The Golden Triangle Rider

M-Technik

Mr Chan at M-Technik is rightfully well-known in helping GT Riders out in a fix or finding the unobtainable part at reasonable prices.
Located just north of the PIE expressway in an industrial park it can be confusing at first.
But on arrival the preponderance of GSs – R100, R1100 & R 1150s tell you you have arrived at the correct place.
A stockist of Wunderlich, Touratech & GT Rider maps & shirts he is a must stop on any visit to Singapore.

Mr Chan is a rider himself – has an Africa Twin in Phnom Penh at the moment and rides around Singapore on a DRZ650.
He can arrange shipments to you in Thailand if needed.

JR PTE LTD

Dainese & Gaerne Stockists.
Have a large selection of heavy duty jackets that would be too hot in Europe! Their stock size ends at Large – though they will order lager sizes for those with a little added plumage – expect 2 months as they receive shipments by sea.

Here’s the new Dainese Wave armour safety jacket 520SGD.

Regina Specialties
On Ian Bungy’s recommendation of “Best Bike Shop with the Best Range and Prices. I would Suggest Going Here first, don't be fooled by the Shop Front they have a few different Store Rooms and constantly run away to come back with what you want. Just Ask and You Shall Receive!!! I got everything from here.”

I dealt with Doris who was really helpful.
Give her a call if you know what you want and she’ll save you a journey.

LOOI’s Motor
David Unkovich choice:
“5 floors of gleaming motorcycles, accessories, parts & workshop!
A great place to spend a weekend visualizing your dream machine and lifestyle.
New motorcycles of all makes can be found on one floor while used machines pack another.
There's also a whole floor dedicated for accessories and riding gear. The workshop occupies the ground level in front of a spacious parking lot.”
I dealt with Ahmed who was really helpful and had some tasty new bikes in. He said they were moving away from accessories as they were carrying too much stock.

The 2003 Honda Africa Twin was for sale at 12,000 SGD.

Looi's Motor

Yes. 3 cheers for Chan Kok Pyng at M -Technik.

He has provided excellent service & parts for myself & several other GT Riders for many years now.
In Sing Chan is renowned as the Africa Twin & BMW GS guru!
If you're ever in Sing check out Chan & his shop. Or if you just need parts - email or SMS him for incredibly good reliable service.

Chan at M-Tech is indeed a good fellow. Got my BMW bit to me in Thailand. A very helpful fellow. Also I can vouch for Mr.Lee owner of Looi's Motors. I have known this gentleman for nearly 20 years now when his shop was in Yishun. He never let me down, and always is upi for a fair deal.....

Thanks lads! Wink

I'm weighing up the options of travelling from Cambodia to Bangkok to buy a new helmet and laptop or getting a flight from PP to Singapore to do same.

I take a XXL helmet which dont exist in Cambo and Paddock and Red Baron in Thailand didnt have any last time I visited.

Will I find a better range in Singapore ?

How do prices compare to Bangkok ?

I like the look of the Arai tx motard if the price is right.

(For the laptop I'm leaning towards the Thinkpad X61)

Whats the logistics like in Singapore, ie , getting around from Airport to reasonably priced hotel close to motorcycle shops and computer shops.

budget hotels like hotel81 starts from $70 per nite, clean and comfortable. its never 'too far' in singapore as the land is decently small.

get can find loads of hotels in geylang area, which is about 15mins from bike shops in the town area.

as for laptop, u can visit sim lim square or funan centre... singapore's IT mall. alternatively, prices of electronics are way cheaper in Hong Kong!
