My dad used to bring me around, when I was old enough to sit inside the basket of a Kup. Favourite cartoon was biker mice from mars (after smurfs of cause!) Then nowadays my parents wonder why i like to ride bike...

Rebuilding my dreams. But first, the gears

1) WP RS Taichi riding jacket

2) WP riding pants

3) Titanium riding gloves

4) Garmine Nuvi 550 GPS (US$259)

5) WP Komine riding boots

6) Arai Helmet

7) The BIKE of course! :cheeky:

When I was young..You can take licence when you're 16 and there's no 3 classes of licence for any CC? :cheeky:

09/07/2009 - Passed 2B TP (10th attempt)

 

I have tried to see things from your point of view..But no matter how hard I try..Or what I do..I just can't get my head that far up my butt..

but during that time. seldom got ppl ride 1000cc bike right?

To ride on the road, You need skills,Stamina, or even luck.

 

But to be a good rider, you have to change with your environment,and adjust yourself to its rhythm.

 

Cultivate the confidence to face the different situations. Don't let yourself to be subdued by the environment :thumb:

There were..But I did not take any particular notice about it..Never had any interest in bikes back then..Also back then parents were very strict and I wasn't allowed outdoors as much as youngsters nowadays..There are a couple big bikes in the nearby carpark but I can't remember what bike it was..One bike I remembered was a very nice GSXR..:cheeky:

But I tot Andy Lau used to ride PGM2 or something like that in that race movie?

 

Steps to do a proper KNNBCCB with middle finger.

 

1. Bow down slightly, looking intensely at objective

2. Like a raging bull, hop and jog slowly towards objective

3. Take your left palm and slap it hard on the right mid-arm with a SLAP!

4. With charisma, raise right arm, whilst showing middle finger (with left palm trapped in bend right arm)

5. Shout! KNNBCCB

when i was young ('96), i wasnt interested in motorbikes. was happy with my colnago road bike (cheap low end one about $500 i think) and my GT zaskar 14.5inch mountain bike (i starved for this bike) which i used for trials and pops wheelies around my neighbourhood..

 

then when i was studying in ITE, a student from the automotive class did a standing wheelie on his SP-1 infront of the busstop outside school. then i got really interested in bikes but i couldnt afford to get a license then as my family wasnt well off and i had to work part time just to make ends meet. silly me, i used to think that 2A i can already ride the SP-1. haha got my license a year after a started working full time (as i need it for transport as well) and constantly "upgrading". haha

rien d'autre que le max.

what was ur impression towards bikers? when i was small.

 

i always think ppl ride bike cause they no $ to ride bike. and i nv see big bikes b4.

 

dont ask me why. i always only see ah pek ride those old old bike.

 

only around 5years ago den i realize that some bikers are actually even richer den some cocky driver outside. some even earning 5-figure per mth

 

Many bikers i know personally, earn a 5 figure monthly salary. whats the big deal about a 5 figure salary anyway, Sky? if a person sucks, he/she sucks. got nothing to do with his salary.

When I was young, always wanted a Bike, but parents don't allow... :(

 

So until now then get. :cheeky:

 

My Impression of bikers when I was very very young was that those riding Cruiser type like the Harley Davison wearing Black leather are all gangsters. (that time still very small lah K1 or K2 only, anyway also quite true during that era, just think of Hells Angels biker Gang in the early 80s)

 

But those riding sports bike are Macho! Ultra Cool! Dudes! :thumb:

Girl riding sports bike = Hot girl ! :lovestruck:

Unless take off helmet that time transform to Super Hideous Ugly looking girl... ... :sian:

Then Aiyo!!! :eek: Must quickly look away, don't spoil my impression of lady riders. :lol:

 

Those riding 2 strokers, dragging Peeehhhh!!! All the way are cheapo, noisy and inconsiderate people, make so much smoke very smelly, and so loud, people at night how to sleep? :nono: And must be no money buy better motorcycle, so pushing the small bike to it's limits to keep up with traffic.

 

Those riding Vespa scooters and very old, run down Yamahas are responsible, kindly uncles, with a family to support. :smile:

Now, I also riding Cruiser type bike (Phantom TA200) don't know what kids think of me now. hahaha! :lol:

Motorcyclist are the nicest people on the road, try not to kill us.

Come to think of it.. yeah, I wonder what kids think of me now when I ride past their papa and mama cars.

Lol.. But I BET the kid sitting in the black lexus whose dad was driving and drove me off the road into a bus lane to avoid being splattered like a bug to the dad's car think i am a holigan. Coz when the dad stopped at traffic light I pulled up next to his car and !@#$% the man in front of his family.

Sorry a bit off topic but....

 

Dude, Colnago doesnt have cheap low end. A "cheap" Colnaga frame is already about $1000++. and that was 15 yrs ago.

 

$500???? Unless it's a second hand from a very good friend who is willing to sell you a Colnago for 80% off the full price, i dare say yours was not genuine Colnago (Italy)

probably it was. it was a colnago oval cx. comes with shimano 600 parts. i remember the frame is made of alloy. sorry bro i don't know much these italion bikes as it was a gift from my dad. it is still around though. don't have the heart to sell it or give it away.

 

was much more interested in my GT zaskar with xtr parts, magura hydraulics and not forgetting that sick rendezvous trials bash guard. but i sold it away before i started sec 5.
