he could have been late and happened to cross paths with your journey. revving the bike before it moves off from a standstill increases acceleration. sometimes, unforseen circumstances project a stranger to be in the wrong but we will never know unless we were to question him personally. anyway, why was your friend chasing him?

he very lao lan.. the wind blow then his shirt fly up can see so many tatoos... got tatoo very big meh... his whole arm also have.. kns... he cannot possibly be late 1 la... if late he will not purposly ride beside and blow... so many lane y must take the same lane as my friend... bloody moron.. i used to like RVF.. but now.. duhzz

Not all RVF riders are Ah Bengs. Not all Ah Bengs are RVF riders.

Not all Ah Bengs have tatoos. Not all people with tatoos are Ah Bengs.

Not all tatooed Ah Bengs are lau lans. And not all the lau lans ride bike.

heh...used to ###### about every perceived irresponsible driver i met on the road...

but guess it's kinda numbed itself out. when someone switches lanes into my position i simply swerve away and forget all about it...

[Metalfyre]

next time i should use my phantom to blow blow some big bikes...see if anyone posts here to complain or not...

Like that... I will be pissed off every other day.

Same here.. me also numbed liao.

Sometimes I just overtake them and when they look at me... I just shake my head pathetically at them.

 

My good friend say that the world is coming to an end in 2012. Based on the predictions from some source... Sep 11 was predicted as correct. The Pope's death was predicted as correct... now there should be a super earthquake in Mexico...and I dunno what else.

Life is getting shorter... I need to play harder liao.

 

No point saving money... cannot take to the grave. No point getting angry with anyone...better to live and let live while you can.

 

Better buy your dream bike now.. wahahahahhaahahah!!!!!

Just now... coming back home from Motoworld in the rain.

Traffic light just changed to amber, I was about 40 metres to the stop line... I started to hit the brakes to slow down...check the mirror and saw this stupid van coming at me at quite a high speed.

 

Quick check of left mirror and swerved into that lane and stopped before the line. Van comes skidding past me and to a halt... at least 2 metres past the stop line!!!! Then quickly put into reverse gear and move back behind the line.

 

And the stupid driver had the cheek to give me a sheepish embarassed smile!!!

If I did not check the mirror when I hit the brakes...... I would have been lying on the road 2 metres after the stop line!!!!!!

 

Split second... a red haze descended on me... but I just looked at him and shook my head. Thanked the heavens for watching over me. Life is indeed getting shorter.

 

Fellow Biker Brothers and Sisters.... in heavy traffic, always do a quick check in the rearview mirrors when you are coming to a stop.... the guy behind you may not be paying attention.

Went to Sepang to play on the track on Saturday and today. Ride up on Saturday morning, start from GP Esso at 7.30am, first stop was Pagoh for refuel then to Seremban rest stop for brunch then to hotel at about noon. Rest for one hour plus then off to the track for the 2 to 5 pm session.

 

Play on the track for the morning session this morning and then ride back to Singapore from the track. Stopped at Ayer Keroh for lunch and top up fuel at Pagoh and again stop at Machap for a break then straight to Gelang Patah Petronas station for final refuel before crossing back to Tuas.

 

Riding a sports bike to KL can be really a pain in the butt.... literally!!

How do you guys break up your trips to and from KL?? Or do you guys do like what some friends of mine with iron butts do.... ride all the way, stopping only for fuel??

The tarmac at Sepang is smooth and the surface texture gives the tyres really good grip, unlike the 'slippery feedback' feeling one gets from PG. I feel more confident taking corners fast and low at Sepang then at PG. But then.. what is the comparison... one is a world class track while the other is not.

 

Sweet? When I did my first lap of Sepang... it was a nice feeling knowing that I am seeing the track through the eyes of the MotoGP racers....except in slow motion. Whahaha.

 

Will I go there again?? Yes... when the calluses on my bony butt peel off. hehehe.

One of my guys came and complained to me that he was booked by TP for wearing a tinted visor. Complained that he wore it coz the sun was so bright... yeah like he was carrying spare visors everywhere he went, one for day and one for night. Complained that the fine was going to be $50. I thought it was at least $70.

 

Wow, $50 dollars can get RM115. One 3 hour session at Sepang and still have petrol money for the session!!! Now just give to the TP, some more they won't send you a 'Thank you note'.

 

Guess what was my reply to him.

[Raptor]

On the way home along KJE approaching the turnoff to BKE... approached a Merc from behind and saw that it was kinda weaving slightly. As I was filtering left for BKE... I came up next to the car... and I saw the woman driver driving with one hand and looking at her handphone keying away. I slowed down and kept way to the left and watch in amazement as her car slowly veered towards the divider.

