Yes, it is an interesting place. Culturally very rich with great Indian food, but you need a strong stomach. Also plenty of poverty, it's an eye opener if you've never been there.

 

You will also see plenty of classic looking bikes and cars, in particular the Royal Enfield Bullet and the Morris Oxford.

nope the mileage earned can be rolled over but u must clock a certain level within a year to go to the next tier....like tat i would hv been PPS liao hehe

hmmm like that means if i can reach the next tier within a year, I don't have to go back to the normal blue krisflyer status right? So it also means I will start next year status with Silver Kris and start accumulate?

yup, u need to accumulate ur mileage up to Silver level and continue fr there. if u dun clock enuf, u will be downgraded to Basic again.

 

If you want to increase points to ur mileage, find out fr the Krisflyer website some of the partners - cards and hotels and even car rentals which you can also convert ur expenditure to kris flyer points.

Cauz auntie lass! you damn well travelled can?

 

what industry do you work in? curious to know...

 

anyway hor, yesterday I rode my bike after a mini downpour and it was damn shitty man. All the dirt and grime came flying everywhere. Now my bike looks like a mess. Can I just check with you, can I just use a hose to spray everything inside? esp. one silver metal part just underneath the seat and beside the rear wheel? cos' i can't reach it! And are there certain parts which I can't spray?

 

One more question, when do I need to chain my wax... err i mean wax my chain? It has been 340km since I started riding. Any advice?

 

thanks!

honestly if they tell me i dun need to travel, i will be v happy. me in the conference organising job and we do events mostly across Asia. The long haul ones r usually competitive shows.

 

spraying tat metal bit shd be ok cos i think it is just part of the main frame structure. it's the most diff to reach. am not so sure abt direct water jets at the other parts. i usually just splash water generally all over my bike after applying the carwash.

 

waxing ur chain...hmm last time i used to do it like once a wk or 1½ week when the chain looks 'dried out' now am on scottoiler so i dun hv to worry abt spraying the chan anymore.

[keiyong]

My job is to travel, but I got no points and am at your service.

 

Yes, I have not installed anything on the bike as I am a freak for original condition. Just pray don't drop lor..

 

About washing, motorcycles are built to withstand all kinds of weather so as long as seat is left on, I spray water everywhere and wash all exposed parts. The trailing arms and areas around the rear wheel are then polished after I dried the bike as they accumulate a lot of grease from the chain.

 

According to the owner's manual, the chain needs to be lubricated "every 1000 km or sooner if chain appears dry".It also says our chains are O-ring type and so we should NOT use solvents, high pressure washer or steam clean. Recommended to lubricate only with SAE 80 or 90 gear oil.

 

What industry you in Khoo?

 

Auntie Lass,

Not bad, at least you still wash your own bike, thought poor hubby will have the "pleasure" of washing for you.I can imagine how hubby feels cos I also cannot stand to see dirty bikes. The other day I saw a BolDor parked near Scotts and felt so sad cos it was covered in dirt.

[Lass]

Uncle keiyong hehe... but i think at least the crash guard and suspension guard are basic necessities though

my hubby ah, he was washing his own bike as well and i nv had the pleasure of him washing it for me....he will say that i am lazy and yup tat's v true hehe. black color v hard to maintain and even the smallest speck of dust is so obvious. doesn't help when my office doesn't hv a sheltered carpark.

Ya, I agree with you but still thinking about it. For peace of mind I should at least start with the suspension guards. Is this thingy easily removed and installed? Where can I get it ?

Uncle keiyong, you speak in riddles which I find it hard to comprehend. So what are you working as? mind sharing?

 

Anyways, I work in the engineering plastics line...
