[QUOTE]Lots of restrictions are strictly enforced and make Singaporean bikers long for biking "American Style." ...
They are not able to make any modifications to their bikes other than bolt on accessories and many of those are "illegal." No choppers are allowed on the island period - custom non-production manufactured are not allowed. Of course, no loud pipes are allowed and helmets are required. ..
The island is only about 10 miles wide and 22 miles long. This doesn't afford riders lots of long-ride opportunities...While it may be a photographers delight, it is not a bikers dreamland. [QUOTE]
ETC. ETC. ETC. The devil is always in the details.. Loved it as a visiting seaman in the '70s.. don't think I'd care to live there now.

Right you are I lived in Singapore for 10 years and It's a nice place to visit but would not want live here. I took a Sportster into Singapore back in 1988 and had to get a letter from Harley Davidson explaining why they did not put center stands on the bike. It was a big hassle
[quote=66cruiser;8927750]Yea, Right!

OK. I stand corrected. I hate bureaucracies. Just think our cities could be clean and shiny if everybody pulled their own weight. And I see a few people everyday who could use a caning.
