CB110 with Rim instead of Mags

I'm posting this as a reference for other CB110/Twister owner who are planning to change their wheels.

We know that CB110/Twister comes with mags but if you have the money, then you can change it to rims and it will still look good.

For the picture, I got it from a post in Facebook (CB110 Modification group). So don't ask me for the specs of the rim and tire as I do not know anything about it. For the CB110/Twister owner, if you see this picture, please inform me so I can put your name and email on this post as my way of giving credit to its owner.

For other CB110/Twister owner, lets drool over this and hopefully in the future we can make our CB110/Twister the same as pictured.

Ride safe guys!

New law gives motorists 2 more months to comply with helmet regulation

By Jinky R. Bargio

Thursday, May 3, 2012

MOTORCYCLE riders have only two more months to comply with the standard helmet provided in Republic Act 10054 or the Mandatory Helmet Act of 2010.

In yesterday’s multi-sectoral forum, the board, represented by the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), said it aims to clarify the implementing rules and regulations issued in the joint administrative order last Dec. 26, 2011.

This mandates “all motorcycle riders to wear standard protective helmets while driving.”

By August, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) will no longer tolerate the use of ordinary helmets.

The Bureau of Product Standards emphasized the use of full-faced, half-faced and half-head helmets that bear Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) marks or Philippine Standard (PS) stickers.

Deadline

LTO Regional Director Raul Aguilos said that “by first week of August, we shall conduct special operations to implement special provisions of RA 10054. Anyone caught violating shall be penalized.”

Erring motorcycle riders have to pay a fine of P1,500 for the first offense, P3,000 for the second offense and P5,000 for the third offense, and P10,000 (plus confiscation of the driver’s license) for the fourth and succeeding offenses.

Aguilos said the mandatory use of protective standard helmet is considered a pro-active and preventive approach in the effort to secure motorcycle drivers and their passengers.

Meanwhile, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has started its mandatory inspection on all helmet suppliers and dealers.

It is also mandated by law that helmet manufacturers and importers also need to secure a PS license or an ICC mark before selling and distributing their products.

Manufacturers who don’t comply will have to pay a fine of P10,000 to P20,000.

Supply

DTI 7 Regional Director Asteria Caberte assured the riding public that the region has enough supply of helmets.

With LTO intensifying its campaign to go against erring motorcycle riders, Caberte is optimistic that dealers, retailers and suppliers will comply with the standard prescribed helmets.

It was learned that since the start of the inspection, many dealers have returned their old substandard helmets to their suppliers.

The information campaign drew negative reactions among “habal-habal” drivers and some motorists, especially those who bought other types of helmets before the DOTC and DTI issued the implementing rules.

Motorcycle owner Niño Libona still thinks he cannot afford the helmet, as he has other priorities in life.

“Hasol na kaayo gawas nga mahal.. kung ibilin sa motor, way ciguro nga kawaton pa gyud (It’s too much hassle and too expensive…if I leave it on the motorbike, it will probably get stolen),” he said.

A certain Nelson, who hails from Dumaguete City, said he still finds the law impractical especially in their city where roads are narrow.

The Mandatory Helmet Act of 2010, authored by Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr., requires all motorcycle drivers and their passengers to wear helmets at all times and imposes stiff penalties on violators.

Boxx - The 1 meter Vehicle.

Found this posted / shared on my Tumblr account ( http://arlantiu.tumblr.com/ ) posted by garageprojectmotorcycles (http://garageprojectmotorcycles.tumblr.com/) thus I am reposting this as seems to be a very interesting vehichle. Below is the post of garageprojectmotorcycles.

Saw this ages ago and have been meaning to find the time to do a blog post about it. It’s 8:30pm on a Saturday night and I find myself living the high life on the couch in front of the TV with a laptop on my…um…lap.

I’d like to tell you a lot more about this … um…box thingy but their website is fairly shite.

I’ve worked out that it is electric, charges in 1 hour (with optional charger), can travel at a tad over 50km/h and is two wheel drive.

The company says it has an “Areodynamic* design. Very low vehicle drag coefficient”

Surely they lose credibility with this claim when the top speed is 50km/h. Aerodynamics isn’t going to have any effect with Morgan Freeman’s twin brother perched on top.

They also say…“all surface road terrain capable AWD, at demand sport performance, amazing feeling with a ”riding on rails” type of handling and stability”… aw FFS, how stupid do you think we are!

You can choose from 10 box colours and either black or tan seat. Here’s one I configured in red. Being so aerodynamic AND red, it’s sure to be faster than the other colours.

They cost US$3,995 as standard but if you want a three year warranty, a heated seat, a 1hr charger and CORE whatever that is then you can add a further $1,500+.

They showed the BOXX at the Portland 2012 International Auto Show.

I wish these guys luck, I really do. It’s not turning me on at the moment but neither would the Reitwagon if I was around in 1885

Do the math...some math is good.

How much does an actual flat tire cost you? Let's do some math.

Assume a minimum wage earner, Php 400/day or Php 50/ hour (you can, of course, charge a higher hourly rate if you want ). Assume 1 flat tire repair in Manila will cost you Php 70. Additionally, let's assume the time spent getting to a vulcanizing shop and having the tire repair done is 1 hour, that is Php 50. So, fixing a puncture will cost you Php 120.

But, the cost (Php 120) is just the basic repair of 1 puncture on 1 tubeless tire.

How many times do you get a flat tire in a month? Every 3 months? For the entire life of the tire (approximately 6 months if used daily)?

What if you get more than one puncture?... On a tube type tire? Normally, you would want to change the tube. That will mean higher cost.

How much do you actually spend for the life of the tire vs Cycle Seal's cost at Php 350 (2 sachets for 2 tires)?

Another way of looking at it...

An MC tire with Cycle Seal is still usable after 50 punctures. Assuming the cheapest rate of tire repair is Php 50 per puncture, Php 50 x 50 holes means that your tire is now worth ( or you have saved ) more than Php 2,500.

Now, do the math. These days, flat prevention can still come cheap!
