Okay before i start, a disclaimer. This input may offend anyone of you, and if it does, tell me so i will edit. After all we are still a family. I shall say why i'm still here, even though i don't have a bike/license. I used to have one back in 07, oh and still miss that one. It's the one in my siggy and avatar. I met with an accident on Apr 27 2008. Some of you who can remember, good. If not then it's just extra info for you. But not to worry it's relevant to what i'm going to say in the next few lines. I'm not here to boast, gloat or whatever that i met with an accident and that i have, god willing, recovered from it. So much that i started to track abit and i started to get really into bikes. Not that i was not before the event, but even more because i realized that this was something that i wanted to do, or keep apart of for the rest of my life.

 

On 27th April 08, SBF cubs had a picnic event at East Coast. I still remember i was the few ones who went to buy ice back for drinks. on the way back, i met with that fateful event that still scars my right abdomen, a reminder. Was hospitalized for 2 weeks. In SICU for about 4 days, going in and out of consciousness throughout the whole time there. My right lung was half filled with blood (about 500ml of it), lacerated my liver and i permanently lost half of my right kidney. The thing about this accident was not the hospitalizations itself or not the speedy recovery i had. It was the support that i got from people i barely knew, people who i laughed and had a good time with, people whom i still wondered would be there for me when it was my rainy day.

 

What these people did while i was slipping in and out of consciousness really touched me. When i was down, now moderator ChipNDale started a thread to raise funds for me. He gave forumers updates on my recovery progress, and yes people did contribute. I tell you it was not a small amount. That moved me. But what really moved me was what people around me started to say, my family members. During the first few days when i was still in SICU and high dependancy ward, MY FAMILY had a hard time visiting me because there were so many people who wanted to give me well wishes! Who are this people? They are yes, our fellow SBF members. Because bikers have a heart. And it didn't stop there. Every other day, a few would visit me just to see how i was doing and sometimes when i open my eyes, i see people i don't recognise. Again, i'm not using my story as grounds for boasting. These people come just because they heard that another biker has met with an accident. This was the kind of rapport that we have built over that few outings every month. Some of us meet once in a blue moon but when we do, we talk like as if we stay with each other. Not BBM just close.

 

Okay so i'm wondering why the community now has taken a different turn? Is it the recent "trending" of memes that has made us troll more than usual? I would say we're not much of an online community but more like a group of enthusiasts. Yes u can use the internet to look up stuff and learn basics. But the world is your classroom! And trust me there's just so much to learn if you just sit down in front of the computer. That's why we encourage attendance at outings. Reason being, you get to see who's behind the computer and what their real names are. Whether they're handsome, cute, pretty or whatever. And also, during outings, people don't "troll" as much. Which simply means if your reason of coming to forums is to just get information and FO, your classroom just got more conducive. Yes there will still be those who come for 1 or 2 outings and leave but hey, A for the effort.

 

I can't compare then and now, what rapport we have built last time and what we have now. But what i can say is i do this not for validation of my skills or anything that sort. I will go out of my way if a fellow forumer genuinely needs help on his setup, or is clueless on what engine oil to use because he was using cooking oil before this. Just kidding. I don't help for praise. I don't help because i'm looking for something in return. I do this because it's my passion. I wouldn't know what i know now if not for kind gestures from other people, be it big or small. Info is still info.

 

So stop it with this "I taught you this, i taught you that" thing. I'm not pointing fingers but most of us here get the point. If we need to quote for every single resource or info we have, wouldn't it be like writing an essay? I remember i used to hate refererences when i do my essays. I still hate it. Information is free. We are the ones that put a price to it. And one more thing. Maturity isn't a measure of your experiences or your age. It's what you make most of your experiences and what you have learnt from it.

 

I still hope that this group here will continue to grow. I envy other groups who can have 50-100 bike outing at 1 month's notice. For our BBQ on the 28th apr, I forsee only the same handful of guys, mostly the regular ones. I hope more people can join because even though there will still be that regular group of guys, you won't know if u're gonna be in the group of regulars if you don't come down and try. We don't bite. So once again, do stop all this childish hoo-haa going on. We don't have leaders to tell us what to do here, i'm certainly not one and i'm sure we all want to be treated as equals. Nobody's a bad person. But u just don't put Chucky, Jason, The grim reaper and the whole gang of freaks at the entrance of Toys r' us if you want to entice kids right?

