My sisters guy sold his firebird, for a monstrous BMW, he's a big racing fan too.
Your right there son! Anyway Singapore is a good posting mate, but not like the good old days of the late 60's I hit the place in 70 when the guys were pulling out. So it appears our ruler commands that i come back for a life sentence.Rich_UKExpat wrote:Clearly not from the same parts of the north as me then and most surely 30+ years my senior to refer to someone called Rich as 'Dick'ksl wrote:EADG wrote:With a pompous nick like that, why do you have to ask the question in the first place?Like that one even if shit does happen!

The time begins with your entry into the country. Just be sure you sign up to take the basic theory test before 12 months from the date of entry is up.yaqushi wrote:Hi,
this is my first post, maybe somebody with experience can answer:

What day counts for this one year period driving bikes with the international license? I came here already a couple of month ago, does the first entry counts or the day when you get your work permit?
Better to buy here... it is extremely hard to import a bike (not to mention expensive), and it your bike is older than 3 years you cannot import it at all.2.
Also, would it make sense to buy a bike now in Germany and ship it off together with the furniture in a sea-container when moving here, or better buy it here?
It will depend how old you are. A number of people have bought large displacement bikes and ridden them for 8 months, then have asked for an unlimited license, and gotten it. But, this is not a guarantee. Singapore really doesn't want to grant unlimited licenses to youngsters who go out and kill themselves on 1200 cc sport bikes.3.
I do have a german license since 1998 unlimited, but no PROOF of experience. So what if I buy a bike, ride it a few month and then during the converting process i would get only 2B - bad luck?
I am looking for a chopper in the 600-1200 class.
Thanks for the answer. Still didnt get it though: I came last year in November like a tourist, then went back, now im again here like a tourist, will go back in a couple of weeks. At some point of time in summer I ll be moving here. So what day counts? How shall one sort out, when the first day of entry the country was? In the passport will be tons of stamps showing dates entering Singapore. It has to be some sort of enrty date when one actually enters Singapore to stay here and live\work here, no?Strong Eagle wrote:yaqushi wrote:Hi,

The date should be based on when you entered to work here, previous visits as a tourist shouldn't count.yaqushi wrote: Thanks for the answer.

It is definitely not just you.Jeppo wrote:It may just be me, but I've found the 12 month thing rather flexible.
I am also a daily rider of a large cc Bike (1600cc) and fully agree with you Strong Eagle. The best parts of my day are the ride to and from work. My wife is also a rider (1200cc) and we very much enjoy the experience and the friendship of fellow riders. I did a straight transfer in 2001 to a class 2, my wife did it the hard way and started with a 2B and progressed over the next two years to a class 2 - she had no problems with the experience though.Strong Eagle wrote:Note that the people who find Singapore riding experience a positive one are actual riders... daily.Rich_UKExpat wrote:Seems a mixed bag of views on the riding experience in Singa. Guess I await to find out myself.
