Hi Vincent,

I think the training ctr does not allow student to wear 'full face' for lessons.

I am sure somebody out here surely have 'open face' used helmets in their storeroom in reasonable condition to give away. Heh heh heh

 

I'll dig into my store room tonight as I think I might have at least 2 reasonable 'open face' helmet with aprove sticker.

 

Do PM me if I don't get back to you in 48hrs time.

 

Cheers!

 

Wahhhh....Laoda so good got free helmet. I also want, you got any spare full face that look like the one you wearing one or not.

[normanlai]

actually its allowed, its just "not advisable" for newbies.many reasons they can cook up to tell you.But I'm sure many 2a and class 2 takers are wearing FF even I myself went back to fool around in Defensive riding for fun wore fullfaces with few other friends

hey guys today just heard from one of my riding frens he got FINED $2000 BY the Expressway police the Police car with orange stripe on it,

 

coz he was listening to music on his IPOD while riding, got such thing ah?

[Metalfyre]

wondering sia if hardware store got sell the cap cover? can check for me?

 

$10 also dun wan to spend meh? Better get a replacement cap soon, if your bike peng for some reason all the 2T gonna flow out.

 

theres a reason that these tools are only $2 and if you can find them in a mechanics toolbox I wouldnt be in any hurry to hire him.

 

You're not a mechanic...need Snap-On or Mac tools meh? Use $2 tools good to go liao lo. Unless you are really big sized and have the capability to snap the cheap cast iron. The more expensive tools are simply easier to use (ie somehow the nuts open more easily etc)...but they bengkok just as easily. So not much difference with durability. If a mech has these cheapo tools but still manages to open my nuts without rounding them, I'd be fine with it.

What is the charge? No such thing as 'Caught for listening to Ipod'. Should be kana Inconsiderate riding or wat..if not won't get stopped one.

Hello brother...battery's life is typically 1 year...plus a bit. You use 2 years the battery ki chia nvm...your rectifier might go too. Recommended battery change period is around 1 year. Voltage I forgot.

 

actually its allowed, its just "not advisable" for newbies.many reasons they can cook up to tell you.But I'm sure many 2a and class 2 takers are wearing FF even I myself went back to fool around in Defensive riding for fun wore fullfaces with few other friends

 

Not advisable coz fullface creates a lot of blind spots.

 

I was just telling him to do that for fun..fun ma to push start a bike when you can kick/electric start it..question for you, does push start have any adverse effect on the inner?

 

Not that I know of.

 

It's for leg warm up exercise before you do the push start...

hehehe j/k

 

Serious note;

 

This one a bit technical, better let the guru explain to you....

 

METALFYREEEEEE..........

 

sorry bro...need your expertise on this.

 

Kicking with ignition off cranks the starter motor which cycles the piston, drawing petrol from overflowing carbs so they aren't overflowed no more.

 

Haha yeah metalfyre. They band rocks.

 

Anyway guys just asking, what's the reason for turning the ignition key off and kick starting it?

 

As above.

 

I've yet to see a someone wearing a full face at driving centres.. lol.

 

Anyway to jB and replay, the problem's solved! Finally. I think the carb got overflowed and i had to leave the engine running for awhile. After polluting the mscp with white smoke, it's able to run now. Thanks for the advises again yeah!

 

Next time you see someone driving the center's car and wearing full face is me liao..haha

question for vince, anymore FF for sale?

 

hey guys today just heard from one of my riding frens he got FINED $2000 BY the Expressway police the Police car with orange stripe on it,

woah 2000 is take 20 points from me instead of $2000 I'd prefer

 

Not advisable coz fullface creates a lot of blind spots.

Next time you see someone driving the center's car and wearing full face is me liao..haha

blindspots makes riders check their blindspots more ma but if they're lazy and have small mirrors like me.Then good luck with them being "gangbanged" by cars

 

pls provide 4 other FF for your passengers next time in your car too

[vincekam]

question for vince, anymore FF for sale?

Nope. No more FF after osfar took over the other matt black with ducati sticker/stripe. Wanna consider half cap with goggle?

That's what I used for the phantom and skipper since then.

 

I'll let you know if any helmet catch my attention.

Then, I may offer you my current helmet for the new one.

 

Cheers!

[ylsonny]

[Metalfyre]

i got many swimming goggles...wan?

[jB]

eee not as nice as those half cap tinted ones..blackenese has a cute pair that makes me look like "crazy frog" with it on.

Question for metalfyre from a newbie: when you gonna collect your Pit Shirt?

[ren-ge]

may i ask...when pumping petrol..do I have to turn the fuel knob to reserve or off or on? It's strange, my TA150 is giving me 32km/litre. Way too good.

[jB]

32? don't need to turn the knob

[normanlai]

bro we can recharge the battery ma like car

[Metalfyre]

Question for metalfyre from a newbie: when you gonna collect your Pit Shirt?

 

When we both got time? lol

 

bro we can recharge the battery ma like car

 

bro how long can your battery continue to hold the charge? like all wear and tear parts the battery will degrade...after 1 year you expect the battery to be able to hold charge as well as when it was brand new? And if it can only hold say 3/4 of the charge it used to be able to, it means 1/4 of the direct current converted by the rectifier is not absorbed and is instead returned...which fries the rectifier.

 

if the battery is in good working condition, don't even need to charge the battery 'like car'...u ride around for 20 min fully charged...1-2 weeks later still can start bike. But if your battery runs flat easily, it means it can't hold much charge...that's why less power to draw from it. When your battery flat liao, also means that the current is 0 ampheres. Which means the battery is dead forever...u apply how much voltage also no use...and you may also fry your charger.

 

it's important you know your dinkies from your rice crispies before ever trying something funky, especially if it's meant to save just a few dollars.

[ren-ge]

will there be a phantom gathering..perhaps i can get some pointers from the lao jiao riders on how to go about maintaining my bike and some tips.

[jB]

thats a good question, keep track to the phantom threads for upcoming happenings and meetups dude.

[queirtus]

When we both got time? lol

Battery life can be extended if u regularly charges your battery to get it to work efficiently....... mine is in its 3rd year already ... I do charge her once every 2 months...... btw riding ard for 20-30 mins jus to charge the battery is not a good idea................
