[Blogs] Today while riding...

[s4dreamer]

Ya that was what i learnt from my last mersing tag team trip... daytime easy to keep extreme left... night i don't really dare... i just straddle near the white line.... cannot see anything sia....

 

From far see rear lights then u go closer you realise its a huge lorry.... holy crap!! :eek:

 

I know what you mean, Chris.

 

I personally only have ridden on the NSH at night once. And that was it... But I've done night riding elsewhere.

 

It's pitch-dark. Cones to look out for, vehicles who are U-turning in front of you, those heavy vehicles with lights that are not bright enough for you to see... road works, etc. etc.

 

And yes, I don't keep extreme left at all too! I move left and move right to see if there are other bikers or cyclists on the extreme left of the lane as well. Then, lane split.

 

worse is those msia bike with spoilt tail-lights!

Umm... actually, that's quite a common sight on M'sian roads.

 

just remember on NSHW, pls keep at the extreme left lane at all times, the rd there is not SG rd:)

No need at all times... But but, you must be really sure that you can out-cruise them if you wanna be on the outer lanes... I'm always on the outer lanes, I only move in when there are rare occasions that cars are going 180km/h and above. Unless, I'm riding a Blackbird or Busa... Since I'm riding a s4, better not play lah...

Thx for sharing deb....

 

Ya keeping to the left is actually for safety.. some cars come from behind very fast.... cannot see you...

 

What i don't get is some super sportsbike i saw travelling along NSH at night also think easily 200 plus.... well they have got to be!!! I was already maxed out at 140 at certain times and i still see them ZOOM ZOOM as if i was standing still... Dare to go so fast man they all.... can't see anything man!!!

 

Anyway abit... does anyone know where to send XBOX back to microsoft for servicing or something?? I was happily playing when this happened....

Aiyoh, Chris, relax relax brother...

 

Actually... Chris... when you upgrade your bike already, you will understand these "super sportsbike" riders better. It's not that they are pushing beyond their limits. It's the bike's capability to do these kind of speed.

 

You don't even need to wait until Class 2 to understand this. Even for me as a Super 4 rider, 140km/h is only my cruising speed. And I'm not pushing beyond my limit. It's just that Super 4 is comfortable cruising at that speed.

 

I'm already considered as slow liao lor... The fastest I ever dared to try on the Super 4 was only until 180km/h. And that was it. I chickened out. I closed my throttle. End of story.

 

Just travel at your comfortable speed. And don't ever let anyone pressure you to travel beyond your limit. It's not worth it. Everyone takes time to grow as a rider. You will get there! I'm learning everyday as I go along!

dont like tat lehhhh!!!! but think abt it, other than track, i guess NSH is next best place to travel fast as the speed limit is higher and lesser cars...

 

its not trying to show off or wat if not why buy a class 2 bike, coz u like fast fast fast rite!! if they purpose zoom past u damn near, den probably they deserve to die lar... else . dot dot dot dot dot

 

and its always good to give ur bike a little treat above 8k rpm once awhile...

You're probably taking a bigger risk, maxing out your small bike at 140km/h compared to those sportbike riders riding well within their machine's capabilities.

Oh.. ah dui.... like that also can. :slapforehead:

[firefox87]

yesterday, while approaching another T-junction, this time from major road to minor, i saw a car slowing down and stop to give way to me. so i proceed to turn right into the minor road. i think the guy think too highly of mac riders cos i was turning slower than usual. and the scary thing is that as i was halfway completing the turn, the driver already started to move out!!! i quickly open more throttle and straighten up my bike and went totally wide to avoid my backside kena hit by his bumper. gosh! what was he thinking???

 

and i ended up almost going up the side pavement and was in a weird position already on the road. i turned back to hurl vulgarities but the guy waved at me apologetically. i just shaked my head and continue my ride. i'm just feeling lucky not to get hit. the thing i couldn't understand is that he stopped just nice behind the white line as i approached the junction but he still moved out as i made my turn. i feel as if he's trying to kill me. or am i thinking too much?

 

and yet again, work 19 hours within 24 hours with a 4 hours of sleep in between.

Hey, there are a lot of touring groups you can join. And from there, you can start off your touring career!

 

If it's a short tour, it's definitely cheap. If it's long, be prepared to spend quite a lot! It's all in the name of love for touring!
