[GerardSantaCruz]

yes. i would like to see a triumph group on the day.

throttle, you removing your cargo net for this event?

[rishi3285]

Well u still can get the new triumphs at Mah Motors. I have seen a few FBA plates on the road. But I am interested in the vintage ones that are available in S'pore like the 50s - 60s T100, 50s T21, 60s bonneville and 40s Speed Twin. The owners of these bikes rarely ride their bikes and when they do everyone would be looking at their bikes. These are e bikes that should be riden u know what i mean. If these bikes come to BikeFest, Harley confirm no one look at them. It always happen when i ride my BSA.

you going BikeFest with your AJS..?

[Throttle]

Yo ChowYunfatt,

 

I think I'm committed to go with the Classic Retro Bike group lead by Marco for this BBF.

Actually, only entrance A, D and E will be closed. You could drive in thru Republic Boulevard and enter into Tower 4 car park.

thanks, yes i do know that, some electronic pamphlet regarding the closure was circulated in the office with maps and explanations etc..., but it is simply too troublesome for me to go a big round knowing full well that everyone else will be doing that and choking up those exits/entrances.

 

moreover, i dont park at suntec itself since giving up season parking due to too much travelling. I park at marina nowadays.

 

good thing is that i'll be out of singapore anyway for most part of it.

[Throttle]

i'm not a drinker and i dislike vodka (even if it may be orange) lah. i'm a wuss, i like sweet alcholic drinks eg. Sheridans, Cherry brandy, Kahlua, Midori, Creme de Bananas, Lychee Liquer......

[rishi3285]

I called you be no one picked up.

 

anyway, Thunderbird very difficult to find, but there is an angmoh guy selling.

His name is Richard. Perhaps you can check the "bikes for sale" section for his number. I threw it away, sorry. I understand he is looking for quite a high price.

 

Perhaps your friend can consider a Thunderbird Sport which is available from Mah.

It's a 2003 bike brand new and unregistered , I think.

 

Cheers

throttle, u sure they have a sport, just called and they said they do not have one.

i think you can order from Mah.. Get them to import for you!

[Throttle]

I recall seeing the TB sport. Maybe I saw wrongly. It's displayed on the 2nd floor or third floor at the triumph corner. The same floor where customers pay instalments. Maybe it's not for sale but I would think why not?

[Blackie21]

out of production and no NOS in UK, the last time i checked!

self import is really painful

[Throttle]

self import is madness, the papers and regulations, physical inspection etc....our systems simply doesnt support individuals bringing in their own vehicles. our system is way too constipated in such areas
