blurredyu Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 being a newbie i dont think it is advisable for you to drive a big bike it takes much time to handle it. I suggest do some practice kasi mahirap talaga ihandle ang BIG BIKE lalo na bigger displacement baka tumilapon ka kapag hindi mo nakontrol ang silinyador well its upto you kung yung mga bike lang na sinabi mo ang pagpipilian go for CBR400 at sama monaren SUPER4 may mga parts nyan rito I guess. at ang pwede sa express na motor ay above 400cc na motor 200-250cc minsan nakakadaya pero much better kuha kanalang ng 400cc at again take much time to practice. I bought me an NC30, naunahan ako sa NC 23, gusto ko sana yun NC 23, para medyo pang practice, then ugrade nalang later, pero seems foolish but I guess I'll have to make do with the NC 30 , practice lang muna sa kanto paikot ikot hehe, then when I have confidence, lalabas sa village, hehe tapos sa mall, tapos sa office tapos sa probinsya na yohooo, maybe it will take me five years to reach my goal...anyway thanks parin sa advice, appreciatte it Quote Link to comment

I'd have to agree with your comments on the Lambretta. While I only have the Vespa PX, maybe one of these days I'll consider getting a Lammy. I do know that it will take a lot of time and effort (and also a bit of money) to restore a Lammy to its full glory. Also, I understand that there is a long waiting line at the shops of the Lammy restorers. Good luck on your future project. Btw, if any of these in "hibernation mode" are for sale, pls. let me know. I have a number of friends on the look out to buy. Quote Link to comment

I have a number of friends on the look out to buy. actually im planning to put a GY6 engine into the frame. anyway there is a guy called "the legend" in cubao area. he is the foremost restorer of lammy's here in qc i think. and you are right bout the looong line you have to wait to restore a Lammy's engine. still its more of a labor of love in our part.

ChiliMac Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Gudam guys! I'm sorry about this post but i think this is the appropriate thread to address my question. I have a scooter that i used to go to work everyday, it's service center is in Caloocan and since i live in Parañaque I found a mechanic that can address my problems with my scoot. My problem is that his shop mostly sells XRM's and Dio's and similar scoots or underbones only. I have to wait for him to buy parts for my scoot which will usually take 1 to 2 weeks waiting or more. Nakaka-pagod na sya kasi I feel i am taken for granted, siguro nga talaga it boils down to economics, (wala sya masyadong trabahong nakukuha sa akin) which would bring to me to my question. I have a Sinski Bigboy, GY6 engine sya. Do you know any shop that can service my scoot within Parañaque or Las Piñas that has available parts as well? Many people would say that it's a lemon type but i still chose it because mura sya for a 150cc displacement I got it for only 51k only. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment

asagi Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 For those of you who are scooter riders like me, don't you hate it everytime there is a checkpoint and we scooter riders are the only ones who get checked? Looks like discrimination to me. Quote Link to comment

Looks like discrimination to me. oks lang sana pero minsan abala din nga. siguro its one way na rin para ma-lessen ang bikenapping kse scooters and ubone naman talaga ang madalas manakaw... isipin mo na lang na para na rin sa protection natin yun... hehehe... imho Quote Link to comment
TheGeneral Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 hey guys... will you meet up soon? i'm just a lowly 125cc china-made scooter owner. i use it to go to work and practically had my car sitting at home. it's a commercially available scooter... bought it for only 35k though, brand new. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d182/LesLacson/07-10-06_1015.jpg Quote Link to comment

Minsan lang kasi, scooter na lang kaysa kotse para mabilis. Pero bumabagal din dahil sa mga checkpoint. Btw, anong scoot sa avatar mo? Quote Link to comment

Ganda talaga ng mga retro scooters, gaya ng giorno, vino at joker. May nakita ako na joker for sale. Rush sale na yata kasi from about P85-90 thousand, parang P65 thousand na lang. Pls. check MCP at Vespinoy forum if you are interested. Quote Link to comment
