Speedpass - why not go bk and ask them why like that?

 

these days i leave house slightly earlier and traffic's a breeze so much so that that MPV was speeding big time and along keppel rd limit at 60, he must hv been at a hundred cos i know i was abt 80. traffic light i can squeeze in front and noticed that he oso hv to stop at traffic, speed so fast for wat oso hv to stop at traffic. driver got a blardy smirk look on his face...so arrogant. Next traffic i changed lane in front of him cos i hv to turn and i was already on the outer of the left turning lane and he can still come up beside me to turn just because he wanted to turn when i was behind a minivan. can't he wait? must be rushing to office to lau sai or wat

On the way home just now.. saw a Phantom with a Monokey box doing at about 100kmh taking the corner from KJE to BKE. Weaving in and out of the heavy traffic even.

 

Gave me a fright when he overtook me real close. His rear suspension was working full time and the bike was wobbling in the corner but he still kept the throttle wide open. Full marks for guts!!

 

Musta have been in one heck of a hurry. Hope he gets to wherever he is rushing to safely.

Maybe its my frenz.. Tat time i riding SP.. also cannot catch up with him.. not becoz of bike.. is becoz of rider.. i not as hiong as him

Hey Princess! So I finally met Ed. You should have been there to ride on the track too. Was not crowded at all.

 

The sweet young thang that Ed met will PM you. Newbie to the forum.

 

Sepang was......what can I say?? Orgasmically delightful to say the least. Beautiful weather on both days... track was not crowded at all... the most was like 30 bikes on Saturday and about 40 plus on Sunday. Rode a total distance of 120km on Saturday and 80km on Sunday on the track.

 

The highlight of this trip.. I am finally sliding the knee sliders at will even at the high speed corners at Turns 6, 7 and 8. I must be going faster than the last trip there.

 

Being able to slide the sliders at will, and not inadvertently, is a very big confidence boost for me and a big step forward in my personal pursuit of carrying high corner speeds. Working on it. One step at a time.

yeah man...haiz always wanted to ride on sepang track keke.....one day i hope...

 

oh the gal is newbie, ed said that i know her and confused me keke.

 

well sounds like u had a great time but arend got rear ended and i hope he's alrite cos i think he just fitted the exhaust or something, ed was telling me. think going to cost him a bit to repair.

 

well raptor must be such thrill to grind ur sliders. wish i could do that and if only rossi could impart just 10% of his skills to me heehee. ed kept his first pair of slider though he sold his old suit. was his virgin knee slider experience haha.

 

i hv to say that u r addicted haha but u r really v diligent.

 

okie here goes me the complaint queen.....i got pushed out of lane again (i was in the ctr of my own lane).... by taxi this time. signal come in and i horn him and he still continue to do so and i ended up in the next lane....cars always anyhow change lane right turning from shenton to keppel...these blardy arseholes....

My Dear Princess,

 

The borderline between diligence and insanity is very vague.

 

I put on a new set of Diablo Corsas on April 17th....... they are totally worn at the sides now. Very expensive insanity I have.

 

Is there any counselling service for people like me??????

Totally WORN???? 2 weekends ago at Pitstop, I figure they would last you 6 more trips to PG......Damn!!!! Ha ha ha!!! U r insane!!!! And a great consumer in the eyes of tyre manufacturers

 

Knee sliding already......I guess I'll be riding behind you afterall, RS or no RS..... Too bad, at my stage of life now, I can never be like you.

 

Given that you ride your DC at the correct PSI, 200km of trackwear is a good distance I guess.....

haiz....... sad tin happen 2day.....

 

while ridin home after havin lunch wif my wife this afternoon, saw frm my mirrors that a young chap with a white helmet and black visor on a silver kips (p-plate somemore) didnt on his headlight.

 

when we stop at a traffic light, as a kind soul, i say to him: "brother...... u didnt on ur headlight"

 

then guess wat he reply?

 

" Guan ni pi shi" (none of ur business - in chinese)

 

then he rev loudly and speed off, leaving a heavy smoke of 2T......

 

wat is the world becomin to? tryin 2 save a guy frm a $40 fine for not switch on headlight..... in turn got this type of treatment......

 

dun noe to feel angry or sad......

[NoLogicOne]

*pat*

 

It's okay.....nowadays, ppl are just too weary of other ppl........and sometimes they would put ppl down by threating them badly. In your case, maybe he cannot afford to look stupid just because you reminded him in goodwill, that's why he gave you the showdown. He would secretly thank you when he turns on his headlights, and minutes later only to run into a TP/ROV or a roadblock......

 

I remind riders of unstow sidestands, roadusers of forgetting to turn off stray turn signals, and answered with thanks and "Your problem???" looks......

