With the 'ban of sale of petrol on foreign vehicles' looming on Friday, 30th May 2008......

 

At 2am just now, i made my final way to JB for petrol. The causeway in both SG & JB is quite good flow. In all i was held up a total of 20 minutes.

I reached my fave JB petrol station, Mobil, for my last petrol pump there.. I bid my silent goodbye to the pump & went to wash & wax for RM35. Taking my last supper at the mamak stall with teh tarik from JB. It was bcoming unbearable to feel..

At 4am I made my way home to my SG. En route home i say my bye bye & waved my hand frantically in the air to the pump station that i frequents since 1997...It was close to tears, but it had to end sometime..It also brought an end to cheap petrol & blatant noise of bikes blaring its horns at the Causeway. From now onwards, I have NO more excuses to make my way down there. Not with its "50km banned ruling" that starts on Friday. 30th May 2008 will brought an abrupt end to my red passport & took away the sights & feel of the JB town & its people...

I bid my last sayonara with an ache to the heart, with holes in my pockets & mundane SG pump stations with audicious petrol prices visits next....

All goods would have to come to an end, S o M e D a Y...:cry:

 

can u feel my pains???

 

I bid my final goodbye with unforgetable scenes, For once the petrol kiosk was swarmed with riders, big & small cc alike all bidding their last goodbye to cheaper petrol & good food with laidback scenery & the blaring music(horns at Causeway will be a thing in the past for me)...A pic of thousands words as i said my final sayonara to the petrol kiosk i called my second home since 1997...

I have bid my goodbye, have u said yours???

 

a pic that speaks louder than words:cry:

Scenes at JB last nite, 2am at Mobil

Dengan akhirnya hari ini, marilah kita bersamerr-samerr mendoakan

AL-FATIHA atas kepergian yang tak diduga dan yang serta-merta.

Salam takziah diucapkan kepader stesen-stesen minyak di JB dan salam perkenalan antara pump pump minyak singapura dan bank/beg duit/wang simpanan kami. Semoga Goverment Malaysia bahagia dengan keputusannya - bodoh.

To ride on the road, You need skills,Stamina, or even luck.

 

But to be a good rider, you have to change with your environment,and adjust yourself to its rhythm.

 

Cultivate the confidence to face the different situations. Don't let yourself to be subdued by the environment :thumb:

Seems like the same story abt the abolishement of white cards when it was introduced....here say this, there say this...all decision was sudden so rumours tends to linger

can bring back the burger but cant bring back the ambience
