DonDidie >> Fast or slow.. dun matter lar.. let's learn from past experience.. eg: the KL/Colmar trip.. as we discussed sometime back.. remember the KL split?.. break into smaller parties since the amount of riders joining in quite big.. the fast one pack.. the slow one pack.. but each pack got guide who knows the way.. Objective is that all the riders dun feel the pressure to adjust their own riding style but still able to taste the sumptous, delightful and incredible of NASI LEMAK KUKUS FROM KULAI!!!!

VARA brudders >> just sharing my 2-cents.. .. Open to any better suggestions.

Bro,

No need lah... Short ride only, its just 37+km from GP.. Just ride together normally sua. Those wanna clear carbon, carry on lah. Just head towards KL direction and exit at Kulai.. If you missed the exit, then can have Malacca Chendol instead.. hehehe.

bobos · June 27, 2008

ok bro.. no worries.. no need to put us up on pedestals.. i'm counting the days for your VARA to debut.. for now, dun horn to much.. you will trick oter motorists dat got trailer behind!!

"bleh rilek aper.. lu bleh rilek.. gua bleh rilek!"... that phrase stuck with me since Sunday sia.. Khe khe..

Good day Brotha YanCurly, my name is Bobos & wondering if you could tell me where to get the TRAILER like HORNS and installations??just got a used ride and the horn is pathetic...Looking forward to the HORN mentioned earlier and hoping for a reasonable quote??Thanking you in advance and looking forward to hang out and learn a thing or two from u Guys,tho my bike of a diferent make and smaller CC.

Bro bobos,

I can recommend a place for you to survey price of the HORN.. MUSTAFFA CENTRE! Our fellow brudder, Dinie bought one there which costs around $40/-. I think have a few models to choose.. so choose wisely your 'weapon'!!

Dinie( VARA-PADAWAN in training ) is riding a Suzuki GSR and also similar complaint. Our brudder, Joe_MacKint aka Joe recommend a reliable motodiam located at the famous Johor 'Lor Bapuk' motodiams stretch.. Went there during after midnight. After fixing, his HORN sibei loud.. I think its good if you able to see how it looks like. Need to ask him how much the 'damage' cost.

We have a nite-mkn trip tonite to Kulai. If you wana hang out with us, PM ur HP number. We are meeting at GP@ Petronas on 27/06/2008@ 2230hrs. Quite a number of VARAs riding plus a few other bikes joining in the fun.. Hope to see you there!

What? u gonna fix 2 horn like those u just install... only 3 word for u bro... LU SIOW AH!!! :bouncefire:

my advise, is...better get a reliable relay which can support both horn as i noe one is already taking up much power even when ur riding...

And also,,, pls dun ride near me..or behind my ride:box: ...

for yancurly, he got no excuse:slapforehead: . u must ride behind him:) !! if not..how to drive the mrt? he's the only driver and all passenger behind him wot:cheeky: !!! khekhekhekhehkehke:bounce:

varadero8212 · June 27, 2008

My front discs jammed on me the way home from JB just now. Happened near home....Phew! Luckily din happened in Kulai.

Funny thing is Pads are relatively new, changed before Colmar trip and not much mileage since. Then again, hopefully its just the pads. The last time, mechanic suggested servicing my pistons for the callipers. I din have the time for it and he just changed the pads. Looks like gotta get them serviced too. Any bros free, can kol me, i will be at hua chin in bukit batok......KC, how? hahahha

nah i dun think i'll be doing it.. nanti alternator meletup. btw... today no more MRT driver.. more like pump attendant. tukang jaga pump while waiting for His Royal Highness King Zac to arrive..

it was bad luck all the way for me jus now on the way home lar bros and sis'..

1) didnt noe chrislayer took a different route. so we seperated there and then and i had to go home alone. sob sob.

2) f*cking started raining when i reached persimpangan pulai. bloody raindrops were like stones on my arms man i tell u! then summore underwear wet. when underwear wet, morale down.

3) reach ESSO and pump. take shelter from the rain for a while. after shiok shiok relek for a while, happily start bike. kick down to gear one and move off. then kick to gear two. cannot kick! look down below and i saw that i broke my gear shift lever! pantat betol! so i shifted gears using my heel and went to lorong bapok to attach a long screw for 5 ringgit. cheap cheap for a job well done.

4) kk tot can go home peacefully already. reach sg immigration... JAM! again. but lucky i got BIKES. so no need to wait as long as the others. and here i am typing when i just reached home. WHAT A NIGHT!

to sideline abit though... the ayam power sia. nasi lemak i give 4 stars. great company, great food. what more can one ask for right? so where to next guys?

bro, i am really sorry, i tot u were following the same route since it was just a straight road ahead to jb...but then again i might be too engrossed listening to pink floyd, ratm, etc .......only the car headlights behind me made me realised that u were no longer behind...

Bro Zac,

I also experience a personal riding blunder.. if you can recall, David, you & me were last 3 riders from Gp@petronas.. after the toll, i tried to catch up with yous & David heading towards the bridge to Singapore. earlier before setting off, i placed my damp gloves onto the front dect space between my windshield & dashboard... forgot the windshield gt wind inlets ar..

so while riding on the bridge, one of the gloves flew off & dropped on the road...

i took a u-turn just before the Sing customs & wanted to u-turn again at the linkbridge halfway point... and i saw my glove opposite but too far back from the turning pt. have to travel against trafic flow...but i didnt

so basically, i went thru malaysian customs again minus the toll ( had to make an illegal u-turn). had to explain convincingly to the m'sian custom officers what happen.. lucky allow me in/out without needing stamping again.. finally got my glove back(for info I lost the same glove model once.. this is my second pair).. took a slow ride to sing custms & finally reach home tired but appreciative.. wet and hungry again.. khe khe..

Zac >> pls get your calipers fixed. same ting happen me oso.. if not, one fine day u 'll suffer like me.. remember my PIE accident.. one of the root causes cuz my calipers not function properly.. very dangerous esp if we sudden jamm break!

varadero8212 · June 28, 2008

Hi guys, got my bike towed to Hua Chin just now and got to find out that it was just a major and serious case of my wheel bearings chickening out on me. REally badly rusted and jialatly broken. Normal wear and tear.

The wheels bearings cause to tyre to misalign and therefore the brake discs started to rub the the pads. Amazing sometimes how things just go wrong.

Those going for the hatyai/samui ride, be sure to check on yours and carry spares just in case things do go wrong. Cheap fix. Bikes on the road again after $30(a set of new fibre wheel bearings) +$35(towing).

Cant imagine the towing cost more than the bearings. Sian. But what could i do? Din wanna risk it riding anymore. Things could have gone worse if i rode to hua chin.

So guys, anything happening tonight?????

Zac

varadero8212 · June 28, 2008

Just in case, you guys wanna see what the damage was like..
