Ever thought of swapping with Kmax, Kiamh?

 

Ham ham, Kmax S4 you can consider liao...hahaha

 

S4? not keen leh. I think a kupkia will do, can save lots of $$$

Anyway, my Sportster is already giving me comparable FC to a VTEC S4. Only servicing & parts slightly more ex nia

 

super4 is good for local riding.. and adequate for touring..

 

just lact of "WoW" factor as common bike.. i

 

but ofcuz cant compare to sportster for "bling" nor economy for kupkia.

[kmax]

No 4 wheels for me for sure, I think cars are a financial trap in Singapore. Buy a car so I can get stuck comfortably in a jam? No thanks. I'd rather sweat it out lane splitting. Have a family? Taking a taxi gives me the same convenience without the commitment & headache.

 

Thinking of downgrading. Just exploring some financial endeavors now & I'm starting to think the Harley is an extravagance I can live without. I'm reluctant to let it go for sure (hence the half-hearted attempts to sell), but sacrifices are needed to achieve other goals in life.

 

I've fulfilled my biking dreams, now is to move on to other more lasting investments. Hoping to start a family soon as well.

 

Having said all that, I'm getting old.

 

well... if u like ur bike... hold on to it...

 

i am having deep thoughts over taking out big chunk of cash for bigger ride while super4 gives me problem free, installment free bike..

[BlackDawn]

Nobody offer then I keep lor... hahahah

Yeah, there are always better ways to spend $$, one of the main reasons I'm considering downgrading. That said, live your dreams while you are young. The longer you wait, the less likely its gonna happen.

hoi... u where got old?

heheheh... small mr & mrs kiamh on the way too?

 

Nonsense about age.....

 

Given a choice for a smaller cc bike, it'll definitely be fire-breathing 2 strokers. Wahahahaha...

 

I hear a RD350 and a RS250......

 

wah... tiong....

really dwn grade to a kup?

why not get back a TA?

In terms of stability, comfort & speed... minus the crazy mod of cos...

 

Ditch the woman?

It's easier to say than being done.

I also want to ditch my woman and ride the bike.

 

But... I cannot ditch my woman because I will not be successful if she don't advise me. But, I am glad I managed to balance up to have both my woman and bike.

 

Cheers!

 

hehehh... lauda, sometimes, different chapter, different stories, cannot compare...

[hamsterwhale]

hehehe my 2A bike shall not be an S4....gonna be something else...now looking at widely available options...went down to ASphoon Ubi, dun have my bike...

went down Loois, saw one for sale mileage 18K FBB plate 11K OTR 1st hand 16K OTR...

Albert motor got one FBA mileage unknown, but then it was sold for 8K...then yet to go BP to ask about 1st hand price...

 

riding is my passion....at times it is my alter ego , getting on a bike, can make me forget about my troubles, and ferry me across lands i've yet to explore, with the winds charging at me all around my body, with bugs thrown in as a nature's way of complimenting me...down bikers or blue signboards is only a way telling myself that i am still a human....and anything can happen to me....

 

so where do we fit in the partners/wife/gf in this sentence???

Although my gf complained about painful butt while on a short long distance trip...the moment she got down from bike she was cursing and swearing, but when shopping and eating is around, that'll turn her mood around and make her smile...

 

so i guess the alter-ego part also applies to ladies too huh....

 

aiya....where is my beer....AH DI AH!!!!

 

TIGER CHIK KIH!!!!!

[vincekam]

You better train your woman to like what you ride and make sure she's gonna be sharing the same interest with you in the ride as much as how you ride her.

it's good to have deep thoughts when you dun have a deep pocket.

[afiQ]

ya thats why so far my 2 rides were approved by her, initially wanted to get scram as my 2b ride, but then she dun like because of the style and the height, that was why i chose a Phantom, not forgetting the no. plate that was close to her birthdate too....

 

but then again, i tried the DRZ 400sm with her as pillion, trying my best to brainwash her....she still dun like the ride lah....hence i'll keep to my tried and proven straight up riding posture with a backrest for the pillion...hahaha

 

ride what?ride who??ride me???aiyo boss here still got alot haven 21 leh...hehehe

[kmax]

well... new bike would set me back for 10k plus while i can get OPC for 18~20k

 

now gold shares are going at 87~ish ... with 10k, i can do other things.. (but do i need other things ?? or do i need a bike ?? )

[kmax]

hamster... this might interest u..

i have a fx xjr400r selling at 3.9k

[BlackDawn]

well... new bike would set me back for 10k plus while i can get OPC for 18~20k

Yeah, that's looking at the PRICE, but which one will actually add more VALUE to your life?

Precisely my predicament now, opportunity cost.

Not ruling out a TA, but probably not. A bulletproof kup sounds mighty appealing to me. Aiyah, I'm basically talking bullcrap until a buyer comes along & convinces me to sell

Yes, I am hoping to hear the pitter patter of little feet in the house soon...

my front brake getting spongier and spongier... the brake fluid reservoir is still filled... the brake pad still thick... asked some other riders around they said probably my brake hose expanded already...

 

well... either way I think its a sooner or later thing... any idea what kind of brake hose should I get and where should I get them...?

A couple of reasons:

1. Air in yr brake hose

2. Your brake hose getting a bit too elastic.

 

It is likely to be air in yr brake lines and a simple bleeding should resolve it.

But if you want to change yr brake lines can go for steel braided ones like HEL. Can go the advertisers board to see which shop got do. Should have a few but I so far only know MotoWorld and Unique Motors.

[SNapEl]

Wah i didn't know GSR got chassis issue... btw its in Italian.
