[ylsonny]

sure RABBIT burger!!!!!

[noobike]

I remembered vaguely that rabbits taste horrible. Or maybe its the way they were cooked. Very heavy smell, heavier than mutton without spices. btw I had roasted rabbit. The best tasting game meat I had so far is flying squirrel. Especially their raw meat. Got the chance to eat it in taiwan.

[ylsonny]

Flying Squirrel!!!!!

[TheYasMan]

Lamee got rabbit burger? Sure or not.... Doubt so leh.... I wont go in with you guys this week, but if you can grab hold of it, buy for me 5 can? I pay you at Singapore rate.

 

Noobike, flying squirrel? Too exotic liao that one... But mustve been tough eating those cute Alvin and chipmunks.

[jB]

not sure, have to get Vince to verify this.I only "heard" it the other time..could have..

[kmax]

i was thinking.. does it worth to accessorize phantoms ?

 

when i started riding, the bigger fenders are really hot, eye catcher indeed, only a handful bikes have them on.

now seems like every one likes to have them on and it becomes no more unique customization, just off-the-shelf accessory, plug-n-play type.

and same goes for other accessories..

 

 

and does it worth to get it modified? becoz all riders will upgrade eventually, i havent seen anyone riding till COE ends.

quite sad to put them sale and no one to appreciate..

Well, think of it in another way…

Lets say you sell your phantom, buy a 2A bike, are you gonna mod/accessorize to make it unique and look good? Chances are you will not ride it till it COE expires & you scrap it.

 

Next level, get a Class 2 bike. Same question, are you gonna mod/accessorize it to make it unique & look good? Chances are also you will change bikes after getting tired of it and want a change of riding experience.

 

If riding is more than just commuting A-B for you, chances are that you will itch to dress up your bike with cosmetic / performance parts. How long you keep the bike is inconsequential coz almost everyone wants a good looking bike. Unless you are really tight on finances, it is tough not to spend some spare cash on dressing up your bike.

 

Ultimately, whether its worth it is an individual choice.

 

I agree that making a Phantom stand out now is much tougher due to the readily available P&A’s. I had a hard time finding the fenders & headlight for my TA previously. Now, the mod club has grown tremendously. For most, plug & play P&A are the only option due to lack of skills/resources to do true blue customization. Not to mention the legal implications of such mods.

 

 

Lastly,

Am I gonna dress up my Sportster? Yes (subject to cost considerations )

Am I gonna ride it till I have to scrap it? Highly unlikely

Will I get another bike after I get tired of the Sporty? Yes

Will I dress up my next bike? HELL YES!

There are many types of fenders bro, but obviously only one type is common and perhaps that's why it gets boring.

 

Take Vespas for example. Say there are 1000, at least half are accessorized by the younger generation people. Ratio's not the same for the Phantom; there are far less people accessorizing them, but maybe you know many of them who do, that's why.

In fact where do other bikes get their accessories? Mostly off-the-shelves too, isnt it?

 

Ask someone who owns a CD185 or any oldschool cafe racers.

Is it worth it?

Only if you appreciate it
