[Discussion] What's bugging you now?

[WanFazer]

How long u bought e bike then u realised ur bike like flucked bro ?

[XxPJYxX]

Can say it's my fault, cos when the bike shop handover the bike to me, i didnt check it thoroughly. Basically, they gave me a bike that can start, can ride, but the condition is half-fluked.

 

In chronological order:

 

Changed brake pump cos pump piston spoil

Changed tyres

Changed carb o ring cos leaking fuel

Changed piston ring cos was bent

Changed fork cos fork was dented, other fork slightly bent, but reusable

Changed fork seal cos was leaking

Changed magneto coil cos wasnt charging

Changed engine block and piston due to pitting

Changed end can and decarb exhaust cos clogged up

Add in top servicing and labour costs.. About there liao.

 

Checked your coolant yet? Rusty water inside?

[Jehuty]

Remember I talked about my 2008 accident which I nearly died? Well, I just found out that my pillion settled for $50k and gave $30k to her dad... The balance she said she spent a lump sum on a guy... Not sure exactly how much.... She was with him for 6-7 months and every time they went out, she would pay for everything... Rental of his car she would pay... Everything... And now the guy is going after my friend... Telling her stories to gain her sympathy... Wtf right?

 

6-7 months, I'll say the girl is stupid. My one is childhood friend. As far as I know about any relationships, there's give and take. If its give give give, its not worth keeping the ties.

[Jehuty]

Got some1 i know, make use of women to buy bike for him n its not ciapalang bike.. Then 1 fateful day heard his 2 bikes 1 of which a few mths old RSV 1000 became char kuey teow liaoz...

 

Deserves it la. You say make use blanja food and petrol still not that bad, buy bike, become guarantor kind of thing, jialat. Ruin her for life.

1month. I went to my friend's shop to do top servicing, then find out about everything else. Oh, forgot to add steering cone bearing too.

 

Anyways, i need to rant a bit... &@$%##%@$@ BMW young punk driver!!!! Just now on the way home on PiE, i was travelling at 100, then i needed to filter left to exit at tpy lor 6. Signalled left, Checked mirror, blindspot, saw the bmw about 75meters away and not closing in fast, so i began to filter left. I was already 1/3 into the lane when headlight suddenly show up in my left mirror. That mother$%*# overtook me with barely 2 feet distance. Mind you, i even sped up during lanechange as taught in school, so i was doing 110. So you can guess what speed that idiot was doing... And somemore i was continuing to slowly filter left to the exit somemore. For that 2 seconds after that, i was damn shocked, then when the initial shock over, the red mist overcame me. I nearly died due to some idiot driver. I immediately throttle and chase after that idiot. Let me emphasise here that i know i shouldnt chase, but i lost my cool. It's just too much.

 

Chasing after him, i realised he was doing 160 constantly and weaving in and out of traffic. i caught up with him and went beside him on his left side and stared at him. His passenger, a pretty lady about 20+ saw me and hit his shoulder. He stare back at me, at this point, his speed dropped to 120. He stare back at me for a while and accelerated somemore. By now, my common sense returned, and i knew i was playing a dangerous game. But i cant simply let it rest. So i caught up with him again, and this time, on his right side, flipped him the finger and accelerated far ahead and exitted at eunos exit to make a u turn and go home safely at 90kmph, while taking deep breaths.

 

I hope he crash, and his freaking car burn. And i hope in the process, TP freaking find him speeding in excess and driving dangerously, and ban him from driving. I know some may find this wish black hearted, but put yourself in my shoes and i hope u understand.

 

Ok, rant over. Popcorn anyone?

Thank goodness the female do realise what is wrong. I will say that the guy will deserve a further slap when they stop and the female will hopefully never ride with this guy ever again.

Unfortunately, i dont think she alerted him cos he did wrong, it was more of a "eh, there's someone staring at you" kinda tap.

These type of drivers only act tough inside the car. Outside they will not even dare to step outside for a talk. These are what I call road bullies.

[JSCJL]

I've learnt to really just avoid such errant and reckless drivers and live life a happier way for they'll face a bigger bully. Just like the Mercs who appeared on the news5 earlier.

At least now u know how I felt about my stories and the others keep saying that I'm trolling... Lucky that you're safe...

Yeah, it's a good thing i'm still alive. But i dont think speed would have saved me. In fact, if i had gone faster during lane change, he might not have enough clearance to pass on my left as there was another car on lane 3. I was on lane 2. Then it may have resulted in an accident as he was still accelerating at that point and can't possibly stop in time even if he was using brembo brakes.

 

On the flip side, i'm glad i spent that 2k plus to restore my SP to its current condition. It was really easy to catch up with that BMW. Pick up is damn powerful. And the best part, it's superstock SP. The importance of maintaining your vehicle.

Ya. These over arrogant drivers think that they are Atas just because they "made it in society" by driving an expensive car. And they do not have to give any regards to other peoples life. Big makan small. These kind of animalistic thinking will not get them far.

 

If I were the judge, I'll put them into an MMA event with a Pro fighter. Maybe that will humble their ass down.

Eh dun anyhow link link. Your case was "a way of life". Other pple is "reacted in anger". Totally different. And not to mention, he realise how stupid it is. U, continously self defending ur right of way.

@Heathx. But hor, if he crash and burn. How to ban from driving? pick 1 k. Anyway i admit i also black heart and wish these drivers disappear 1 way or another.

This is the part why i lost my cool yesterday. Must they wait until they caused someone's death before they realised how wrong their thinking is? And even if they do cause someone's death, what then? will they have nightmares every night until their deathbed? I highly doubt so in today's highly mercenary, highly selfish society in Singapore. People with conscience, people with empathy are harder and harder to find nowadays. I remember in primary school, we had to go through Moral Education. But the education minister has taken it out of the syllabus a few years ago to cater to more 'practical' subjects. Parents are also too busy making a living now to educate and bring up their kids properly.

[Heathx]

Well, if he crash and he burns inside of his vehicle, then sua, case closed. If his car crash, and burns, but he gets out alive, i also still happy, knowing a bunch of his money went up in smoke, and that he prolly still have to service his remaining years of loan and will be without a car for a while. But failing crash and burn, then i hope he kena caught by TP when he chut this type of stunt again, and kena banned from driving. Last scenario i hope for failing all of the above is he bang a cab, and then when he spin out of control, he bang another cab or 2, then let the cabbies claim him until his pants drop.

 

I know i now damn black heart, but lives at stake on the road. I riding carefully. he cause my accident and choy, but if something happen, it's my family and i suffer, not that $@$.

Sometimes i really wish i'm driving a 5 tonner whenever i encounter inconsiderate drivers. Met at least 3-4 of them a day alone

 

Just because i ride a bike doesn't means they got the RIGHT to go against the traffic and go into my lane, or squeeze into my lane and try to make me fk off the road just because their lane is blocked.

 

Best part is when i stared at them, they give me a "what-have-i-done-wrong-look"

I have that thought before too. But instead of 5-tonner, it's a freaking Leopard 2 tank. Crush 'em, Push 'em, Shoot 'em in the butt!

 

Am seriously considering getting a GoPro3 now despite the costs.

Think $500 plus is the black edition. I might be getting the silver one. Seems good enough.
