haha... no la... u remember the malaysian BMW biker? i met him in our refill stop way back hme.. n he told me.. he saw the key then took out n pass to the bell boy...

 

think mark too engrossed le la.. forgot to take out his keys...

[mamaqye]

Wah kao, I leave key in bike now everybody knows already huh? Scary. News travels fast! Must thank that Malaysian BMW rider who return my key, if not I think I take bus come back liao.........haha

 

Anyway, whens the next ride? I'm thinking like Taufik lets do more rugged touring i.e. sleep outdoors kind. More fun no?

[Guest xanc]

count me in!! but i tink i mite be going on a soft ride on may day to accustom to the bike before going offroad..

[mamaqye]

Yah, was thinking V-Strom was made with dual purpose in mind so we should go up some obscure hill/nature reserve that those sports bikes-types cannot go right? Haha……..

Let those fellas play the boring N-S h’way n speed like Rossi n endanger own life, we go climb mountain n forest…………..:--)

UNLESS of coz’ u r Superman (or Super crazy) rider like Taufik who overtake sportsbike convoy and race with FJR 1hour at 190km/h……………..ORANG GILA!!!

[Denden]

ooooh yeah!!!!! let us do some mass order for sleeping bags and tents....

Oh anyway guys, I saw a damn cool HJC full face at MOTOworld. Can switch between Off-Road n dirt and then remove visor can be normal full face! $160 only...........cheap. Got plain blue n 2 other designs. I bought the normal matt black full face though.............more suitable for boring guy like me...........heh

hey..

 

i was thinking of getting the same helmet too..

 

any feedback on it after using it for a few weeks?

 

$160 is it?

 

thanx!

[toobez]

an invitation..

 

greetings riderz of the strom..

 

on behalf of the outriderz i think it would be really great if we could meet up sometime and share our passion for enduro bikes and adventure touring..

 

most of us ride the vara125 although a large number have upgraded to bikes such as ATwins, Stroms, RTs, STX and so on..

 

i met my good friend al-simmons through there and also people such as byteblock, mamagye, desmokat, private_asylum and taufik..

 

we usually meet at least once a week for unofficial dinners and stuff and once a month for a big outing..

 

for today i'd like to invite you to a weekly topup / makan / lepak session at gelang patah RnR(SB).. we meet at shell corporation road (AYE > jurong exit 15A) @ 2130hrs and usually leave for GP @ 2200hrs.. and most of us reach back bout midnite.. some may leave earlier though.. this happens every tuesday unless canceled for some really really exquisite reasons..

 

do feel free to contact me(mark) @ 81634466 if needed..

 

thanx for reading!

 

peace

everyone's most welcomed to join JOM rides......HTNS is different rate but there's still plenty of goodies to make up for it, esp our luxurious back-up vehicle, ride t-shirts, event dinners, travel insurance, real-life medics, but most important is the gerek kakis esp A.W.L. n Aidi.....our next big ride is the 3NCR to KL in October 07......

Yah........ride into KL on 21st Oct can also watch MOTOGP. But I suspect there will be too many bikes PLUS alota bike thefts. If can, maybe rent van go in more feasible. Last year I didn't ride up but took overnite bus to KL then public transport to Sepang. BAD IDEA!!

 

We had to change the train to a shitty bus that took us to Sepang. No air-con, NO WINDOW plus cramp with smelly people.

 

This year either ride in big group or drive if car available.

[ibbster]

it's sure going to be jam-packed in KL during that period coz 3NCR is 19-21 Oct......

[mamaqye]

Thats right sir.........so maybe its smarter to take public transport or 1 van. Ride bike must worry bike stolen or find hotel with covered lot which I garuntee is dont have one. Haha.......... unless book n pay deposit now..........:--)
