at first agreed with 33k

but give RM300 discount because standard exhaust threw away already haha

Guys do you have any recommended driving schools around shah alam or pj area? I'm going to metro now but they overbook the sessions and they only have 2 bikes. Imagine like 10 people using 2 bikes only. I can't properly learn there since I have very limited time using the bike and I don't want to buy my own bike to practice on my own since I am aiming for a vulcan s.

which branch? last time i went to metro as well.

weekend classes hv to queue to use the bikes.

The one at kampung subang. I can still stand if it was 4 or 5 people but 10 just ruffles my jimmies.

my experience taking b full license.

went for the lessons 4 times, the 5th times is the jpj test. if you got time, you can complete 3 lessons in a week. I took 4 weeks to complete (1 lesson per week).

the jpj test was a joke..from 0-10 of difficulty level, i'd rate it at 0.5. They don't bother to check all the steps i've memorised..once the bridge crossing is finished you basically got your license dy (i don't think the cones, 8 figure, and sharp corners pose any threat)

good luck in spending 1k for that piece of plastic card

my tips. go there early. 8.30-8.45am you can ride already..i'm always the first one to ride the bike everytime i went there. pusing the circuit for 3-4 times (10-15 min) and i ask the tutor to sign my card and I'm heading home while all the other students are queuing for their turn.

well that depends on the jpj officer. mine last time were quite rigid and strict as well. every steps count.

got few candidates fail bridge, they simply told to get off the bike, go home & see u next week.

Try another one near the Amcorp mall. NEar JAya LRT station.

Good luck.

Yesss RJ is the legend. Love watching his videos, love his attitude on the roads too. Dude always has some interesting stuff to show like that 'quickshifter' on his Grom recently.


I need recommendations for rain gear; got a ride to Thailand this weekend. Looking for a basic suit (jacket and pants) that's packable into a small space. What rain gear do you guys normally use? I've seen some RM100 'Arai' (and other brands - probably fake) rain jacket and pants sets from Mudah but not sure if those will last. Are waterproof glove and boot covers worthwhile as well?

For your trip, just get any rain gear that fits ( best get one size larger so that can go over your riding gear ). It will flap but you cant go fast anyway in the rain.
Gloves and boot covers are optional. Gloves I take off before it rains. Boots I will transform to slippers. These two I try not to get them wet as its so hard to dry, especially if your trip is non stop ride. If there is a break then can dry with air con.....yeeaaahhhhh.....dont forget to bring deodarant. Sometimes drying things can be smelly...LOL...have fun for your ride.. stay safe....

Kovix is the lock i bought, if u wan buy pm me i give u detail

Alarm + disc lock

Thanks for the good tips If I have space I might bring my old motocross gloves too, to wear in the rain. They're fabric so quick-drying, plus I've been riding with gloves for so long now that not wearing gloves feel weird lol. See if I got space for slippers too. Yeah riding in wet boots is *not* fun haha.

Won't be able to get it in time for the trip but I'm now thinking of getting one of these RS Taichi hoodies. Waterproof and has armor, looks like a nice easy commuting jacket, especially since it's starting to rain every day in Penang now.

Hi, yes please any info would be nice, was planning the budget before venture myself a bike ( its been a while since the last time i ride )

on the other hand, moped can get away with box for extra luggage. what did u guys do when its raining and all? i mean where did u guys put the stuff like slippers and etc? all inside the bag?

Yup, backpack. Not much storage options on sportbikes and bikes of similar style nowadays. A waterproof backpack is one of the best things you can invest in IMO. You can also try a tank bag which sits on the fuel tank.

I kinda miss the older sportbikes with big butts at least they had a bit more onboard storage space. I've heard claims that the Hayabusa's huge rear hump is big enough to fit a six-pack of beer lol.

u need a slightly a bigger backpack..waterproof or hardshell is a bonus.

i think most specialized motor shops got sell..

I bought kovix kd06, with alarm one.

U can google straight kd06 or youtube can see.

U pm me later i give u seller number. And 1 code he give me to get free accessories.

Rm190 i bought the lock.

get those cheapo arai or watever rainsuit from kapchai shops... they may be cheap.. but they can last. i know some people use them as riding jackets daily and still last a long time. as mentioned, get 1 size up or 2 so u can wear it over ur gear. just go to shop and test while wearing ur gear.

perhaps get waterproof riding boots? better safety than slipper.... i have the replica a-stars one though... been holding up well in the rain when paired with my cheapo rm69 X-Dot rain suit. even used it for a tonne of walking when i was in UK and still OK. definitely not as comfy as sneakers, but u get used to it. ridden in the rain before without any rainsuit, boots were still relatively dry since my pants covered the top of the boot.

for gloves, cheapo gloves for the rain.. doesnt need to be waterproof.. as long as ur hands are still covered... so that it doesnt hurt like a son of a beech during the ride. if u want cheapo waterproof, go to bike shops and buy them RM100 "leather" gloves. my neighbour has the soft gauntlet length "leather" glove (branded RS TAichi) and its waterproof. looks good and friggin comfy too.


for storage, backpacks, tank bang, tail bag, removable saddle bag. all can be had for cheap for replicas. comes with rain cover too so no need to worry about rain so much.


EDIT: by "bike shops" i mean those normal bike shops that sells kapchais...if they also sell bigger bikes then better chances of finding the items. doesnt have to be specialized bike accesory shops.

btw...hows the haze in penang? thinking of heading there in 2 weeks.