 

Dun stop being nice, as it could save them from trouble!!!! I'm still thankful there are ppl like you to remind myself of unstow sidestand and stray turn signals.

 

:cheer:

Neither.

 

 

But feel vindicated when, seconds later, that KIPS punkhole gets pulled over by Mr Teep, who then proceeds to fine his candy ass for being a hero riding w/o lights.

 

:lol:

 

 

Aaahhh... the sweet fantasy of retribution and come-uppance. :P

Arrrrgghhhhh!!! You shouldn't have done that!!!

You have shown a fibre of the possibility of being house trained.

 

This fibre would be exploited to reveal even more fibres which would then be wound together to form the very noose that would be hung round your neck to tie you to the kitchen sink!!!!

 

My friend... I weep for the passing of your track days.

 

Ed, act insane or whatever. Go into a frenzy whenever Lass brings a broom or mop near you. Tell her you have an adversion to cotton cloth and water!! Tell her anything!!!!

 

Many of us men were born free... but married away our freedom!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wahahahahahahaah!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Princess Lass and ladies don't flame me ah!!! I only joking.. OK??

Take care Princess... good thing nothing untoward happened to you.

Footpegs and rear sets can be replaced.

 

What to say... it is an MPV that broke your pegs.. it was an MPV that knocked my bike down... looks like these vehicles are too big for the idiots to judge correctly.

 

Anyway, Boon Siew just quoted me that the cost of replacing the fairings that were cracked in the incident. It all comes up to $2973, GST not included yet. Now waiting to see what his insurance company, AIG, will say.

 

Anyone knows about this insurance company called AIG?? Reliable or play smelly type?? Hope I don't have to engage a lawyer to fight this case.

Brought my bike down to Boon Siew yesterday for the AIG surveyor to take a look.

 

First thing he said to me was no need to get a lawyer. His client has accepted full responsibility for the accident. He said there will be no repairs or respraying done on the fairings since the bike is only 7 months old. Everything will be replaced as per the quotation by Boon Siew.

 

Now I just gotta wait 3 to 4 weeks and my baby will look like new again!!! :lovestruck: :thumb:

So Mon still onz???? Monday I dun think I'm needed to do housework, ha ha ha!!!!

 

Good for you that you will have the bike as per brand new. Try to see if you can keep your existing fairings. DeusExMachina gave a good suggestions of keeping that one as a race fairing......

 

By the way, when did you have that Yoshi sticking outta your bike's arse???? Damn.....very envy leh......

Good for him.....and also he's lucky to have a biker as his wife.....once he's done with his house commitments, he can go play.......at least. I have to stay at home for the time being, and need to plan my track 1 month ahead...... And once a month.

 

I was drooling today when 2 colleagues invited me for a KL ride next month. But it's over the weekend, so for me, no chance......one of them is married with a kid, while the other bochap his GF just go, ha ha ha......Guess I have to wait for my time. Wife very unstable mentally these few months. Needs lots of my attention.......hai.......

 

Look at the bright side, I can save on tyres, gas, milage......yeah, crap excuses not making me too happy either, ha ha ha!!!

Yesterday afternoon, I rode my bike to visit a winery by the lake (to buy wine, not to drink lah) about 30 miles away. The weather was very sunny and fine. But the moment I reached the winery, storm clouds gathered and a t-storm was imminent. My friends and I decided to go back town, but less than 2 miles into the journey, it poured and lightning was flashing all around us. I immediately stopped by the roadside and dashed for the nearest house for shelter.

 

To add insult to injury, my bike started running on reserve. My friends in the car eventually realised that I stopped and turned around to pick me up to go dinner. After dinner, when I thought the storm has passed, it started again and I couldn't collect my bike.

 

We decided to go looking for a gas station. Fortunately we found one about 2 miles away. The storm also subsided. But our joy was short-lived. The two main routes back to town was closed due to the storm. Some bridges were damaged and there are numerous fallen trees. We had to take an unfamiliar detour.

 

So we went back and I rode in the cold wind. To make it worse, there was a pretty thick fog and my high beam could shine less than 10 meters in front of me. I felt unsafe even at 20mph! We pumped gas and then went on our way home. We eventually ended up on some countryside roads that we've never heard of before. (Okay, we were lost. At least our gas tanks were full.)

 

After some "exploring" we finally made it to the main route back. But the lights were out and the road was slipper and winding (if it were during the day and dry, I would love those twisties). I went ecstatic when I finally see the road sign pointing to my town. Never mind that it said many miles. We gobbled up the miles at illegal speeds and finally made it back!

 

What a crazy day riding in the States... Will update when I ride to Toronto and New Jersey.
