Morning Ride to Tasek Merimbun

been talked about this ride for sometimes but never have the time to do it, finally decide just go for it this Sunday..suppose to start depart at 6 am but unfortunately the weather is not on our side, the sky still looked gloomy with rain...so everyone jump back into their bed..continue sleeping for another 2 hours....after the nap we will proceed regardless the weather condition, rain or snow also ride...and the weather turned out very good for long ride, cool and cloudy..a perfect day to ride...put on my gears start the bike and on the road again..

Meet up with the rest of the guys at Gadong for breakfast, everyone was there but one..the most unlikely person to be absent...our Hard Core Biker JS...decide not to join us...so no reason to waste time for waiting anymore..is Riding Time..

before going further, a fuel stop at the Lamunin Shell Station and the usual "SMOKING SESSION" at FUEL STATION again....our riding tradition..

after some GOOD country side rides we finally arrive Tasek Merimbun...the place is so peaceful & calm, a totally different world compare to what we having minutes ago..dusts, vibration, loud noise, bugs & some water from the roadside as well....

Motorcycle Defensive Riding

Today while i'm organizing a Defensive Driving activities for the SUZUKI SWIFT D DRIVE event, some biking mates of mine came over, but instead of taking part in the Car Defensive Driving activities they are having their own Motorcycle Riding activities at the parking lot, they begin discussing proper riding position & do slalom ride (something similar with what we have in the track)....

so call Motorcycle Defensive Riding...with cars moving around & no Crash Helmet..plus ignoring the presented Traffic Polices too...

Storm Rider

today's weather is so unpredictable..some times sunny & some times rain, and finally it decide to come down real hard at late afternoon.

is time to go home, not sure shall i stay put or just head home, in the end just twist the throttle and go...

the rain is pouring hard, bullet-like raindrop crashing on my numbed torso, icy cold water running down my spine and give me a chill...but the worse are yet to come..multiple lightning striking down around me & visibility 20m...

although the ride is so chilling & danger, but it is still a very Fun & Exciting experience.. should call my mates to do a STORMY RIDE one of this day...

Deadly Bike Crash

Friend of mine send these Car & Bike Accident pictures to me today..

bike traveled at 85 mph, car came out of junction with the driver talking on handphone, apparently the car driver didn't noticed the bike, bike rider can't avoid on time & crashed into it...

after the mishap the rider was found inside the car with the 2 female passengers, all of them perished in the instant...

after seeing these pictures, i relished these happened in our daily lives all the time, talking on cellphone while driving (driver) & speeding in busy streets (Riders)....i guess is about time everyone pay more attention in their driving/riding behavior..as some say life never take two....

A Darker Side..

Out of the blue I decided to give my IRON a darker look by reducing some of the chrome parts specially the upper part of the fork...initially i plan to give it a coat of matt black paint, but a layer of paint will build-up the diameter of the fork and might facing some problem if maintenance is require to dismantle the fork from the triple tree. So friend of my introduce me these alternative solution.. a removable matt Carbon Fiber Finishing product..

now the front end have a more black-out and sinister looks...

maybe next time i'll ride to Seria to have a bowl of Kolomee for breakfast......

YAMAHA YZF-R15

A new Bike is in Town now,The Yamaha R15. (pronounce R one five according the INDIAN). this bike is designed by India Yamaha Motor exclusively for the Indian market, launched in 2008 and now is in Brunei.

This bike is equip with a fuel injected 149.8cc single cylinder liquid cool engine, font & rear Disc Brake ( not Brambo) Monocross suspension ( also not OLIN) & Telescopic Front Fork + 6 speed transmission. tiny bike with 6 speed...but with this kind of selling prize can't complaint much though...

technically it inherit (or COPY) the DNA form the infamous YZF R1 & R6..just make it in a smaller & cheaper version for India market..but generally it's a good bike for beginner rider who require a light weight, nimble, user friendly yet sporty looking bike. R15..

More Bikes..?

lately mate of mine keep luring me into off-road biking..( out come of having coffee with devils) but not too sure about these. spending extra for another dirt bike on top of what i currently owned right now, this would be a burden to own..just wander how many bikes a man should have..? will it be practical to own more than what we can ride on..? still not too sure about these...well..maybe one of these day when i'm in a stupid/mad mood i might just grab another one without consider too much....sometime men will do stupid things..
