[Blogs] Today while riding...

[SparkerS1]

And I realised I am back in Singapore where bikes are not given the space and respect as another road user.

normal, i nothing to say liao, happening everyday

One motherfcuking SP rider with original paintwork overtook me on the left so damn closely when I'm already in the left most lane.

stupid act done:angry:

The drivers here seem in a hurry to kill us

i agreed, time for us to kill them:angry:

sheesh why can't they smooch in appropriate places.

both u and ur hubby riding? power.

ask ur hubby to tell them wind down the window n give the guy a punch, see whether they can continue to smooch

on singapore roads . . bikers are almost non existence . . . .

 

today while riding as usual with my atgatt altitude, i wore my fullface, amoured glove and jacket then got one family sitting behind on a pickup. One of the child who is sitting behind saw me (i dont do lane spitting, normally i just follow car backside) and at that moment i could see a glimmering light from his eye. after that he turn to his sister, and from his lips, i could see he said "wow something". oh dear, today i had impressed a young one. of course i was feeling dam song and was grinning under my fullface helmet. of course after that, i ensure the right lane was clear, safetly all done and i bent down like poser and throttle off hard =) (although that was like from 80 to 100 hah)

2day otw home, riding tru heavy traffic at pie towards jurong, i almost met with an accident. was in between 1st and 2nd lane. speed was 90km/hr. a sports car frm 1st lane suddenly jerk out towards 2nd lane. 1st of all he nvr signal. 2ndly theres no way he/she can even squeeze to the 2nd lane coz theres not alot of space in between cars. 3rdly the driver had to jerk out bloody fast w/o warning when i was nearing. it looks like he/she did that on purpose. things just happen to fast that all i cud remember was i pressed my rear brake too hard, fishtail abit, nearly hit the bckside of a bmw which was on the 2nd lane, end up on the 3rd lane, leg shivering..

thank god i was alert under the scorching sun. shades do saves lives

Good to hear you got out of that all right. Try practising braking more, without using the rear brake, so that in an emergency situation, the natural and instinctive way to slow down/stop is to use the front brake which is more effective. cheers.

[xiaobanz]

Actually the 2 finger braking is good for emergency use on the road.. But when i went to take my 2A got scolded for using 2 finger braking.. haha..

Today, for the first time in 2 years of riding, I nearly wanted to kick the doors of a car in.

 

Cut into my lane without warning and started squeezing me to the side of the road. Hit the brakes and let him through and then pulled up alongside the guy and gave him one long hard look... and he act blur.

 

And I realised I am back in Singapore where bikes are not given the space and respect as another road user.

 

welcome back Raptor.

 

do remember to constantly remind urself, b4 u ride off, that u will need to be 1000times more vigilant when riding in SG than u were back in states.

That was just a greeting.

 

Anyway,

 

Welcome to the land of mofocagers

Such a lovely place, but u ain't got no place

 

U can check out anytime you want,

but you can never leave....

the road was congested and this female driver trying to go left into the filter lane.

and obviously i was already infront of her. looking through the mirror she was just inches away from my bike. gave her a stare as she was damn close to me.

while concentrating on the traffic ahead, suddenly felt a bump to my rear wheel. thank goodness its slow traffic so did managed to control my bike.

i would totally react differently if i had not been fasting and was kinda late for work. gave her another stare and off i went.

 

please ride safe guys, just beware of female drivers.

I had too much fun at Pasir Gudang track today. Was nice to meet up with old friends and ride the track after a year.

 

But the humidity was killing me. Never sweat so much in a long while.

Now sitting in front of the computer and feeling so stoned.

Better drink lots of water then. Don't want you to be stoned and later on faint from delayed heatstroke...

thought i just share this with u all:cheeky:

[YahooRider]

So cool the bike with flower

[binkaz]

kena from a black mazda 3 before..

 

on a single lane, he purposely squeeze me to the side.. saw it coming, picked up speed to stay in front of him

 

after that at traffic light, i confronted him... guess what he said...

 

" NOT HAPPY TAKE MY NUMBER GO REPORT LA"

 

BLOODY MF! still come out of his car wanna challenge me..

 

I've given thought about it... next time this happen to me, i'll just follow him and find out where he always park his car at night (season parking)

 

anyway i dun think there is any use reporting cuz there is no evidence.. sigh..

[YahooRider]

Indeed tio bully for nothing and act like a bully. this kind of pple report also no use. Either forget about it or revenge at your own way. But revenge here and there it will nv end. However do wat u need to do at your own responsible.

Had 2 close calls today.

 

1st one was in the morning, it just stopped raining, on my way to work, a car E-Brake infront of me, I also Ebrake, and fishtailed. Unfortunately didn't fall.

 

2nd one was on the way home. I was about to change lane to the right, when the car infront braked heavily. I was busy checking my mirror & blind spot and didn't see it, until I turned back a split second later, (Heard a horn on my left) I was shock to see the car less than 1 bike space infront of me. Luckily I was already prepared to break right and avoided the collision just in time.

You have my sympathy bro...

2 options... (a) take out helmet and smash his face in (or contibute paint remover on his bonnet), or (b) let it go.

for me, always option 2... cause i have a life to lead... this fella ask for it, one day will get it coming to him. chill.

[ChaoPuzzy1968]

me too.... but not posting it up

Yesterday while riding,

 

I was at the traffic lights waiting for the green arrow to make a right turn. There was a taxi in queue behind me. As the lights for the oncoming traffic turned to amber... I could see a Super4 attempting to brake.

 

I could see that the front forks were bottomed out and hear the squealing of the front brakes but the bike was not slowing down fast enough to stop so the bike shot through the red light. Reason for failure to slow down in time... you should see the size of the couple on the S4. Made it look like a Honda cub with the 2 BMI failing, excessively underheight lumps of lards on board..... talk about mass and accelerations and Newton's Law.

 

Needless to say, the taxi driver had to horn at me for not moving the moment when the turning green arrow came on. One second also cannot wait!!!

 

It was obvious that nondescript son of a thousand fathers could not see the events that were unfolding before the green turn arrow came on as a minivan was on my left and blocking his view.

 

After the S4 'rumbled' past the red lights with its heavy cargo... I turned around and with my hand asked the taxidriver what the horning was for???

 

The lying piece of chickenshit pointed to the S4 that had gone by as if to tell me that he was horning at them for shooting the red lights.

 

Ya right... and his mother was a virgin too.

Didn't you know that taxi drivers here think they're like Gods on the road?

 

Betcha he thinks his name is Jesus.

I have seen heavy cargo on even smaller bikes like the kips & cubs. i really pity the bike because from the rear, you can only see the wheel. had incident w cab as well yesterday but alas its always e same thing. these days i hv been smacking ppl's car mirror (only a couple of times delibrately hehe) cos really getting sick & tired of idiots & somewat can't be bothered now cos my mirrors are already scratched anyway...ok i know tat's really sucky of me....i anticipated some 'stoning' from forumers but am tat PISSED off w drivers these days

Go easy girl.

Vent thy frustrations on the track... its a destresser for me.

 

Anyway, I just realised that I hear the sounds of horns being used whilst riding.... something I have not heard in my 2 years of riding in the USA.

 

People there don't use their horns simply becoz it could be the last living act you do. It is legal to carry firearms there.

 

When everyone knows that the other person could be carrying a gun... everyone is very polite to one another, they greet each other, stop their cars for pedestrians to cross the road at any place and not just the crosswalks. People don't stare at you or ask you what the @#@ you looking at but instead smile at you when you look at them.

 

So somehow I tend to believe that in order to have peace... there must be weapons.
