cephelix>> can post pic of ur scoot when u get it.. ride safe man... its been raining and raining lately

 

for the date of meetup..i'm ok as long as its still early in the year =)

[-ResiDue-]

yeah..2007..then 6mnths to ORD!

will do machine k...

but if i'm not mistaken, it should be all black...

nothing glamourous....

qn > if the IU has been fixed to the nose of the bike, is it possible to cover up the holes left by the bracket?Or is it typically just fastened on without having to drill?

 

yup yup,the weather these days has been unfriendly to bikers....

tommorrow must choing buy helmet n raincoat/paints/shoes/gloves probably.

any recommended place?

kos probably gonna get a helmet from LAB.

somewhere near?regina maybe?

Compliments of the Season to All Scooterists...

 

Stay Cool & Ride Safe People!

 

Cheers

[machine k]

at the nose? if you wan to putty up that hole, probably need a new paintwork as well, otherwise you'll have a see-through nose.

 

and i think you should get the raincoat before you get the bike, i foresee it will be raining when you collect your bike. stupid weather

ur's a px nose? anyway it is possible. i've done it. best to use epoxy to cover up. try use those A + B kind... u can sand tt off rather easily.

 

LAB's best choice for raincoat. cheapest tt is.

[-ResiDue-]

raincoat i have the army goretex....is that sufficient?

rain pants i think my brother has a pair of those + rain shoes....

or are they called shoe covers....??

and the weather has been sucky today..

 

hmmm...

epoxy..??

paintjob??

guess i'll be leaving the IU at the nose for the time being....

probably get tyres & servicing done first....

what do you guys think?

any suggestions on what needs to be done?

looking to improve the safety aspects of the bike....

[Sharpey]

Hi All... greeti ngs from sunny Penang....

 

Just had to get away from the rain for a while!!!

 

Am cool with a meetup in mid Jan... would like to wait to see Gweester's scoot finished

 

 

cephelix... when you chane tyres, go for modern ones like bridgestone hoops, or battalax... they grip[ much better than the ones with the classic tread design and feel soooo much more stable in corners.

 

Was it you who was interested in parts from claussstudios.com??? If so, they're worth every single cent.

[planescape]

Hehe be seeing Rae n KK in school then~ Sianz... holidays coming to an end >_

 

Then we shall probably set the tentative date for a gathering on 12 Jan 2007, a Friday yeah! Gwee! Keep us posted on the progress of ur scoot~

 

 

 

[Gweester]

wow!!! Sharpey!!! you are on holis in penang?? Sweet getaway huh???

Penang laksa, penang kway teow......lovely!!

As for my scoots, hope that it will be ready before the meetup.....

 

cephelix, i second what machinek says....get the raincoat first before you go get your scoots....as for helmet, there are heaps around...take your time...you would probably get a couple (heehee...i've got like 4 helmets for scoots....ahhahaha)

BTW where are you gonna get your scoots? bike shop or private owner??

if from private owner, go get your scoots checked and probably do a basic service (brake pads, spark plugs, clutch cable, etc) to get it started....for tires....i would think the battlax ones are one for the best around for grips...

[Gweester]

BTW machine_k, are you using the "tong" copper exhaust?

[machine k]

nah, its not tong...but ever since i got back my scoot, it feels a bit different... seems to be growling instead of put-put-put... and the vibration seems to be stronger...or maybe i haven't rode in a long time.. haha

[-ResiDue-]

hey guys.....

getting scoot now.......

from my brother.......he's the previous owner of the scoot...

he's upgrading to a haya...

n yea sharpey, it was me who was interested in things from clauss studios....

well, gotta go get my bike guys...

wish me luck

[Gweester]

machine_k,

cos from the look it seems like a copper exhaust but just chrome...

seems weird? you need to clear carbon liao....give it a good ride when it is not raining....rev it up man!!!

juz curious...how exactly do you determine when it's time to clear carbon? vibrations like wat machine_k experienced?

[reddy]

when u dont feel the power anymore and maybe the vibration too... u will just feel the loss of power and then its time for servicing
