1. bent handlebars



2. broken left side bikini fairing

3. bent gear changer lever

4. small dent on tank

5. deep scratch on the crank case cover

6. multiple scratches on foot rest, foot pegs, etc...

torn gloves:





and my 2 week old n85 spots a scratch on the mouthpiece...



luckily, no harm on me. not even a slight scratch. just a very sore arm i think caused by the impact...

hmph judging by that, i believe my place is a lil cheaper

a 08 rabbit ~US$8k

09 Gixxer ~US$7k

09 R6 ~US$7.5k

lesser european bikes like the SS1000RR (my super dream bike ) there's ducati around thou..

say for the whole new 2012 ZX10R, US$15k quoted here..

ur OTR price is so damn expensive gosh, here bikes doesnt need insurance, registration cost $50 lol.. road tax for >250cc bike, u wont believe how much it is hahaha... $2

fuel is expensive here 97 RON ~US$1.40, oil prices fluctuates here according to global fuel prices..

older sliders for older er6-n doesn't fit

only today when i bring in my bike for repair estimates did they show me the new sliders for 2012 er6-n

costs rm 280.

haha... try crashing a car and see?

that's a naked bike i crashed

try crashing a bike with full fairing...

and then try it with an italian superbike with fairing.... nangis wooo...

but still... rm 650 took a big chunk of my budget (been planning to buy something end of this year)

sigh, better start saving more now

at 1st wanna claim for insurance, but when i see the bill is not that bad, better don't so i can save on NCD in the next few years...
cars you don't have to factor about your damaged safety equipment / apparels - at best, need to buy new gloves and jacket. at worse, a new helmet (another 1k gone)...

bro your legs are fine eh? That's good.. The pants no scratch or anything??

there's a burnt mark on the pants... i think due to excessive sliding on the tarmac

but not even a scratch...

i can say i'm very lucky. but the pants goes to the trash as it was torn... (the burnt patches crumbled after i inspected it. it literally had burnt!)

Dainese jacket is replica - made in Vietnam. Use it for daily rides, quality of the materials and zippers have me protected coming to 1 year already. Trying to locate the factory/bulk for this jacket over at Vietnam - but nobody seems to know who the supplier is in Vietnam. Wanted to see what other stuffs they make...

kapalterbang_737 - price listed in SGD is purchased there and hand carried back. Prices in SG is indeed cheaper only at certain places. Brands like Dainese is quite standard between here, HK and SG as I have seen. For Alpinestars, I can vouch that SG is cheaper. SG Helmets on the other hand is definitely cheaper and much choices for you to choose from. A riding mate just picked up a new Arai Doohan TT RX7RR5 for SGD800. If you happen to be there or plan to go SG, I suggest you budget your shopping list otherwise will be like me - impulse buy and want to buy almost everything!

More drool on Arai helmets during my recent trip to HK



Burnt another hole in my pocket there as I picked up a helmet & visors on sale there...

what pants were you wearing? not wearing jeans?

bro phobian, may i know where about in HK can i find those sports bike accessories especially those Arai helmets? going to HK soon are those accessories considered cheap? do they provide a wide range of accessories? apparels, gloves, boots, helmets, protectors and stuffs

hmph judging by that, i believe my place is a lil cheaper

When moving depends on speed but normally i get around 176-182 fahrenheit
When static especially at long traffic light stop it can reach up to 221 fahrenheit and after that the fan will kick in
