honestly... my first bike, i conned it frm my dad...

 

my family dont allow me to get a bike license at all... so, no choice... i had to resort to these...

 

i saved 1k.. from working in KTV (now known as party world) during school holidays... used it for the initial down payment and insurance..

instalment was abt 100 for a loan duration of 3 years for a FR plate SP back then... got $93 frm dad to buy bus-pass for every mth to pay my instalment... and use daily allowance of $15 to save for petrol and cash card top up...

Went to the ATM, pressed $800, paid full cash for my left 3 years piaggio X9...

Used my saving to get a 1.4k SP and 1k insurance

Bought mine from a workshop.. like they find for me and I parked there for like half a year..

First payment was around 400.. then every month about 200 until the bike was fully paid around Jan this year..

Really worked many different jobs just for this bike, like overnight jobs..

 

Personally I think working alone for the bike is better, makes your bike much much more meaningful and more value.. all those hard work..

Sneakily took up class 2b. Half way thru spotted by dad and i told him i take license for fun only. He keep telling me not to ride bike day and night when he sees me with the helmet. When he say that, of cos i will say "okok. For fun only" then.... after i passed my 2b. I bought my first bike the very next day. Hahaha. He didnt know of cos.. until one day.. (oh ya. My dad is a rider too) while riding home, my dad rode pass me in the carpark. he asked me at night. You bought a bike? Of cos i deny la.. i told him that my friend put me as subrider and let me ride his bike as he is driving, nvr use bike already.. then he keep quiet.. 6mths later.. he asked. That bike is yours right? I admitted its mine, and he laugh it off. Phew. Now.. we will ride together sometimes to go makan. The feeling is kinda special and cool. Haha. Yep. Thats my story.. :beer:

U had to work at Pizza Hut for a few years... Only managed to own my first bike years after passing 2B. But its been a long way since then... switched so many bikes, but you always remember the first.
