Seems a mixed bag of views on the riding experience in Singa. Guess I await to find out myself. Note that the people who find Singapore riding experience a positive one are actual riders... daily. I am also a daily rider of a large cc Bike (1600cc) and fully agree with you Strong Eagle. The best pa...

Can anyone recommend a cleaning service company? Perhaps one that you are currently using and happy with them. One that is reliable and provides good service for cleaning my home.

Hello Pakjohn. Over the past 5 years I have bought 6 bikes in Singapore (my Wife is also a rider - so we are still holding 3) and from experience if you are buying a used bike I would recommend going private. In a private sale you have less chance of the bike having been dummied up just for sale and...

You will need to do your homework with the banks. They all have some slight differences. Some will not lend more than 80% Some will lend up to 90%. The bank we used had a slightly better interest rate if the deposit was 20% or greater.

Too be honest Paya Lebar is one of the last places I would consider to bring my wife and new born baby. It is largely industrial, trading and local housing. For the next year at least there will be ongoing road works and construction as they are installing a new MRT line through there. Access is onl...

LOL happens to all of us when we start riding here. So far so good for me, I have only had two cards stolen (after neglectfully leaving the card in the reader) in 5 years of riding. I have also retuned a number of times to find my card still there, and once had it retuned to me by security at NAC wh...