 

Peace. Sorry for the long, sappy entry which probably won't make sense in some parts. Tired from work lah. Again, this will just be a two-cents from me. It's still a forum so i'm still entitled to say anything i want as long as it doesn't violate SBF rules.

 

Goodnight people.

 

 

Who are you to say we are no more united, we still are and we, sorry i meant majority are also united against..... :p

 

 

 

Hi sayang, sayang belum tahu cerita. Nanti dah tahu, lain lah ceritanya.

 

 

 

Nicely said. :thumb:

 

All I want is Spankers to be like how they were back then in 2009/2010. That was united & peace loving. Unlike now. So many politics. Bike group also have politics. Wtf? :faint:

 

I may be much way younger than you guys, but i believe you guys can handle this matter in a better way. Stop the sarcastic remarks & slandering. When Ben & Hafiz had an issue, we told them to take it offline & not behave like kids. Then now what is this?

 

You guys need to talk things out. Enough of the good guy bad guy thing. I dont want in the future when we have outings, instead of one big group laughing together, we have two separate groups sitting at diff corners doing their own things. I got alot more to say but i feel we should take this offline & talk things out.

FTW & Duo, i am sure you two are matured enough to meet up & settle this. If can, bring down the whole spankers to settle this. Its not fair for them to listen to just one side of the story. I've listened to both sides & i hope the others do too before they judge whose right whose wrong. I am not supporting either sides & i dont wish to be sitting on the fence either. This problem shouldnt exist in the first place.

Talk things out? Ask Zam how i settled with him when i got pissed off badly at him when he buih-ed me. Ask Ben how i confronted him when he got on my nerves, ask Mail how i spoke to him when he made me super pissed off. Ask Hakim how i spoke to him when he needed somebody at one point of time. I can sit and talk things out, ask them, the bigger question is, is he willing to sit and talk, with a few of us at one time? The biggest question is, would he learn from it because you and i know it's not the first time. Oh and of course, to sit and talk/confront, you know you would be part of it right? :angel:

 

You can't expect people to behave the same way when they have realised the true colors of a person which is quite negative right? :)

True, may i ask? Tell me, what is the root of the problem? And of course, who went to the extent to do what he did until you told me this morning?

 

By the way, it also involves people in the other thread, not just us spankers so it would be right that they come down too. :p

Okay so now lets set the date, time & place. Meet up, let go all the frustations, admit mistakes, accept feedbacks/opinions with open arms, settle this issue once & for all.

 

I will come down too. Deal?

We are still united. Very much the fact that we try our best to accomodate each and everyone's character and views.

 

This may not seem relevant but I've been with the guys for what seems like donkey years now. Ever since our first humble outing at Kampong Glam cafe. We are still the same friendly, hilarious and silly lot.

 

This shoutout goes to a special someone who is well-known in this thread for being a keyboard warrior and is quite brazen with his posts. You know you've always had our support, well-wishes and prayers, before and after your mishap. Every single one of us made the effort to get you back on track. But if you persist with a childish cum emotional attitude and the mentality that you're never gonna recover, then you'll forever be in this veggie state my friend.

 

Yes, I'm loud. I'm open. I'm short. Though I may not be as fiesty as I am in person. I'm still direct and I speak my mind when I'm with the guys. And I'm always laughing. We all try to maintain a neutral stand. It may seem as if I'm aggrevating the situation, but sometimes, there is a need to knock some sense.

 

I know you're definitely reading this. Wake up bro. Nobody said life was gonna be a bed of roses. Forget the past and move on. If Hakim and the others can, why can't you? Be thankful that you're still alive. Others are not as lucky. It is not about hard you can hit, but how hard you can get hit and get up again.

 

I hope you're not too blind to see how your usually positive spirit plunged downwards after the mishap. If you are, it's about time you did.

 

You have our support. I know I offended you drastically in my previous post. I apologize. But, please take that as a wake up call for you to get your **** together and get your life back on track.

 

SPANKERS are family. If we ain't, we won't and couldn't care less about you. And quit that "I'm out" ****. That's my line! :D

 

WANSUEY!

This is an open apology to everyone I've offended ever since I stepped into this thread. I, Ben, would like to sincerely apologize and I am sorry for being rash and childish with my posts. Please accept my apology. Everyone.

 

To err is human. Sometimes I think I err too much. :D
