I was thinking more like the MRT train operator! haahaha... joking...

maybe he is the pilot or the captain of the plane !

 

You guys have narrowed down my profession... MRT train operator also pilot and SBS driver also Captain.

 

sit in front of metal tube means... ???

 

An airplane is essentially a metal tube with wings hurling through the sky at about 1000kph

bol d'or literally means gold bowl.

 

in motorcycle fraternity, it's an endurance race over 24 hrs. it is held at magny-cours in france in sept (used to be held at castelle). the bol d'or race has a long history and honda has a long association with it.

 

this new bol d'or is a throwback to the old honda bol d'or design. but, it is not the same bike honda used to race in the bol d'or anymore.

 

for more info, try http://www.boldor.com (you might want to learn how to read french first)

Thanks for the history and French lesson. Maybe you can be our french teacher cos most of us cannot even pronounce the words!

Wah, like that problem man...looks like you probably thinking of something in the 600 cc range, but honestly if so I feel should go to at least 900-1 liter. Personally I am resisting that temptation as my right wrist not disciplined enough...ride 400 smell smoke never mind, if ride larger capacity bike then cannot smell smoke

think VFR 800 will pretty much fit my bill... but still considering... cos just added a full system to my spec III... kekeke...

it's an auto lub mechanism tat u can fix at moto world cost about 170 i think. single or dual jets dripping lub on ur chain. single jet is sufficient. can last for abt 1 yr i think

 

________

 

kennthy most companies hv benefits of allowing their staff to travel biz if the trip is more than 6 hrs but not ours. we travel pretty often (min of 3 person at the same time for events) and usually up to 6 or more hours so they will pok kia hehe

 

am doing finance conferences

most of the time can charge to the customer what... kekeke...

 

i find that the ang mos are better when it comes to the benefits... i used to work for the gov... and under the policy, most people will take econ no matter how long is the trip... only the real big shots get business...

i went down to have my bike installed with belly pan and rear huggers. was quoted 110 after much bargaining. however, it still seem expensive when all i am paying is plastic parts! and i'm in the frigging plastics business and i know how dirt cheap this sh*t is!!!!

 

anyways i heard that scottoiler is very dirty and messy one. how true is that auntie lass?

 

where is the brake hose? why u wanna change? pls enlighten me also? thanks!

can be a lil dirty but if u r not able to spray properly using conventional chain lub, it can be a messy affair as well.

 

i hv the brake hose w me right now and it has been customised in the UK and my friend is bringing in the brand to sg. so he's testing it on my bike 1st. changing brake hose is supposely to better ur braking of the bike. my hubby was the one tat suggested that i change my brake hose cos he felt the stock ones r kinda spongy when he rode it.

changed to yoshi full system.

 

power is there... even at 140 and with my gf as pillion, open throttle can still feel the pull backwards...

 

even pickup at 170 still strong... not like with stock... above 160 the acceleration will be quite slow...

 

no problem with LTA cos motorworld will issue a letter and you go vicom for inspection and certification.
