Ducati Monster! + Pillion experience

31/10

Met up with Kate in the morning to get her Ducati Monster checked out before grabbing breakfast at handmade fishball noodles 自制西刀鱼圆, Berseh food centre.

Kate getting her Ducati Monster 400 checked out by the mechanic!

What a beautiful bike she has! Who knows, I might own a Ducati one day..

Many might be wondering how my first experience with a passenger went. Hmmm...

The ride went not too bad. Just gotta practice more to improve my stability with passengers.

Overall great experience! Definitely more to come!

First Pillion + practice!

28/10
Expecting my first pillion ride today!

I'm sure many of you guys feel the same way as I do, that excited feeling with a slight bit of fear as well.

Well... there's a first time to everything right?

All to myself!

Happened to find this empty area where I did some "practicing"!

Will be uploading some video footage next time after I get my set of camera.

Thinking of mounting them to my helmet front. Let's see how it goes..

Caught in the rain!

27/10

Oh well, got caught in the rain the 2nd time while on the way to work. (Clementi area.)

The light drizzle was still alright, the puddle that splashed really soaked my shoes and my pair of jeans.

Probably will start preparing an extra set of clothing just in case for the time being.

Imagine having ice thrown at you at high speeds while you walk on the streets!!

Still finding a proper rain gear to wear, hopefully to keep myself more protected from "rain bullets".

Most importantly to keep me dry during the rain while I ride.

I've seen many brands out there in the market, still contemplating which one is more suitable. Pricing is definitely a big factor and also the waterproofing.

Time to service!

Time to do some servicing before I continue my journey with my DR200.

It has performed well, but just a little squeaky on the rear brakes :S

A friend of mine highly recommended me to this mechanic "Ah Chai"

Just a small workshop with all essential tools!

There he started to fix up my rear brakes, hope it solves my current problem!

My first ride on Suzuki DR200

17/10

The day I get my new ride! (Thanks Kate for the sweet ride!)

An exciting moment to try out the DR200.

This is it, the feel you get when you get your first ride and having your first ride.

I'll be riding it home, while many may think it's a little risky to travel on the open roads & expressways during my first ride.

I'm sure many of you have heard of this iron workhorse. Let's hope for the best!
