8 hrs that time was on a UJM naked bike CB400N, so posture not a problem. It was the full concentration needed because of heavy traffic - lotsa lotsa of overtaking on trunk roads all the way to Fraser's, stopping only for lunch and pumping petrol; in addition to that, must not crash cos I was riding alone:sweat:. But there's more confidence after going far the first time alone, so I went there again with a pillion. And after that, going to Mersing is only a short morning/night ride/drive.

 

But before that, in 1979, a few of us went to Penang on 185cc scrambers - took us 2 days at 85kph to reach:lol:, stopping over at KL. There was also a 1978 Cameron Highlands trip on the same scramblers - also 2 days to reach. And because I had a pillion on these trips and with no such thing as cruise controls then, my right wrist felt like breaking at Ipoh.

 

Wanna go for M'sia rides? My group of riding friends go once every 2/3 weeks. I fact, they have gone to Rompin today for a night's stay. I didn't join them cos I just went and I want to keep today free for family stuffs.

 

tec, his gf and I together went to Mersing once. I was riding my Suzuki UJM then, but now I can understand why he said it was tiring for his back:). Anyway, must train my back muscles more. Now, where else a bit further to ride on the SP1? Maybe a chalet stay at Dungun and, hopefully, see a turtle laying eggs?

 

I also think the pcIII is good, but as I don't go onto the track the standard tune of the SP1 is more than enough for me. That's why I keep it original - better for me to improve my riding skills to fully utilise the present capability of the bike. Even my Suzuki UJM on touring tyres is already very fast for me:thumb:. It's not that easy for my SP1 to stay with it cos it's set up for the Mersing stretch. Er,.. I'm not sure whether the pcIII alters the ignition timing curve. From the little I've read, it seems to only alter air/fuel ratio at different rpm readings.

 

So long-winded. Old man already mah. It's good to reminisce over the YOUNGER days.

 

Ride Safe guys, so that you too can reminisce over the YOUNGER days when you're older.

 

will b free this 2 week due to company cutting cost, was force to take unpaid leave 2 weeks...

Hi guys, tis is Alvin was being invited by smokeypipe to tis thread. I owned a vintage VTR1000F Firestorm (tat explain my nick).

 

Hv her for abt 8 1/2yrs from nw, luv her much even thot i hardly rode her.

Till 2day i only clocked 11k on her, total mileage is 30K!!!!!

 

Tis is Honda very first attempt into V-twin sport bike category, thot never able to out beat the Duc & Suzuki.... but still is a great bike to ride & cheaper 2 build as compared to those two.

 

SP1 & 2 appeared later when the current model is deen too soft 2 be a real threat to the rest, it was tis two tat raised their eyebrown.

 

The stuff i done on her :

 

1) Ohlin steering damper.

2) Sprocket conversion from 540 to 520 (to save weight).

3) Full RS3 system (high mount).

4) Cowling (lone rider with no rear pegs).

5) K&N filter.

6) Power ignition cable replacement.

7) Front fork brace.

8) Zero windscreen.

9) Dyno jetting.

10) Steel brake horses.

 

Est dry weight have been reduced to not more than 180kg!!!!

Cos the bloody stock exhuast system weights a ton!!!!

 

 

&....... etc etc etc...... after 8yrs cant really remember liao.

 

Well while somkeypipe mentioned 2 me abt tis awesome thread..... i was for the first time of laying her up..... i still hv till 16/04/2009 to think abt it. So if u guys hv meet up can sms me at 9742 4955?

 

Will try to load pixs.......

 

Thks guys!!!!!!

welcome to the twin family ! ! !

 

I think tis device is to 'trick' the O2 sensor, the O2 sensor actually regulate the CO2 emission (which is required from many countries). It 'trick' the ECU in believing that the engine burning too lean.......

Is a simple but spot on cheap mob.

Worth trying............

if gt extra $$$ will give it a try 4 sure ! but now pciii still the onli proven mob on our RC & abt the power Abuser Auto & Power Abuser Ignite r temping mi abit...but is kinda costly...

next wk, will b our early mth kopi session...pls do join us...

count mi in
