... and you can be sure that it is a good time to buy!
The market is totally down since the government introduced the new loan guidelines where every buyer needs a 50% share in cash on the loan.
My own bike went down in price already 4thsd dollars .
Just crazy!

Hello, actually we go from time to time with a friend from the office on bike tours to Malaysia. We plan to go for a daytrip, where the ride is more important than the destination :D . We would do about 200-300 km a trip, usually using the "b" roads instead of highways. Real fun is going to Cameron ...

As i mentioned already earlier on a similar topic here: The Singa market is too tiny for anybody of the big players to come in. A controlled market will allow only local business to explore it. But of course, you can further dream of the Wallys and Tescos dropping into such a tiny market. :wink: So ...

Hahahaha! Indeed. Riding a Ducati here, but using the power in Malaysia. A GTS or Turbo S is a waste of money, just to go through the parkings. But of course, if you need to show off... It's like theconvertibles here... They go out when the sun is shining covered with an umbrella, but convertibles ;...

Yeah, the bmw is a nice ride for German highways. I chose the cayenne turbo s, to see the speedometer at 300. I have been quite fast around, with probably more time spend at the filling station, than with driving, i guess. When i see these cars over here, these Astons, Lambos or today Bulgari... Wha...

Hej guys, What kind of emotions for this topic! You can not compare Singapore "driving" with anything else in the world- Maybe with the cars experience in Disneyland. Y Maybe there is no way to come to the truth, who is the toughest driver, w Where you find the mostly ignorant drivers in the world. ...

Hey, there are a couple of things you might check on your own, even without beeing a mechanic. indeed, a used bike is not so complicated to check as e.g.: a car. If you use the internet searchmaschines writing "how to inspect a used motorbike" shows you even with pictures, how to check the steering ...

As a motocyclist the situation is quite clear: Act as if the cars in Singapore have covered window shields, they just can not see you. It is not, that they do not want to see you. But to do three things at a time? look, drive, think- no way! Sometimes, they even put fancy curtains in the side window...

The situation regarding racism is pretty clear also for foreigners in Singapore: Just have a look where are the differences made, e.g.: where people with different skin colours are placed on the trucks, what are the instructions for "maid- owners" about, why you are queueing at the LTA in the foreig...

Sorry guys, i guess you over-estimate the attractiveness of the Singaporean market a tiny little bit :shock: Actually working in "The branch", i would not spend a day on investing in such a tiny, sophisticated market. Please imagine, for a country operation ( Yes, Singapore is called a country, but ...

Yes, leaking is very likely the problem... The case might be that your car looses liquid when driving and not when parked. Every two weeks is indicating a small leakage , depending on the type of your car... At a service station, mechanics shall use a pressure measurement for your cooling system and...

Actually we had the same discussion at home; we decided at the end to lease a car because: - we have just a three years expat contract with the company - the singaporean market is sometimes strict against expats: for loans for used cars you quite often have to find a Singaporean "guarantor", or pay ...

@earthfriendly:
beautiful reaction of your son, congratulation!
And he is very right:
Everybody can help.
I will follow his example ( not regarding your garden ) and check - out possibilities to help.
Thank you for the example!

for your own safety choose a smaller one. I learned riding on a yamaha rd 350 LC i remember :D next bike than was the "big" DR 800 from suzuki. You need some time to learn how to operate a bike in different weather conditions, sometimes have a blocking rear wheel, sometimes front :twisted: . Startin...

@plavt Yes, of course you are right. On the other hand you might know a bit about the Japanese market and customer buying behavior. Own supply is in Japan 1st choice. The first country in my life visited with rice- colour ratings between white and even whiter! Reading today about the contermination ...
