[Blogs] Today while riding...

scubasimon · August 26, 2009

ytd while riding i cannot count how many fingers i showed, for the whole day..huhu! either they are blocking the riders' way while lane splitting or they are being really inconsiderate and/or incompetent..showed the finger alot during my ride from clementi to simei on pie, jammed, so lane splitting 90% of the way..not impatient or what..just a lil peeved over their whatever i showed the finger for..hurhur~!

today was only once..at a dumb cab..but forgot what..let's see how many more during the afternoon jam later

if you encountered what i encountered today while driving home, your finger will be sore :-) i was at upper thomson road, right lane, in stopped traffic. i let a lady make a u-turn (so at least she can move). but instead of making her u-turn, she stopped and completely blocked my lane, cos she wanna go to the left!!! stopped for 2 minutes! the traffic in front of my lane from completely stopped, to completely empty...and she is still blocking the lane. hahaha!

Well, I rode today to meet a friend and it was fantastic fun! The roads were very clear and nice...rode from upper thomson to sle, then mandai road, woodlands road, upper bt timah, hillview...and then back. very fun and relaxing ride.

Then, I drove out to meet another friend cos it was raining here and i didn't want my boots to get wet. and when driving back...teruk...after-office traffic...

...well...i blogged about it. Have a read!

today BEFORE riding...
found some low life stole my givi wind shield off my phantom... sianz...

hope he goes so fast it shatters and takes the top of his skull off... LOL

today while riding...

on the way home, i thought i'd try my luck around my neighbourhood to see if it was from my area

and LO AND BEHOLD!!! i actually saw it... you ask me how i recognize it, there were some chemical marks and scratches when i e-braked into the back of a pick up some months ago, attached to no less than another TA-200... repainted a shocking orange...

so called Yishun NPP and within 15 minutes they were there at 419A MCSP

took down my particulars and did a vehicle trace and told me to go home first as it could take a while

so i came back - barely half hour ago - and showered and waited for their call...

just my luck, they got the address but no one was in, so they couldn't interview the vehicle owner... haiz...

also they did explain to me and i do understand and agree that as it is a non-serial #'ed accessory unlike pipes and the like... it would be pretty difficult to have a case...

his advise was in future to silicone the allen screw areas as well as where possible to use different types of screws or bolt/nuts so they have a more difficult time getting the accessories you bought with your hard earned $$$...

Oh my! That's just across the road from my Block! And my is a Phantom too!

By the way did the bike have Green and Purple tire caps?

My got stolen.

heng u alright dude, as in no serious injuries or what. no damage to ur bike? wonder what bumper material is that...

It's Plastic...

No injuries, only contact to the bumper was my front tire.

Press in a bit, left an impression.

Today while riding, I saw quite a number of people texting talking on their handphone...

By the way, texting is more dangerous than talking on the HP, because it takes the eyes off the road.

dun u girl me..u like if i call u "Boy, you have to understand.."? you make yourself sound so old & naggy.

...........

in any case, judge me anyhow u'd like. i dont give nuts. cuz i can jolly well do the same about you or any one else for that matter.

I don't think he meant anything by addressing you as girl...its just a friendly way of addressing you like how we use dude or brother so often in this forum.

Anyway I'd like to share an incident that happened when I showed this van driver the finger quite some time ago. I was along the CTE with my ex riding pillion on lane 1. This van suddenly swerved into my lane; he probably didn't check his blindspot and just changed lanes. I was very pissed so I showed him the finger after swerving to the right to avoid him. I could se his face totally change at that point and he proceeded to try and knock me off the road. Yes he swerved right back into the lane after intially backing out; lucky I braked enough to avoid him.

When he failed to hit me he turned back into his lane and I could see his mouth working furiously, probably cursing me. There was a car coming up on his lane so he overtook it on the left and waited for me to catch up with him. I didn't bother to as my exit was comng up so I just filtered off to the left most lane, trying to keep a car between our vehicles at all times.

So although nothing happened, I was shaking as I left the expressway: my flippant gestured nearly got me and my ex killed. I've since tried my hardest control my anger when riding...

If you think I'm being naggy, so be it. Just hope that you and others following this thread can learn from my experiences.

fireshamie · August 27, 2009

She bites. Be careful....

Listen to him. He's right. You keep pointing your finger around, one day you're going to meet a really belligerent driver or rider who will come after you and knock you down... nevermind that you're a girl, that you're riding a 2B bike, or whether if you're a P-plater or not.

When you cross that line with the wrong person, you might regret it.
So think twice. Always think of this:

"Can I win this fight?"

If you can, go ahead.

dude, as i mentioned,

i dont really do that most of my riding journey so far. just that lately it's getting more frequent. for some reason.

need i make that my signature so that u all who reads is aware abt that?

anyways..thank u for all your concerns ah..touching ah

dont worry abt me ya..i'll be fine..just dun 'girl' me if enuf..it flips a trigger..

oh ya..i ever showed d finger long time back when its still a rare phenomenon and the van driver just flipped..but in d end it just fizzed away cuz to me its jus a moment kind of thing & nothing much to pursue..

but if she has a long finger???

Shamie, when I referred to you as girl, I did not meant to make it sound like an authoritative figure. But it seems that you took it that way. For that I apologize.

Silent Hunter · August 27, 2009

Hahaha! It's been a long time people address me as "Boy Boy!" already.

So can understand why can be a bit offending if a female were to be addresed as "Girl" But nothing malicious about it, in fact a bit endearing ehh?

Just think "Girl... how you feeling today?" Hahaha!

:lol:

Sticking to the subject matter... we're advising you to either stop using the middle finger, or tie/superglue your hands to the throttle, or even join the Yakuza and get it chopped off.

One day, you're going to "finger" the wrong person, and you'll end up eating asphalt big time. Not to put you down, but I have doubts that you'll be able to shake off a more experienced, and pissed off driver or biker who's determined to shove that finger back up your.... well.... you get my point.
