Singapore hasn't seen a proper bike show in close to almost a decade! As highly anticipated as it was, the inaugural Singapore Bike Show 2016 held at Singapore Expo Hall 4 last weekend indeed saw an overwhelming crowd response.
As the brand ambassador, I honestly couldn't have been more honoured to be part of such an exceptional event that spoke so closely with my passion for two wheelers! I was all smiles when the day finally arrived :D
Prior to the Singapore Bike Show, I heard people were talking about it on and offline, many of which who registered their interest in heading down to check it out.
But little did I expect the turn out to be so massive! I mean, just look at the amount of bikes that flooded the entire carparks! Even cars had nowhere to find a space because they were overthrown by such a large volume of bikes!
Just... Wow. I was simply escatic at the turn up. Our biking world is very much alive!!!

Not forgetting the very well synchronised performance by the instructors from ComfortDelGo Centre! They're the ones who coached me when I was taking my Class 2B motorcycle license like 7 years ago? Man, I feel old. Hahaha.

Truth be known, it is actually quite rare for the various Singapore Government bodies to be involved in Singapore's motorcycling activities. There seems to be a lack of support in our two wheeler industry and the dampening COE prices hasn't been helping either.

Therefore, with their involvement in the Singapore Bike Show 2016, I feel encouraged that we are looking at a positive change in direction here for our biking community.
Now despite a little limping leg, I hopped up on stage and was so stoked to be able to personally share about my #BeyondEverest journey to the crowd that included the young and old, riders and non-riders.
I had my jitters on stage, but they were all calmed when I saw many familiar faces of my loved ones amidst the huge crowd.

Like many others, I thoroughly enjoyed the following sharing sessions by Hodaka Motoworld, Singapore Dream, Singapore Female Riders, ComfortDelGo Driving Centre and Love Cycling SG with the thrilling stunt shows in between to keep our adrenaline pumping.
We had MV Agusta showcasing their sickest fleet of models from the F3 800 to their Brutale
Mah Pte Ltd who almost brought half the house down with crates of different brands shipped in, from
Speedzone sporting some orange force with some of the most popular KTM models
Scomadi Singapore had all their wide range of TL200 decked in different cute and funky designs!
No wonder they're currently UK's most sought after scooter brand!
PT. Studio Bike Indonesia showcasing the very classic Norton!

The Singapore Bike Show 2016 also saw multiple motorcycle accessory and gear brands participating in the event.
With Pirelli as the Official Tyre Brand for the show.
 |
| With Hong Tsui from 9tro |
Even 9tro joined us in our two wheel fun!
It was so amazing getting to meet different bikers from all walks of life and background so upclose and personal, some who shared their very own two wheel stories which totally makes me want to plan a road trip with them!
 |
| Meet da man behind my Chrome Ducati, Ash, and his 7 Angelz!! |
 |
| With stunt biker Hiroyuki Ogawa and his brave girlfriend who starred in his stunt performance! |
From endless bikes galore, to the crazy stunt performances, meaningful sharing sessions by individual extraordinary bikers, educational talks on safety riding and not forgetting the special showcase of bicycles and e-bikes are just a peek into our world of motorcycling.
Definitely hoping to see more brands like Ducati, BMW Asia, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki etc participating in the next round of the Singapore Bike Show.
