Sorry to hear @scooter.
Now we are missing your beautiful ‚work in your workwear‘ pictures.

[louisbosco]

tbh, this isn't really my size. but I'm willing to give it a go. just not sure if it'll be worth while. but if you all think it is, I'll give it a shot

[louisbosco]

@Mister_Brue going from an S to a XL would be interesting.. LFG!

[louisbosco]

@Cutlasshound send it to me then

[Cutlasshound]

@louisbosco

Just seen this, of course! Will respond to your PM

@Cutlasshound send it to me

Just thought about today. Is it on its way?

[endo]

this project has fallen asleep a bit
remember the rules for participating, guys

[louisbosco]

cutlasshound has been a little busy of late. but we've messaged and he'll send it to me while he can. but I'll also be away next week up till christmas, so we'll see

[louisbosco]

just wanted to update everyone that the jacket is here. impeccable timing by @Cutlasshound as I was waiting impatiently for my new MacBook Pro and it arrived on the same day! give me some time to sort things out and postings will begin!!

[louisbosco]

Here we go. The TROPICAL leg of this tour..

Just want to give a shout out to @Cutlasshound for this beautiful gift. And to do it honours, I’ll use my childish side..

[Oaktavia]

@louisbosco that's cool! Looking forward to your leg of the tour man.

[Mizmazzle]

@louisbosco sick jacket...but that wooden hand should have a tour of its own!!!

[louisbosco]

well I hope there's something to show. not much going on at the moment. daily ride to work takes the first snapshot of this leg..

[goosehd]

@louisbosco I see something is wrong with your tachometer as it’s barely above 3…you might want to have that looked at as it should be much higher

[Fadez]

Pretty much the proper way to start @louisbosco Regular for you is exciting for us!

[louisbosco]

@goosehd those moments are saved for off cam usage..

[louisbosco]

on that note. the triumph will happily sit anywhere between 3-7000 as it's sweet spot. given the redline of 10500rpm. the Ducati on the other hand is very unhappy and jerky below 4,000. you'll constantly have to keep it above 5,000 for it to be happy.

Pictures first, post later

The Singapore motor show is on this weekend. it's also been raining non-stop since friday morning, not even intermittent showers, not stop pouring through the night! I have not seen the sun since friday.

with that said, I think everyone should know by now how expensive cars is in Singapore. lots of deal to be had at the motor show but it's crazy to think about when a civic or corolla costs about USD130,000.

for those that don't understand, the price consists of:

Original manufacturers Value (OMV)
Tiered Additional registration fee (140% to 320%) on top on the OMV
Certificate of Entitlement COE (the right to own a road going car)bid based system, at which it currently stands between USD60k to 90k for a piece of paper
Import taxes and GST
Dealer Margin (est to be about 30k per car they sell)

oh and also a fit pic..

[louisbosco]

taking the most basic European car as an example BMW X1

OMV: 40k
ARF: 49k
COE: 99k
GST and Duty: 12k
List price: 250k SGD
