Singapore and more!

Inside the Nethercutt, as explained in Motorcycle Classics magazine.

Wow, it sure has been a whirlwind five days.   Hop on a airplane, fly to Singapore (20+ hours to get there), two days of business, and fly back (another 20+ hours of travel).    Getting through LAX Customs late last night was terrible (tons of people and massive midnight confusion…not a good combo, I think).   Okay, enough bitching.  On the plus side, life is good.  ExhaustNotes.us readership continues to climb, Motorcycle Classics published my article on the Nethercutt (complete with a link to ExhaustNotes), Motorcycle.com gave us a link to Joe Gresh’s Zed’s Not Dead Z1 resurrection story, and I’m back here in Sweet Home California.

Zed’s Not Dead, even though she’s suffering from advanced atherosclerosis.

So, Singapore….they didn’t call that movie Crazy Rich Asians for nothing.  I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I’m going to.   People always ask what Singapore is like.  Well, it’s like Rodeo Drive without the poor people, I guess.  Orchard Road is nonstop high end shopping and every other store sells Rolexes, Omegas, Breitlings, and Patek Phillippes.  I’m a watch guy, but Casio and Seiko are more my speed.  But I like to look.

Diving into Singapore, a tiny but incredibly wealthy country. Shipping, finance, oil refining, and tourism are its four major industries.
Along Orchard Road…embassies, art, and shopping.
1 in every 34 Singaporeans is a millionaire, they say.  I believe it.

I like visiting Singapore, but I like visiting Tinfiny more.  It’s more my speed.  There are no Z1 Kawasaki motorcycles being resurrected in Singapore.

Hey, if you haven’t already done so, please add your name to the email notification widget on the right side of this page.  We’ve got good stuff coming up, including our plans for the December Baja run, more on the Z1 resurrection, the continuing 150cc Cabo scooter story, and more gun features.  You won’t want to miss any of it!
