Today is the happiest day of my life as it is a full year that I had my 2B license. I will be taking my 2A latest end of February. I dreamed of following my bro footstep in riding a 1000cc and nothing smaller than that.
Today is also the day that I have my Singapore Motorcycle Tour (SMT) sticker on my front mudguard. I’ve asked that sticker from my bro ever since I’m riding my Kr150. It is an honor to have the sticker and to ride with it. The first reaction I got from my girlfriend is “Jibai I ask you put Hello Kitty you duno put what sticker.” She is very supportive indeed. Somehow I will put it some place not so visibly obvious.
Today is also a frightening day of my life. I was on the way to one of the shopping centre in Woodlands when I nearly fall of a left corner to
At that shopping centre when we were waiting for Ama and Dan, Kai told me, “Zack, I want to try to scrap my footrest on the ground, open my knee and see whether my knee can touch the ground. Anything if I fall, help me out.” He soon tried out the right hand corner while Jepon helped him pressed the pedestrian crossing. After 2 or 3 times trying, Dan came down and smoked beside me. Kai dropped his gear too late, making him aiming for the centre divider. When he tried to avoid that centre divider, he realized that he was then aiming for the left kerb. He went lower, scrapped his footrest, scrapped his knee, scrapped his arms and his head hit the divider. He was lucky to get away such fall so quickly that he was able to stand up and sit beside us.
His failure but I believe he will learn his lesson. Not a lesson to stop from cornering, but a lesson to learn from it and try harder. Failure brings you a step closer to success.
I told Saiful days before he enroll to get an RXK when he pass his license. But day by day his thoughts changes until one day he told me “Zack, why don’t I buy your bike when I going to get a 2A bike?”
I thought he was playing a fool but in the end I was wrong because he is dead serious.
I proposed $140 monthly just ask him to be my sub rider because he doesn’t want insurance and whatever to reach his mail box so that he can keep this secret away from his mom. Excluding that is $100 each month for insurance. So every month I am demanding $240.
Excluding that, I need $500 upfront in case he uses my bike and didn’t pay his installments. Example, if he wants to use my bike for 6 months, $500 upfront + (240 x 6). In case that he pays till my installment finish, meaning to say the bike is being paid full, I will need $1.4k to cover up my losses as I have paid 10th installments till now.
It just a matter of time when the odds is broken, when the time comes..
Every time when I go out with my friends, they will tell me for example Merv,“Zack you fucking crazy.”, or Ama “Jangan ikut Zack, die giler(don’t follow Zack, he is crazy)”. But here is a thought for you to think for yourself.
As long as riding while ensuring safety is not dangerous. People might say ride fast and dangerous, but they didn’t think what I can do that made me able to ride in that kind of speed. All I can say is EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED.
I use on my brains. More I open my throttle, more thinking I use. While I’m squeezing at heavy and slow traffic conditions, I will always ask myself WHAT IF. “What is the freaking bike in front of me jam his brake” and “What is the car change lane” is always a question that I thought for myself.
Example, if I see and open space at Lane 1 just nice for a car to swerve from Lane 2, I will slow down depending on traffic condition. When I’m squeezing and there’s a bike in front of me, I won’t tailgate him back to back in case he jam his brake.
Some times all you need to do is to think how much safer you can make your ride to be. My pillions always think its hell sitting on my bike, but they didn’t know how much pressure I have trying to keep the fast ride safe even it look dangerous.
I do love my life, because I have the happiest life that people are wanting for. I care for my pillion, and lastly I care for my bike.
I just finished washing my bike and went for breakfast with Mervin and Marcus when Jepon came out of the blue and sit with us. He told me that Kai called him to help him be his guarantor for his 125Z. Kai went to the bike shop without withdrawing his money and Jepon without his IC. Lost!
Ah Cheng told him his insurance for 3rd Party was $600+, which is more than half of what Wing Yap quoted. The bike cost $2.8k and he need to down pay $600 and $114 monthly for 24mths. He signed the agreement with Jepon as guarantor and he was pretty much the happiest day of his life.
But that stupid bastard forgot that he had no money for anything else. Wallet not even 10cents. He had no money to go work, no money to buy water, nothing!! I borrowed him $20. So the lesson learn is bring MORE THAN WHAT YOU NEED! SUCKER..
