And now for the answer to the below pics...

This comes from a cone ice-cream, use as a top to preserve the cream decoration on the top of the ice-cream cone

 

sorrie guys didnt took any picture of it as the 2 guys who bought it was done with the ice cream when we were still laughing and thinking of what the cover can be sub-use for

 

didnt bring back the samples too as the lady boss was busy trying to introduce us to her new waitress

 

looks like no one the winner of half a dozen of ice cream

Looks like we got to go back there to buy the ice-cream and steal glances at the Mei Mei who just started work... hehe

come come. all are welcome.

 

Myself n wife will be there anyhow. It's normal Sunday routine for both of us when she's down south.

 

Sun morning, i think not jam lah going into JB. But hard to say coz maybe those night-shift ppl just finish work, so go home to JB. Or, maybe a lot of sporean travel to JB early morning for shopping, makan. Sorry, I got no exp travelling on sun morning using the causeway. I always use Tuas. Distance may be much longer, but treat it as a ride lah.

Little Miss Cyclop gets 1st priority, then its a question of timing. I work Day, followed by Night and 2 off, fix rotation. This Sunday is the start of a new cycle, Day shift. By that sequence, next Sunday will be my 2nd off day. Sunday meetup that are arranged on my Day shift, the morning of my Night shift or the morning that I come back from Night shift, I can't join you Bro But if its next Sunday, ya, I'll be there Answer your question ?

[SDR]

Okay, thanks... I will use 2nd link... c u there at 1000hrs and I will move off 1015hrs... time waits for no1... for those who are interested. see you guys at 0900hrs GP Petronas, those waiting at ESSO will go to the Fake Ah Soon BKT at Kulai... kekeke...

 

PL, have you heard of the Lobster farm in JB? If weather permit, I will ride there on Sunday after BKT session... I am not a fan of Lobster just curious if there's really such place in JB.

Sorry, sorry, I mean 0900hrs, move off 0915hrs, think should reach there 0955hrs, park bikes and enter Ah Soon Resturant should be 1000hrs. Correct?

 

May be not exactly lobster farm, just some traps set up there and 2-3 resturant and a rest house there according to my map unless the map has gone mad...

SOME INFO ON BMW... this is super interesting...

 

BMW is the only current major manufacturer to reject the use of telescopic forks on its big bikes. Yet BMW was the first to use and patent them, on the R12 in 1935.

 

Although BMW claims it has been making Boxer twins continually since 1923, production stopped for a few months in 1986 when the company decided its future lay in triples and fours. Customer outrage persuaded the Germans to restart the twin-cylinder engine production lines.
