My 1st bike-Phantom TA200

After passing 2B for about a week, I went to look for a bike that I can start riding with and develop my riding skills from there. I thought of owning a Phantom TA200 the moment I passed my stage 8.01. I thought that it might be a good bike to prepare for the Super 4 that I want to own a year later. The Phantom TA200 is one of the heaviest 2B bikes around...

I scouted around several shops for the Phantom TA200, until I finally found one that had a good engine condition with a nice colour to it.

This is my Phantom...

It has journeyed with me through so many silly mistakes I made during my P-plate year. Forgetting to put cashcard before exiting carpark, doing wide turnings during my 1st week of owning the bike, etc.

Through this bike, I learnt a lot of stuff about bike maintenance. Maintenance such as knowing how to check your own tyres, pump your own tyres, change your own engine oil (though lazy me would let the mechanic do it), etc...

I didn't travel beyond the borders of Singapore with this bike though... This bike is very stable, however its power is better off travelling just around the island...

Time really flies... I have been owning this bike since May 2007...

I do have the desire to do some touring... and maybe even travelling up to Thailand if possible...

I guess my time will come when I get my 2A...
