Heavy rain these past few days again... have to take BMW (bus walk MRT)![]()
Today (actually a couple of weeks ago) while riding in JB right after passing the customs, I saw a blue scooter stopped by the road side with 2 uncles trying to start it up.
Naturally as Silent Hunter, I quietly stop a couple of meters in front of them, and got off my bike (ebony) to ask them if they need help. It turns out that the 2 gentlemen had ran out of fuel!
Fortunately for them I always carry a small bottle of petrol for emergencies like this, and offered it to them. After pouring the emergency petrol in, the scooter started on the second try. They thanked me profusely and we all went to the nearby Petronas to pump petrol.
At the pump, while refilling the emergency petrol bottle, one of the uncles slipped me a RM $10.00 note. I told him RM $1.00 would do, but he told me to keep it and went back to his scooter. By the time I top up my petrol tank too, the 2 of them were already gone.
Well, no good deed goes unpunished. Looks like I got a hefty subsidy for my petrol run. I just hope that my "Karmamometer" didn't just pass 99999 and reset to 00000.

Had quite a bad accident May 2018, scrapped the bike. I suffered broken bones fractured hands and scrapped almost whole left side of lower and upper body... BMW for 8months.. while slow recovery. When have to return to work after 2 months Hospital Leave. Realized how convenient it is to have a bike, than to BMW or even Grab or Go-Jek. The cost is actually more thank you think. Transport fees always rising.. and always no seats on train. Legs start to become pain from all the walking and standing. die die wana buy bike, got a new bike although from 1000cc downgrade to 300cc Scooter but I am loving every moment with it. Used to be on 1st lane now I only play 3rd lane.Just a simple transport for work, marketing etc.
Big bike overtake me all with their loud pipes all.. just take it in, I used to do that too last time. lol.
Today ride was fun, as always. bike gets me safely from home to work. slower ride means I get to see more things around of me, than always chiong fast but never get to see the surrounding area.
Sometimes things happen for a reason but thank God we are still alive. Cherish life and ride safe bros n sis.

Minding my own business yesterday, out on a lovely evening ride. A bit warm but managed to stay out of trouble and explored Seletar a little. Almost got home along Eunos when a red Alpha Romeo decided he/she wanted the lane that I was in. I was following behind a car in moderately heavy traffic positioned about 1/3 way within the lane, when the Alpha sped up from behind me and took up the same space forcing me out of the lane.
Angry and horned at him/her but too dark and congested to take it further.
Got home safely after that and thanked my lucky stars nothing worse happened. Bikers tend to get the short end of the stick, even if we try to ride safe. Still, live to ride another day.

Assalam mualaikum Fir,
I am very sorry to hear of your misfortune. After reading many of your adventures, I was wondering where you were. I hope you are better now. Auto scooter is my main thrill nowadays too. I pray you take care of yourself nowadays.
Dont care about all those big bikes. Ride for fun and marketing and work.
Bismillah before riding.
MR BIKER
Nea WMD effect kicking in. Now considering what to do with my 20 year old bike. Honestly, appearance looks good, engine still strong, JDM bike with low seat height and it's a v-twin. Except the PQP almost as ex as the nea rebate and coe due soon.
Any new v-twin bikes out there that's low seat height? I think the max I can bear is the SV650 seat height.
Bro.. ride defensively rather then safe..
Safe not really safe.. I ride safe, wanna bang behind (lucky slight impact only) bike no drop, no fall. (stationary)
As one of my bike friend like to say, ride like everyone is trying to kill you. (this make sense only after a few years to me) haha..
ya.. a lot of racer wanna-be. Lucky I'm a uncle already.. No cars want to "race" with me anymore.. whahahahha...
Take care on the road guys!![]()

Yes brother, im loving my ride definitely. Honestly its still playing at the back of my head although its already 9 months ago (the accident). I cherish every moment on the road now and I thank god that me and my wife life was spared. I wanted to give up riding honestly but... its in the blood, dad rides, me rides 15yrs already.
Only now SPEEDING is no longer in my vocabulary.
Thank you for reading my story and your reply.![]()
WA'alaikumSalam MR BIKER,
The accident took place in KPE, I lost control hit the side walls (concrete slab) at a speed and everything went very fast and blur. Alhamdullillah with family and friends prayers and words of encouragement we (me and wife) recovered well, though there are abit of side effects like scars etc. yes. I just got a maxi scooter and its very fun! didn't know scooter can be that much fun!
yeah, now bike mainly for work, marketing, visiting inlaws, parents, JB pumpYes always say my prayers before every ride.. big bike is not a threat for me..been there done that but seeing them go soo fast now... just wish they could hear my phispers to them to ride safe, don't speed and be careful, return home safely to your family and loved ones... You never know when is your last ride, I have lost some friends over the years (all 1000cc) at Malaysia NSHW although they are very careful riders.
Thank you and I pray for the health and well-being of you too brother, take care![]()
Hi adesmond2,
Thank you for your kind advisejust sharing with you, my uncle once told me (15 years ago when I just gotten my bike) people say you are not a biker if you never taste the tar (road) before.
Back then it doesn't make sense to me. after many years of riding, some small accident (skidded and tasted tar, bang SG car behind in JB and tasted tar, Malaysia bike bang me in SG then tasted tar, I bang SG police car behind and tasted tar, funny stationary fall because jeans caught at footrest) and the recent major one I had. I believed his words LOL.
Yes, you have to ride like every car is out there to kill you (not literally), do pay special attention to taxi that may stop abruptly in front of you. The hard part nowadays is to spot PHV drivers with hands on the hp, too focused on the app and not on the road. They may enter our lanes without due care. (following GPS blindly).
Do ride safe and say a simple prayer before each ride no matter how near/far.
Take care brother and thank you for your reply![]()
