haha oh well u nv know if he's into SM! keke

 

so prep ur bike for this wkend?

Yesterday evening, along Jalan Eunos, while riding the DRZ, bike started to stall and jerk coz ran out of fuel. Moved left so as not to block traffic whilst I turn the fuel tap to 'reserve'. Traffic very heavy that time.

 

Was slightly in the bus lane, so accelerated along the yellow line to filter back out of the bus lane again and then I saw the fella on the side of the road. Notebook in hand and looking at me. Dunno if he got book me for riding in the bus lane or not.

Money not the issue but I don't want the points.

 

Can appeal anot coz my infringement into the bus lane was not intentional?? Anyone ever kena the same thing and appealed before??

 

Lass - not able to bring the DRZ up to Sepang. The sub rider has to work and also the bike is not run in yet. Are you going too??

I shouldn't be riding back today.

 

I waited for the rain to stop and I rode through the peak hour.

 

I had a feeling something would go wrong. Awfully wrong. True enough. Errant taxi drivers that cut lanes. One part was on River Valley Road and a taxi got tired of waiting, cut out of lane quickly and almost hit a Kup Kia.

 

Another part was on Napier Road when I tried to filter into an empty lane, a MPV behind me tried to muscle in too. One more inch left and I could have kissed it's fender.

 

And last but not least, Dunearn Road. So jammed. From that underpass near Serene Centre to as far as my eye can see!!! Slow crawl all the way!!

 

:mad:

 

I left was 6.35 pm and I reached home was 7.11 pm!!

 

Today is one of those days that I feel like killing a lot of those motorists :mad:

[Lass]

it's crazy traffic when i left at 7, all the way jam and i was hardly in any lanes. cars cutting here and there so frustrating....notice tat thurs always like that if not it's the wet road....sheesh

 

at one instance i got stuck behind a lorry and a cab cos the gap was too small to pass thru, the nice cabby steered a bit left so that i can pass thru, i tried to nod in appreciation but not sure if he saw it.

Ride up with the group I will be with, slow and steady at 120 -130KMH only with 3 rest stops thrown in. Surely you can keep up with a KR150 right??

 

Will be an enjoyable stress free ride, I assure you.

Meeting at GP Esso at 5.45AM. Hopefully to move off after all the wayanging at the station at 6.15AM.

 

Really hard for me to believe you don't ride at 120 -130KMH. On the straight open road of the NSH.... should not be difficult to get use to it.

This morning is so much better. I left a bit late but still managed to get to office on time. Especially Grange Road. Today no jam. I was able to go between 70 - 80 km/h and I didn't have to stop for the traffic lights because the lights were in my favour

 

:cheer:

 

I wish every mornig was like this. Not like yesterday evening....

You'll get the summons within two weeks. The last time I kena summoned for riding in bus lane, the fine was $120 and 3 points, I think. Can't really recall cos happened some years back. You can try to appeal at Traffic Police or write in. My appeal was rejected and the TP just extended the due date for me until I got my pay. Wasted my time, effort and petrol just to go personally to TP headquarters to appeal...

Just had a confirmation from a TP friend that there is no points but the fine is still the same.

 

Fine is about the price of a set of EBC HH compound brake pads for the front so I will just pyscho myself that my front brake pads are worned out after the last Sepang trip.

 

Anything, just to console myself for parting with $120. Sigh.

Not yet recieve the love letter from them.

 

But I might as well be mentally prepared to part with the money.

 

But then again.. I can hope that he may have not booked me at all.

[gohjohan]

Didn't have time to post. Yesterday morning, grey coloured Mazda MX 5 tailgated me at Holland Road. So I opened full throttle and tried to lose him but he kept up with my speed in the next few seconds!

 

So I changed lane and watched him overtake cars and squeeze into little pockets of space that I thought only a robot can do. With great precision.

 

It's a young chap that drove it.

When they lose all their front teeth and knuckles....then they will understand.

 

It is idiots like these that spawn the saying.... "He who laughs last, laughs the best".

 

Just let them be. There is an a****** born every other minute.

I am going to ge a FF for my Zed Guarantor too, FF really protect the head, but the problem is the cusion in FF helmet tends to stick close to the face thus its not so wise to put a make up on the face...

 

But asking a girl not to put make up & go out, seems like mission impossible
