Yeap..the diff is less stressing on the body, but he wind is diverted to me head instead. Cant actually bend down cos if i do so, regine really gng to to play para-biking

yah - the wind will be deflected up to your head instead. But your body is lanky, it'll take a really high windshield to deflect wind up above your head leh... e.g. like those big shield in Harleys, TP's or ST's... ... but it'll look "opiang" in S4 lah.

I find that if it really deflects wind above rider's head, rider may feel warmer 'coz less wind will pass through to reach the rider.

Recovery of Silvera to Sgp

 

Find something special can already- but not providing any "specials" hor!

 

The truth I went up there to see if its feasible to dismental the wire fence for towing! Then I turned and saw a rope tied to a young tree (for support). So got Arsenz up, sit on his shoulders and he lifted me up to the tree-end to untie.

 

We managed to got ourselves a 2 meter, but thin rope! Well- better than nothing.

chao it could not be as bad as us. we used a hose from a toilet as a tow line. erm u noe the hose used to wash ur arse?

yah lor - It all started in our day-trip to Malacca where all the Cls2 bikes park one side (or if S4 mus have full system to qualify to park with them). Then all S4 kenna park beside the long-kang with dog poop here and there...

Never mind - we all get ready liao - but mus wait for the Dua Gu riders to take their time to wear their gear !

 

see? you can't see any Cls2 bikes here right?

ESR weekend day-trip to Malacca (07Jan07)

 

Those who went: Kelvin & Clair (Dowager), Manzz, Arsenz, Draught & Regine, Whisperer, Oreo Corinne, Tukimin & Joyceline, Norman, Magnet & Irene, Wan & Elly, ChaoChao

 

The day started with everyone meeting up at GP 0730. Earliest to arrive was Magnet with Irene. It was first time for Irene in a long-distance ride, but pai-seh, not everyone was punctual - esp err... the author of this report! The whole convoy left for Pagoh first while I tried to catch-up.

 

We went from Pagoh straight to Malacca at speed of estm 150kph. During this journey, I got confused who's riding what! Suddenly I saw this hunky rider on a SpecII which look like Arsenz's - I waved at him but no response, so I thot it was someone else not from ESR. Before I knew it, I saw FiFi, but the rider was wearing striking blue jacket - and it was Arsenz!

Then further down, I saw a rider with striking red Komine jacket - thot it was SS, but turned out to be Corinne! Then it was Mag was riding Kaya and dunno who was riding "Ta De Ma"!

 

We reached gantry of Malacca where we stopped for a while because FiFi has a loose hugger! Thanks to SS's keen eye which spotted it!

Once we parked our bikes behind a famous Hainanese Chicken Rice kpt, we went for lunch. All had Chicken rice while Manzz and I indulged ourselves in Assam and Baba laksa (sedap!). Later, all rendevous at the Jonker's Dessert for good old favorite Chendol! Having our stomachs filled with good food, it didn't take long before most of us were fighting Z monsters! Its all fine sunny weather, and sitting in a cozy place just makes the body lurthagic.

 

Next, we strolled through the Jonker's walk as Mag and Irene has not done it before. Some had Gui Ling Gao while the rest have Tart-Tart's famous ... well... egg-tarts, of course!

Around 3pm, we set off from Malacca town to SGP.

We took pics while waiting for the "highnesses of Cls 2s" to wear their gear!

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e297/chaoSq2/ESR%20day-trip%20Malacca%2007Jan07/DSC00851a.jpg

 

The fav habit of ESR - taking pics! See- there's FiFi!

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e297/chaoSq2/ESR%20day-trip%20Malacca%2007Jan07/DSC00853a.jpg

 

It was OTOT when on the way back to SGP although no one went on their own. At least bikes travelled in pairs. Wan's Silvera went into some trouble when she gave out white smoke and burnt EO smell. While a few of us had already ahead, Blue, Tukimin, Draught, Arsenz and myself managed to stop to assist.

 

Thinking it was an over-heat problem, Arsenz and myself stayed behind with Wan & Elly, while the rest went off first (as next day is a working day). Wan managed to restart the bike after cooling down for a while. Went quite quite a distance before it went "ka-poot". Silvera was really down. Exhaust emitted lots of white smoke.

 

It was already approaching 6pm and we need to get back before dusk. First we tried the "one-leg-tow" method, but the up-slope proved difficult. Later we managed to salvage a rope from the trees by the road side (read previous thread for details).

 

Tied Silvera with ChaoChao's bike. We are just about 1.2 meters apart! So we proceeded slowly at first. Wan went on the first bike while I on Silvera (first time riding her, but w/o engine on! hahah). We did abt 50 to 60kph before reaching Machap.

 

Just before reaching, I hand-sign to Wan to "carry on all the way to GP. But suddenly, i felt a jerk and we both went a lot faster! Alamak - Wan interpret my hand-sign as "Go faster"! and man! we were doing 100kph and even can overtake other cars!!! with a tow distance of abt 1meter!

 

While travelling, Wan still can glance left and right - enjoying the scenary, while I was scared sh*t entire journey trying to be ready for any e-braking - and looking at "his butt" to make sure tow line does not deviate too much from the centre!

 

As we didn't set any protocol hand-signs before the tow, so we often confuse each other. E.g. Wan tried to tell me to on his Silvera's hazard lights, but I was trying to tell him - I dunnow where his headlight switch is and it may drain his battery if I did on it - now, can someone tell me how to hand-sign "battery"!!? hahahaa...

 

The most dangerous part of the tow happened at the bend after exiting main NSH exit (intersecting Kulai and Skudai). There was a bend before hitting the toll. As our tow line was very short, I was trying to signal to Wan to slow down. But we can't get our comms right - and before we know it, he brake and bank right - I can't follow - swung left - almost pulling Wan off balance! In split seconds, the rope snapped! Phew! that was really close. Instead of being shocked, I got down from Silvera and can't tahan at our hand-sign confusion and laughed so hard tat tears came out! But that was really some action!!!

 

By the time we reached Sgp customs, the rope snapped 3 more times. Each time it snapped, the shorter it became. So it was finally less than 1 meter of tow length after clearing Sgp customs. After Sgp customs, we managed to get a reliable truck to bring Silvera to the workshop.

 

Thanks to you ESR (u know who you are) for your concern and SMS.

Thanks to Arch who helped to link up the tow truck who is also the same chap who towed Manzz's Mandy after the 1st Malacca incident.

 

I'd say it was really an adventure - one that's without any frustration or disappointment - but one that's thrilling, funny and have a happy ending!

Like how we often put it - we leave no man behind, no matter how difficult.

UPz to ESR spirit!
