Let's go Makansia
As the road boss of this month, my challenge is please the bored crowd. I full understand that our boys love to ride fast and are always feeling hungry, last night theme was "Let's go Makansia". I brought along my passport, cashcard & Ringgit and out of the sudden I found many friends on the other side of the border :)
Touch n Go - What a comotion at the toll booth! We tried touching but they didn't like many to go! Lucky there was someone manning the booth who sold us $20 ringgit touch n go cards. If not for them, we would have been slaughtered by the cup kia who were jammed behind us.
The ride was short with only 40km of tarmac strip between GP Esso and Kulai. DrRipper and Bear were fast on these roads. I could only smell smoke and trailed behind in an "air catching" position along with a butt hurting, fidgety pillion. It didn't take us long before we saw rows of shop houses. They look familar, heng ah I wasn't lost. So many makan stalls are established now where before there was only one famous restoran around the corner. Come and think of it, that was nearly 10 years ago where I left footprints there. Food was slightly better than ordinary IMO, probably cos I've lost the hungry feeling before we arrived past midnight. Hokkien noodle, bee hoon penyat (BB version) & wild boar curry with fried rice were probably the better tasting dishes.
Not sure if it's a mirror route, the ride back to Singapore always seems longer let alone the SG west-east journey.
I think it's a very good short outing and thank you bros for making this happen. I know you will thank me for organising this so my reply in advance is "You're welcome" wahaha. Not many pics...forgot to bring memory card :(

2010 HD Launch - Reflection @ Keppel Bay
Slide Show Click Here
As usual, who cares about the new same bike? Wings, sausages, burgers and beers, the perfect lures for bo chap harley riders haha.
Reflection @ Keppel Bay was excellent, probably the best launch location for somethings (bikes) that, to many season riders, no longer have the wow factor. Cruise ship and water front set a scenic backdrop for the 2010 models.
Though not much changes for the new models, but most agreed that the sportster iron seats kick ass. Thin and brown leather spring seat gives that old school look yet it's amazingly comfortable. I won't be shocked to know its price tag be in the thousands.
One of my favourite is the 2010 Dyna Wide Glide. As a fan of my own ride, I welcome its resurrection with its absence in 2009. Coloured straight risers and a simple looking handlebar couple with the largest rake in the HD family, give the bike an old school chopper look. Flame paint job tank is probably the most improved part on any stock HD models. Bob tail is sold as option and rounded rear will likely to attract many riders who loves the hugging rear look.
Test ride @ your nearest, one and only dealership!

Harley vs God
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven.At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur, "Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven."
Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out with God." St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God. God recognised Arthur and commented, "Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycles, eh?!"
Arthur said, "Yeah, that's me..."
God commented: "Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution, and can't run without a road?!" Arthur was apparently embarrassed, but finally spoke, "Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?"
God said, "Ah, yes."
"Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention:
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion;
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds;
3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much;
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust;
5. And the maintenance costs are outrageous!!"
"Hmmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God. "Hold on." God went to his Celestial super-computer, typed in a few words and waited for the results.
The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it and smiled. "Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur, "but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours."
