riding to the land between the thighs

by the way, southern thailand and specifically Hat Yai, anyone know any descent bike shops there that sells bike apparels?

im going down there in the coming week hopefully be able to get some input here for any bike shops so can kill 2 birds with 1 stone

haha nice price but none of that i like

applicable to those working overseas.. like myself and bro monaz

u know what, im not sure whether to bring back a superbike, or a supercar

to be honest, i fancy superbike more now at least its still within my affordability range like my dream S1000RR which cost around US$15k here, bring it back to malaysia with 10% import tax (can anyone confirm this figure?) and free AP + shipping let's say US$18k-US$20k ~ RM60k.. still worth comparing to malaysia >RM100k

and if i would bring back a car, it would be the Cadillac Escalade quite rare in msia i suppose... never seen one in malaysia but my place was flooded with escalades.. not a supercar but i like SUVs

yeah man... if the S1000RR definitely will get taxed higher.. lowest also the 2010 model..

if i would bring back a S1000RR, it will definitely for personal use at least for a few years? haahha... unless butt itchy looking for upgrades..

but i believe any bikes that u bring in, as long as AP is free.. it would definitely be a few 10k cheaper then u buy in malaysia.. so still worth it

cant do name transfer for 5 years? i tot it was 2 years?

yes truly.. never ever buy a helmet online unless u had personally tried an actual one on..

for my case, ordered a Shoei helmet from STG, anxiously waiting it for one month and when it reaches my hand.. put it on.. DAMN!! too tight.. i fit well on most L size helmet and my head circumference measured at 59cm which falls on size L. its not only the head circumference that u need to consider when getting a helmet, diff ppl diff head size and we'r saying round-oval or long-oval and bla bla bla.. diff helmet offers different compatibility to head sizes.

im in your shoes as well because of where im residing, hardly any descent shops to try on helmets.. thus i gambled on my Shoei at first and i lose.. gambled on another Xlite and bingo next, i dont want to gamble on my suits anymore going back next week to msia and get me fully geared

however, u can refer to this website where i find it quite useful when u'r researching for helmets:

http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-hel...lmet-shapes.htm

get a rough idea of it.. but best is still try it on personally.

take it easy bro.. actually for sizing, u can always contact DC Bikers. he can advise u pretty good and just in case u didnt get the right size, he's always open for return.. quite good customer service i can say.. only downside is that he's always out of stock, either color or sizes.. let me guess, he must have really good business

u can check out Rika Bikeshop, she trades in fb too.. a bit more expensive than DC, as in really a bit only.. maybe RM50 or so depending on items, some items only few RM different.. good customer service too

i normally do comparison between DC and Rika.. both very competitive..

competition is good for consumers.. i personally rate Rika Bikeshop as the better customer service as she attend to ur questions very fast and willing to do COD within klang valley area even though she stays in nilai ..

DC a bit slow but his price is the most competitive one and for those located outside Penang, only postage but his postage is fast

excuse myself for lack of technical knowledge on bikes.. still learning

just wanna check.. let's say u mod ur exhaust system to a slip-on aftermarket exhaust like Two-Brothers, so what i understand is due to that when u change ur exhaust to an aftermarket slip on especially those good ones like two brothers, akrapovic, yoshimura and so on.. it will tend to increase ur horsepower by 1 or 2hp more..

is it actually necessary to map ur bike with a power commander so as that ur bike will allow smoother fuel adjustment and maximise the use of ur newly slipped on exhaust system?

or is it advisable to install a power commander for it?

pls advise, thinking of replacing my current leo-vince slip on which is already attached when i got my bike with probably a two-brothers

im not too sure whether my current LV is the SBK series or not.. it does sounds good, but a lil bit too quiet for an aftermarket exhaust

LOUD PIPES SAVES LIVES

what do u mean by checking the bike system? whether how digital is it?

header means the one that usually comes with the full system? any markets out there actually selling headers only? hahaha.. darn u make me itchy wanna try full system.. but one thing im worried about here is that the competency of the mechanics here.. in which how competent are they to actually mod a full system on my bike, and map my bike on a dynojet PC

maybe can get my contacts from thailand and get them mod it for me or just drive down to the nearest cambodia-thailand border (cant rmb which border my thai fren is located at d )

Akra.. every bikers dream exhaust i could say haha.. its nice to own one too but saw it online only a Akra slip on cost about US$700++ full system akra US$2000++ holy mother of god!!

on fuel consumption, after u install slip-on, it does affect the FC, thus the PC is best to be paired and it can helps improving the FC coz u get to do some fuel adjustment on the PC.. correct me if im wrong

oh never know that PC is so easy to map haha.. problem is with the competency in installing full system.. i dont wanna risk my bike blowing up half way the downside here in cambodia is that lack of professional mechanics.. whoever has friend that is bike savvy can consider coming here to set up a professional workshop number of sportsbike and harleys are growing here.. although not as much as msia but can see the increasing numbers of big bikes here..

maybe i shud check whether my silencer is removed or not will get the full system is butt itchy..

by the way bro monaz, for the header, is it necessary that i get back a LV header to pair it with my LV slip-on?

haha i think its quite hard if just looking to buy a LV header for my 2004 CBR1000RR rite?

afraid that end up hv to buy the usual full system package which includes the exhaust and sell off my current LV slip on..

really hv no idea what is needed to install a full system

anyone tried before carrying ur full face helmet inside a bagpack and carried it onto a plane? will they actually allow helmet inside a plane? wanna bring back my Shoei and sell haha..

awww thanks man! need this info as im flying airasia as well

haha i also no idea which i fit in, same as lucifah, city/urban traffic use.. which should we select?

i think we should select sports-> from track to street.. the Battlax series.
