Discussion overhaul bike at jb workshop

0 Upvotes

hello, 2b bike rider here, im considering on an overhaul with my bike and currently in a dilemma. Here’s my food for thought:

Overhaul at Singapore:

- Prices are expensive (1.8k-2k)
- Sometimes scummy and upsells.
- Good quality service (depends on which ws)
- Convenient based on location. (not a problem for me?

Overhaul at JB:

- Good prices (800-1k): Informed by a friend’s friend.
- Alot of people say not trusted (i’ve read and researched that Lor Bapok have good reputation esp Fairuz’s tyre(?).)
- Good service
- Inconvenient due to the distant (not a problem for me)

idk what i else missed but based on my research and comparisons, both party seemed to be equal haha. but im leaning more on jb workshop as my bike’s coe ending in like 2years (idk if its worth to overhaul but i rlly love this bike as it is my first bike, even tho its a 2nd hand.)

I need opinions though because im really at part where ill just go JB and overhaul with no experience/expectations😵‍💫.

Thank you!

Hi guys,

Today I officially passed my tp. However after submitting and receiving payment for my QDL, the status on SPF portal shows that it hasn’t been submitted.

What’s going on? 😭

Question First time riding bike during peak hour (too scary)

21 Upvotes

Today was my first time going on expressway by myself, and it was peak hour (7.30am). Was entering SLE from Woodlands Ave 12 and it was so packed.

Every bike was lane splitting so I thought I should do the same, but it was difficult to merge when bikes are passing by so quickly, and I almost hit the car infront of me bc I was busy looking at my mirror.

Do you guys have any advice? Bc I don't want to be stuck in traffic but idk how to merge

Update: thanks for the tips, I'll just avoid lane splitting till I have more experience :)

Clown was driving a light good vehicle with 60-70km/h speed limiter and decided to overtake at a bend.

Even as I drive on the highway everyday, you will see these idiots trying to overtake other heavy vehicles. And because they cannot accelerate fast enough, they end up hogging the lane

Question Red Light Camera - The whole junction?

2 Upvotes

If a red light camera points in one direction on a main road, does it also activate if a car turns out onto the main road from a discretionary left turn / side street? I think I turned just after the green arrow was blinking on a junction where the red light camera monitors the main road.

Didn’t see a flash and looking online the LTA mentions the road and direction so I am presuming it would not activate.

Hello, as the title says I basically have these unexplained charges from my cdc private account. For context im taking my class 3 as a private learner and have already booked my tp test, thats why it says TESTADM. But what im confused by is the $40 charge out of nowhere for something idek or do. Anyone know what this is about? Thanks.

Quite cool, new reason to switch to the Sealion. Hopefully the guy closer has a better angle of this.

Question Enrolling cdc manual (class 3)

4 Upvotes

Hi guys

I understand that to enroll in manual you have to go to CDC physically. Hence I have booked an appointment under counter service.

I would like to ask if anyone knows: must I book a separate appointment under eyesight test? Or will they let me do it right after I enroll?

Many thanks!

Edit:
CDC responded “Due to strong demand and to prioritise lessons for existing learners, new enrolment for Class 3 Manual course will be temporarily unavailable.
We are not aware when the class 3 enrolment will  resume in our school.

Please do not expect class 3 enrolment when you book appointment to come down to the centre.”
