SBF Classic Vespa's Cafe 2009 / 2010

[-ResiDue-]

will do old timers!!!

 

waiting for the weather to clear up...

getting sick of all the rain already....

cold, tired and everything else that makes rain miserable.....

[machine k]

haha i was like u, cephelix.. n i dun ever believe i'm getting the best price... and my constant bargaining sometimes gets on the nerves of AJ or the TA auntie...

 

i remember once i asked for 2 nuts for my scoot from TA.. then the auntie ask me to pay $1-something..then i was like.."auntie... like that also want to charge? scared i won't come back again ah..."

 

eventually she let me off without paying for it..but its like $1+...i think the total 'discount' i got from TA is about $6-10?

[-ResiDue-]

oooo...

ahahahaha....

haizzz...

learning process....

in the process of seeing which mechanic to permanently service my scoot....

maybe next servicing i go back to soon motors....

[machine k]

fluffpuff>> i think i saw ur bike at AJ before, if its the one in ur avatar.

 

sharpey>> can't say AJ overcharges every time lah, might offend those old-timers at his place. Different shops have different system in conducting their business.

 

But yes, don't trust your mechanic too much. They are afterall running a business and their aim is to make profit. But they won't go overboard too, since we're his source of income... its a bit of give and take

[fluffpuff]

haha "like that also want to charge". i should try that on ah joo haha

[fluffpuff]

machine_k - yep it's the one in my avatar. haha it's not surprising you saw my bike at ah joo's place considering i used to park at his place

[-ResiDue-]

ahahaha..

ouh, AJ has a nice IU bracket that mounts on the inside of your leg guard....

wondering how much

[machine k]

oh..AJ gave me a total 'discount' of about $36++ so far...

 

then again...we will never know which part was jacked up 1st before bringing it down. Singapore way of business. Cos we all like to bargain..force the shops to jack the price up

[-ResiDue-]

ahahahaha...

yeah....

machine k > your scoot, the nose is it original?or did you change?fiber? weld or screw on?

[machine k]

cephelix> i have a nice portable IU that i mount on my pillion's hand when i go thru erp gantry. haha... can secure somewhere tho... but IU's ugly

[-ResiDue-]

ahahahaha....

pillion's hand...

yeah...

i know!..

but someone told me LTA coming up with a smaller unit....

dunno whether true or now...

but at least if it's on the inner side of the leg guard, not as ugly as if mount on the nose,handlebar or speedo side...

[machine k]

fluffpuff>> urs is the very completely entirely white vespa right? nice one~

 

cephelix>> its welded on. Something Sharpey wouldn't approve of

[machine k]

its true LTA coming up with a newer smaller IU...

 

pay for it loh

[-ResiDue-]

ahahaha...

yeah..sharpey is wholistically classic....

welded eh??...

thinking of doing that also [bUT NOT ANYTIME SOON!for those you are scared that i'll splurge on unnecessary items]

but i guess mine would have to be scrwed on kos of all the wiring...

 

what's the cost of doing it?

[fluffpuff]

machine_k - mine's completely white yea, with a brown seat (now covered with a leopard print fur seat cover) and a vespa word badge on the front legshield that has pink crystals stuck on. i have pink crystals stuck on my mudflap too but not too many people notice that. AT plate.

[machine k]

cephelix>> $98~ plus new coat of paint after u weld it on..haha

 

fluffpuff>> leopard print fur seat cover~?!?!! that's... kinky..

[-ResiDue-]

kinky?!

ahahahahaha...

thinking of cheap motels....

 

fur?wont it be troublesome if it gets wet??

pink crystals?from swarovski issit?

[fluffpuff]

ho ho!! really?! ehh you are the first one who thinks so la. everyone else thinks it's cute and for those who know me better, KNOW it's very me. for whatever reason, only they know haha

[planescape]

then next Fri 19 Jan will be good.

Violent objections from anyone?

Same time same place then?

 

rae > Well i will try to USE me front brake more often..... but jerky. even more Scary to use it on rainy days u noe *LOL*

[fluffpuff]

cephelix - ya loh if the fur cover gets wet, my pants do too la. i secure it with ribbons under the seat itself but it's kinda troublesome untying the cover cos i tied dead knots, then cut off excess ribbon so it's gonna be a terror retying it in future again. it's ok. it's a minor inconvenience for the aesthetic purpose it serves i bought cheapo plastic crystals for my DIY artwork haha no money to buy Swarovski crystals leh

[-ResiDue-]

ahahahaha...

lah,thought swarovski cystals...

a good know would be fisherman's know....

right over left, left over right...

go google it n u can see illustrations..easy to tie n untie...

[fluffpuff]

haha dohh i tied my dead knots and cut off the excess ribbons already ahha oh well thanks for the tip! will bear it in mind the next time i have similiar projects

[-ResiDue-]

no problemo...

not going anywhere?

[Sharpey]

machine k.... guess I'm a traditionalist

 

If your front brake is sticking... you should get it looked at... it should be fixed if it's jerky....

[-ResiDue-]

yeah yeah...sharpey old skool
