Test riding the Harleys~!

Went to test ride the Harley today with Andrew. While having lunch at Alexander, happen to meet Lionel and asked him to come along too. He made the right decision of joining us cuz there were enough test bikes for all 3 of us~!

Before we hop onto the bikes, we have to sign the form. We are all very excited!!!!
Of course, my little dear will be patiently waiting for me at the showroom while we go out and have fun with the bikes. Thanx dear~! :)

We set off with me riding the Fat Bob, Andrew on the Nightster and Lionel on the Street Bob. Midway, we switched bikes and I got to test the Nightster. Lionel was really impressed with the Harley, even though the thought of buying one never crossed his mind. His opinion of Harley certainly has changed.

Unknown to many, Harley is not just a chunk of heavy metals. The technology for Harley bikes has changed alot, just that the outlook remains the same to maintain the Harley image. Do you know that Harley bikes have this tilt sensor thingy which will cancel the signal for you after you've made you left or right turn!!! Not a big deal, but at least I've not known of any other bike that does that, let alone a Harley which is always perceived by many as old technology...

I went with the intial idea of exploring the Fat Bob cuz I was really into it. But I was surprised to find myself attracted to the Street Bob more... The Street Bob looks much better in real life than in the magazine.

Andrew is most probably gonna pay the deposit to get his Nightster. I will follow suit soon once I get back to work. Do not misunderstand. I have nothing against my Hayabusa and I love every seconds spent on it. Its just that the bike is giving me very bad shoulder, neck and back ache everytime I ride. And considering that I ride everyday on Singapore road, I am exposed to Uncle Sam constantly and I really love my license. =P

And like what others said, I don't go fast on straights (i.e. above 200km/h). I don't play corners. I am simply not fully utilizing the potential of my bike.... :(
haha... okie lah... maybe I am just finding excuses to change bike... =P
Still to early to make any decision... I shall take my time to decide...

Harley Addiction~!

I've successfully tempted my good old buddy into liking Harleys... hahaha... he is so into it now that he can't wait to buy one. Accompanied him to the dealership right after work and he was almost set to put a downpayment for the Harley Nightster but got a big disappointment instead. The current batch of Harleys were sold out and the next shipment will only comes in August 2009~!!!! Yes... Place your order now and wait ONE LONG YEAR *faint*

That's the thing about Harleys. You want it doesn't mean you will get it. You have money also doesn't mean you can get your hands on one straight away. Only limited pieces will come to Singapore each time and you gotta place your order way before that. Once its all sold, that's it... happy waiting for the next shipment... Got money also no use! Maybe that's why Harleys are so unique.

Anyway, on 2nd thoughts, I might just settle on a Nightster too. More affordable than the Fat Bob :(

We are gonna go for a test ride this coming Saturday and it will be fun~!

Nightster's not bad too... What do you think? Take a look.... :)

My latest addiction...

Harley Davidson Dyna Fat Bob

Triumph 2008 Motorcycle Launch

Harley Soft tail -Night Train in cool matt black... this is one of my favourite~!

Outside Twenty-Six... this is a new restaurant along East Coast Park... there's so many new shops there now that I can hardly recognize the place!

Triumph bikes...

Father and son... Owners of Mah Pte Ltd. That's Uncle John who gave me a very, very good price for my Hayabusa. He gave Andrew a very good deal for his G1K6 too. :)

Alright... parting shot... The bike is now on sale. Go get it~! :)

1 down... 5 more to go..

I paper down. 5 more to go.
Finally, my examinations have started. Went for my Introduction to Economics this morning. This is my 3rd attempt... Yes, I freaking failed it twice....

Met a number of friends and everyone asked me, how's preparation? prepared for it? scare or not?
Seriously, I've got no feeling from the start to the end of the paper... The only thing that happened is that I kept cursing Amos as I read the questions.... in a mumble of course...

Of course no feeling lah... took the paper for the 3rd time... what kinda feeling you want me to have? This year as usual, Amos throw stunt on the very first question. Luckily this time round I got study quite a bit of the study guide... haiz... just hope can pass lah... Over already, don't wanna look back....

Next up is Maths..... yeah... you heard it right... MATHS AGAIN.... -___-"""

Do I really have to type a title everytime?

Just received my posting order. I'll be going back to Artillery Institute IMMEDIATELY after my last paper... wah lau... never even give me a day to recover from my exam shock... Oh well, nothing's gonna change even if I kpkb, so just accept thing as it is. Its a mixed feeling. I'm looking forward to going back to work (living 3 years on No Pay Leave is no joke...), but at the same time, I worrying if I am able to cope. Not that I doubt my ability or anything, but I've been a relax student for 3 years and in about a month time, I'll be all serious and routine in camp. And it doesn't help to know that the boss I'm gonna work under is a very demanding man. Let's just hope everything will be fine. Looking forward to catching up with all the friends and colleagues. Its about time I polish my boots, iron my uniform and get my gears ready....

