensive than noobike de? his 300 onli... he apply 2 days after he pass...

[jB]

age dude, he could be older than 25 and in a diff age group while you're still below 20 and in a very expensive age group. Diff insurance companies do affect pricing a lil but its usually slight diff and ignored, in this case.Have to let him tell ya.

Guys, is it possible to lower our phantoms?

 

maxvelox I think this is the bike you are looking for. A real beauty (of course in the eyes of the beholder).

Steed has that kind of look, slender, higher tank and lower seat. The springer edition is a real eye catcher.

[TheYasMan]

actually ntuc quote me 900 plus... haha.. wif free ntuc voucher $50... is izzit worth the price? or is it better to find another insurance company?

 

Wah, im surprised it's of that price. Usually its tops! Mitsui is offering above 1K for the premium.

 

Anyways the differences that make up the price gaps are rider's age, Probation periods, riding experience, what bike/how many CCs, which insurance company and the relative premiums itself. The prices hiked 3 times in 2007, so dont be shocked to hear very low prices for insurances applied in the past, especially before this year.
