fried backside anyone?

[newcomer]

yo mel! i love the color settings! how'd you do it?

[bunny_hui]

Broz

Nice Picture !

[Mark C.]

The pictures so nicely taken & describe!!

At least for those who participate leave a foot print of their own in their short riding hood before they went to 4 wheels.

Good memory & story to tell.

[SK I]

Yes indeed! Hope to be joining the many trips coming soon

First to fix that leaking radiator

[ahzhua]

Hi

sorry for the inconvenience caused

ahzhua

[quizesilver]

Yes indeed! Hope to be joining the many trips coming soon

First to fix that leaking radiator

 

it it is due to chip from the stones.

maybe u can do some welding.

it can be done. shld be less than $50 including workmanship + flushing

 

at least this is done on car.

[Dom.C]

thank u crews for the fantastic trip! it was phenomenal. also thanks to a few bros who stopped to check out my bike prob, which in the the end turned out to be the cause of an empty tank... luckily still got reserve.

 

xgrind is right about the gears. before the meetup i was at the stables... which explains the weird attire. so if u guys see me in funny tight pants and kinky long boots, it's not because i'm gay ok haha.

You mean this attire?

[bikemel]

hi newcomer,

 

its done by increasing the exposure to adjust the brightnesss, then increased contrast to push up the black colors. then desaturate it to make it feel washed out.

 

hI Bunny, markC

thanks for enjoying the pictures. im glad you peeps like it.

 

cheers!

[y0s_bikey]

Chill guys, maybe dinie is just following the organiser's instruction on strictly no overtaking. well let me give some suggestions, in future trips on large group convoys. We will look into the matters and review on wats the best to suit all...

Maybe some infos for the DRZ guy, i actually went beside to ask him not to force the bike as i notice he was almost or Full throttle all the way... not to worry guys, we have last man aka sweeper and his buddy and markers, no one will be left behind. If you think that the cruising speed u are feeling tedious or the bike is stressful and u are in the midst of convoy, dun worry signal left and usher the rear guys to overtake u. once the marker or sweeper see u doing that, assistance will come. and all the misunderstanding can be avoided...

[GuiNNeSS]

the sweeper of the group as one of my family members was

Dear fearmenot and dinie,relax.It's not nice hoping others get hurt.Outings are meant to be fun.And we shouldn't disappoint the organizers by creating trouble ya?Having a few riders breaking the rules are inevitable.As long as it's not big horseplay,just chill.Join a few more SBF outings and you'll know the effort put in by the "workers party".All are adults,so ride happily and safely.

Cheers!

well said domchj46

 

SBF is a place that bikers all gather togather and thats where we make new friends and get to know each other. we learn experence everyday and from each other. the working party are try thier best to make it an enjoyable ride for every 1 as it is not that easy to handle a big group as every bike or biker have thier diffrent style in riding or thier bike limits.

Any way a big thanks to all working party for making it to happen.

sorry bro if i created a mess out of this. i honestly didnt mean to. but i treasure my life. thanks once again for the trip. i'd support you for another one if there was.

Enuff Zenufff............. :bounce:

[y0s_bikey]

Guys, allow me to clear this misunderstanding. Please forgive and forget... No one wanted all these misunderstanding... we are all here to learn and make friends... not foes... Everyone is learning... esp us the organising committee... We are still learning how to get things organised, and the best to cater for all...

Both party could be at fault, at the same time both party might not be at fault. Its just a different perspect of viewing scenarios... Most importantly if we are really at fault do learn from mistakes...

 

Im not good at phrasing things, neither a good peace maker... i've tried... and i sincerely hope the misunderstanding can be cleared...

 

P.S to involving personnels, next time round drinks on me! not ALL personnels hor... if not my pocket

haha lastly Chill & CHEERS!!!

[fearmenot]

Not u ppl's fault, like i said, we wan to enjoy and not get ourselves shoot in e back and we didnt know.. =)

 

 

cheers