Meanwhile, its studying, studying and more studying... day in day out... hiding in the library, hoping that things do get into the brain... -___-"""
Library is really crowded... It opens at about 9am everyday and by 10am, it will be totally full~! kaoz... have to rush down every morning... and I can't go too early cuz I wanna avoid that stupid ERP gantries. Yes, no way to siam cuz the gantries are placed on both the PIE and Bukit Timah (near Hume Ave)... -__-""

Occasionally, Agnes will take leave from work and study with me...

Yes, this is the new way of studying... Put you head as near to the book as possible so that the words can work their way into the brain.... hehehe....
I also wanna try out the new method of studying.... hehehehe....
Studying is one thing. Occasionally, we also also need to go Msia to pump petrol, during which we will not miss out the Cornetto Royal ice-cream~! Its so expensive in Singapore ($2.50 per cone). In Msia, its only 2.50RM per cone~! Oh yar, during my last petrol run, I nearly ran out of petrol after I U-turn at 312C.. bike felt very choked up and I was really worried that it would die on me before I reach the petrol station. Luckily I managed to gently ride it and I made it to the petrol staion... and I found out how close I was to getting stranded on Msia highway... I pumped 20.5 litres of petrol~!!! *faint* My fuel tank has a max capacity of 21 litres... now you know... =P
Trying to take and artistic photo with the sepia mode... hehe...
Studying is stressful so we squeezed some time out to go for a movie to relax... We watched IRON MAN~! Not bad, nice armour... I wanna be Iron Man too!!! haha...
Okie lah enough of crap... time to go study again... think I'm going crazy soon and I foresee I'll look like this when I do get crazy................

A day full of sad news...

First, when I was in school, I received a SMS from fellow MRMC bro, Ben, informing us that his wife, Anna, got a stroke and is now in SGH. I was kinda stunned, since we were all happily celebrating the club anniversary just 2 days ago and Anna was also there having fun. She looks very healthy to me... haiz... Hope she get well soon.

Then, just moments ago, I received a SMS from Jerine, informing me that Angeline has passed away from a car accident last night. I know Angeline through NCC, when we went to climb Mount Ophir back in Sec 3. It was just a casual encounter and I didn't get to know her better or keep in touch after that. And after so many years, I did not expect that the next time I hear about her, it was about her passing away.... :(
Rest in Peace Angeline.... and condolence to her family and loved ones....

And just when I thought I've got enough bad news for the day, my mum informed me that she is down with high fever. Doctor examined her and said that she showed symptoms of getting infected with Dengue fever. She's on medication and if her condition doesn't improve in the next few days, she has to go for blood test. Hope that this is just a false alarm and that she will get well soon!!!

To all out there, cherish your loved ones and hold on to them while you still have them (not when you've lost them!) Let them know that you love them (not assume that they should know!). Life is fragile and unpredictable, so live each day to the fullest~!

Dot dot dot.....

Exam is coming up fast and furious.... and I feel strangely peaceful... Or is it worried until numb already?

Too busy and too lazy to update the blog... not much major events anyway.

First time in St James and the first major turn-off is that there were no proper parking lots for bikes. Either on the disgusting pavement outside St James or the illegal parking at PSA (at the risk of $50 Wheel Cramp fee).

Powerhouse was not too bad... Dragonfly was interesting... But nothing beats having nice prata with a few friends on a Saturday night. =P
Yeah, drinking and getting drunk on over-priced alcohol just doesn't interest me...

This is so random. Will update soon. =P

Quoted from SBF

I quoted this from SBF Hayabusa Thread by Tish... haha...

Range of speed people are traveling in Msia:

Relax riding 90-160
Exercise 160-220
Backside itchy 220-280
Something wrong up there 280-300+
Gone case = above 300 to the limit


haha... quite an interesting equation.... So far, I'm only "Backside itchy"
Don't know when I will be something wrong up there.... hahahaha....
Anyway this equation is more applicable for busas... ride one to know what I mean.... hehe..

For those who wanna stick to cars and wanna overtake a busa... you can try one of the only 5 production cars in the world that can do that....
They are:
1. Bugatti Veyron
2. Gumpert Apollo
3. Saleen S7 TT
4. Koenigsegg CCX
5. SSC Ultimate Aero TT.

Unfortunately... non of them are on Singapore roads, so till then.. I can still say Busa Rulez~! =P