 

I was thinking boy oh boy... I am gonna witness one heck of an accident and slowed down like hell to avoid being a secondary victim of her collision with the wall.

 

She must have looked up at the last second and did a violent swerve to the right. The left side of her Merc grazed against the divider wall, sending out a fiery shower of sparks along with a screeching sound. Her car swerved across 2 lanes before she controlled it and carried on straight.

 

All I can say is... thank God I was not on the right side of her car or else I would be lying on the road wondering what hit me.

 

Now I understand why the police are imposing fine on drivers who make calls on their handphones while driving!!

 

Fellow riders... watch out for drivers like these... stay away from them. Riding next to them is suicidal.

Play on track until no more fuel!!!

 

You must have been enjoying yourself like crazy!!

 

I only used up half a tank... about 130 km burnt on the track... and I thought I was nuts already.

[Shay]

ooh...all these complains about the peak traffic mornin BKE and the terror cups. I didnt know they Dare to pick on Litre bikes?!

 

I use the BKE to KJE to work every morn too and boy do i hate it.

Can say i'm pretty used to this kinda squeeze-and-jump-Q treatment from those cups. But one particular morning weeks ago, i remember i wasnt in a very good mood. .. ANyway....this 2 stroker yamaha something was pulling the same stunt from behind me, swayin agressively left n right tryin to make a pass from me. But Uncle Wave125 infront of me is not moving any faster so i really got very agitated with the yamaha-something.

 

Then, The car on me right decided to make a lane change to the centre lane....i obliged and slow down for it to pass, soon as a rathole opened up from the car's wake , the 2 stroker yamaha reved its nuts off and went PREEEAAAA up beside my left ready to pounce and eat me with his 2 stroking bad-ass riding style.

 

EMotions was getting the better of me, adrenaline took over the right hand and before i knew it, i accelerated up the distance the yammy tried so desperately to cover in the attempt to cut me off.

 

By then we are both near the back end of another car and with my position firmly held right beside him in the "dotted-line" lane, I forced the yammy to jam brake and swerve right back.........serveral places behind me that is, as other cups had took the space he vacated earlier.

 

Wasnt as skillful to make him crash but it felt Great denying him the position he so ungraciously try to squeeze me out of. And at least i hope he learns that 400ccs riders are not to be trifled with either

 

But after that i was quite ashamed of my spontaneous outburst as a moment's carelessness and both of us might end up as windshield bugs. But it was therapeutic to say the least, i wasnt feeling pissed afther that!

 

 

(maybe its becoz i was so docile towards them in my daily commute that they think the red/white/blue bike i'm riding is very good to makan?)

[Raptor]

There goes my zero demerit points for the past 7 years of riding. Just recieve an invitation from the Traffic Police to contribute to their Year End Bonus Fund.

 

Ask me to contribute $150 and give me demerit points for straying into the road shoulder during the morning SLE to BKE traffic jam.

 

Only myself to blame. Now must change route and go by Mandai. SLE to BKE always jammed in the mornings and the tendency to ride on the shoulder is there. In fact it is safer to ride on the shoulder at that area... unfortunately we don't have bike lanes unlike Malaysia.

 

Now... got to wait one year to clear these stupid 6 points. Haizz... very sianz with myself for not keeping a good lookout. :cry:

Just saw a very fat guy riding a litre cbr, so action ba bie.....

 

Zoom pass so close to me exiting the expressway, so pissed already, then we came to a junction. Zoom off like he had just seen ghost when the light turn green.... then what happen? Got to stop at the junction in front too.

Did the same silly thing again.

 

Let me say this to you fat-black-bike-rider (try reading that fast), pick on someone your same size, don't think that smaller bikes can makan. I might not lose out on acceleration if I were to entertain you.

Have pity on his bike... it has to carry extra loads.

 

You did right by not reacting to his antics... not all litre bike riders are assholes.

 

Ride smart. Ride safe.

oh gosh why are u people so quick to judge others? i've learned from lesson that not all people who piss you off on the road do it intentionally. on a side note, picture a slow bike occupying the left side of a lane, would u slowly creep up behind him and

s l o w l y ease into his right and s l o w l y overtake him just so that you do not piss him off? and after that we could all go fly kites and go fishing together like good ol buddies. F*CK that i'll tear past him if i couldn't wait, i can't stand roadhogs when im late. its all good as long as i do not

 

1. coax him out of his lane

2. make him fall over

3. make contact

4. kill/ injure anyone directly/ indirectly

 

so put a sock in it harhar.
