      @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 🙂

            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.

                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..

                  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

                    Two questions:
                    What cars do people drive in Singapore?
                    And what is that zip tie doing on your shoe?

                    Jacket is looking great, seems like you found a solution for the sleeves.

                      mostly japanese. the COE last 10 years and it makes no sense forking out 70k usd to renew it for a 10 year old car. so most of the fleet is pretty new. the asians also love their MPVs.

                      but with how expensive things have gotten post covid. 180k for japanese vs 210k for an entry level European (x1/ a class etc) most people are heading towards European made.

                      there are also specs you will never get in Europe because of the COE category system.

                      Cat A: cars below 1600cc and/or less than 130bhp
                      Cat B: cars above 1600cc and/or more than 130bhp

                      the X1 we've just gotten last year has the 1.3 turbo inline 3 but detuned to be less than 130bhp but huge on torque..

                      the zip tie is the off white design language..

                        I had no idea cars were that expensive in Singapore! Does this mean that driving personal vehicles is just out of reach for a lot of people? Or is there enough wealth floating around that most families can still afford it? How’s the mass transit? TIA for entertaining my questions.

                          @sabergirl the mass transit is pretty decent. You have decent bus routes and train stations within minutes of each other. The planning of it is pretty good but it’s probably not difficult considering the land size of the country being about 50km2. The challenge will be how far deep underground can you dig I guess..

                          Without sounding too snobbish, I think the ownership of a car is pretty attainable. Most singles probably wouldn’t own one but a family would’ve one car to share for groceries and for ferrying elderly parents. Car share has also seen its growth in recent years.

                          Most cars are paid off on a loan. Interest rates are fairly low, something about 2.8%. The ironic thing is that a car would probably cost more if you wanted to pay it off outright than to go for a loan where the price would be lower as both banks and dealerships earn from interest.

                                last weekend a monsoon swell came in and it poured non stop from friday till monday. proper rain, none of that drizzly shit. also been raining intermittently over the whole week and this weekend. unfortunately that means no Wabash and the cordura riders jacket comes out.

                                headed home after work last night thinking it was going to pour. seeing a gap in the rain and cloud cover, I headed out for a petrol run. so just to entertain you all, here's a shot clip tunnel blasting..

                                Everything is done within local laws and regulations 😉

                                  @louisbosco Singapore has the most odd looking parking lots I’ve ever seen. Looks like cars just park randomly where ever they want… 😉

                                      first off, picking up my triumph from servicing. the local dealer carries triumph, Guzzi and Vespa.
