[General] Chit Chat Corner

[jtzx]

if we meet going up north for F.N.O, we can have a test. in a safe way of cos.

 

the only thing i feel TA200 is better than TA150 is it's much better FC.

 

Lol of course TA150 will beat a TA200, hands down! 2S engine design is just so much lighter than our 4S which requires heavy flywheel/counterweight to run smoothly. They also generate power with every piston stroke, unlike our TA200s.

 

In terms of ownership indeed 4S will give better FC (tho this depends on the rider too) and will not need 2T.

 

Performance wise, TA150 is the way to go for high speed cruising. But people like to stare when they hear the sound of the 200, even if they must be familiar of our small and very common Honda cruisers.

 

And I did partly pick the 200cc model for the sound and other "special" effects

 

In everyday terms, Phantom is a Phantom and all are cool If you ever want to "test" your bikes then join us in the Apr 3 LCK rally. Plenty of roadways to test full-power acceleration and braking. Brake early for the tighter stretches at Neo Tiew though, as we don't have the "flickability" of street or sport bikes.

 

 

 

It was a good demonstration that revving away at the red light impatiently and then failing to decisively accelerate when it does turn green, gets one nowhere hehe

 

so this FNO on? crap i cant go for tmr trip;-( got practical 3 tmr.. unless go in morning come back around 2pm lorhz

That's more like SNO - rally on 3 Apr is a Sat. But if you want to join me for a 2-bike run just for the hell of it anytime, let me know.

 

It has to be at night, of course :3

 

Btw, check out Sleeping Sun by Tarja.

cannot unlock seat = cannot disassemble tail section = cannot dismantle lock = shingz

 

I have been at ah chong's numerous times these few days... 3 times today in fact... he solved one grinding sound mystery of mine... phew... for a moment I thought I have destroyed my own engine...

 

he is very busy these few days as he is understaffed... he told me to come back in a few days' time...

 

as for tml... dun think I would leave my house... I need to study...

 

 

 

err nothing related to the quote but, kalyan, do you listen to nightwish...?

 

 

 

today rode for another 100km... the final stage of the run-in is coming to an end... I guess I would be carrying my oil filter from now onwards to get ready for the great oil change... can't wait to start using fully synthetic oils again!

hmmm.. nightwish.. the metal band?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

hmmm.. nightwish.. the metal band?

 

 

Yep, my favourite accompaniment through my rat biking days!

[VidaK]

hmmm.. nightwish.. the metal band?

 

yea... mainly symphonic metal...

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Just came back from a midnight makan outing with an awesome SV-650 rider

 

If you ever are tempted to makan at Holland V in the wee hours and park at the coffeeshop, you have to break some traffic rules to get out of there without incurring parking fees. EPS gantries blocking the only legal exit route. Evil.

I have seen the lock picker that ah chong told me to see... but they couldn't move the remainder of the key at all... see how... need to find some time for ah chong to grand theft auto my bike...

[Jayc]

Yo Vic, looks like you'll have to use a drill bit to drill into the lock cylinder..

 

The broken piece is recess in the keyhole? or got slight bit sticking out?
