Handlebar! +Thoughts on riding...

15/1

At Handlebar this time round with Kate!

Decided to check the place out after dinner since we've never been there before.

Coincidentally its the 20th anniversary of Warpigs, which was celebrated at Handlebar today.

The moment you ride in and spot probably at least 100 Harley Davidson. Many cool custom rides you'll see over there.

Harley Davidson may be one of a ride and a dream for bikers, but think I'm still gonna go for my BMW in future! Who knows... I might change my mind anytime soon! 

DREAMS...
Still hoping to go long distance touring with a few friends to enjoy. It's gonna be a whole new experience for me! If any of you guys wanna join just let me know! The more the merrier. 

Hoping to explore all the way till Thailand maybe? Lets see... 

I'm sure many of you riders out there do follow YouTube, watching tons of motorcycle videos everyday. Some of the videos are actually really inspiring, making you feel like riding every single day.

I guess it's kinda therepuetic to ride alone or even with your friends. I find it really nice to listen to music while riding, even at slow speeds during the night while it's really cooling. I can go as slow as 40-50 km/h and feel fine alone, enjoying the ride with the cool breeze.

I'm sure it's what we're all looking for after a long day of work, considering the hours we work in Singapore; to have a good way to relax. 

Really love this Harley Davidson I saw. There were so many more custom motorcycles that night at Handlebar!!

Handlebar really lots of decorative pieces hanging around. Didn't manage to take a photo of the Ducati on display, but you guys will see it there! 

For those of you guys who have not gone by to check Handlebar out, you should! It's just by the sea and the environment is great to chill out; maybe have a drink or two! :) 

Happened to see this beautiful Triumph Cafe Racer parked here.

Here we go, a new Joby Action Camera Mount! Tested it and it was really secured on my DR200 and felt much safer to mount my SJ4000.

That's how you beat the sun while you ride during the day!

Testing out a new angle to record my video on that day. Still shaky due to my bike :( Well, It's good enough for me! hahaha

People always thought I had this camera for own protection. Well..... That wasn't the priority why I got this action camera. The reason IS because I just wanna have fun recording my own rides!! I may sound crazy, but it's true! 

I ride everyday even though I can choose not to, since I actually can drive to work. I chose to ride though, at least I enjoy it.

Some people get a motorcycle for transport, FOR ME I got it mainly for my ENJOYMENT while transportation was just a secondary priority.

So to people who might think why I got my camera, there you go! Purely for enjoyment purposes! Don't judge, hahahahah!

Dangers of riding?

Many ask me if it's dangerous and why I still do it.

Everyone keeps asking why ride when i can drive, don't ask anymore hahaha! I still drive sometimes. 

The answer is obvious isn't it? It's a fact that you're more vulnerable when you're on a motorcycle VS a car. It's not gonna deter me from riding though. Have to really take care of yourself on the roads. Same to you guys out there!

Skip to 1:42 for exact scene.

One good example would be in this video where you see a truck cut into my lane.

Of course I hope everything goes smoothly, and I am able to continue my journey towards my dreams!

JOIN ME FOR A RIDE!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

It's been a while guys!

I have been busy lately.... but I still ride every single day!!
So recently it has been raining non-stop, I've gotten drenched quite a few times. 

Another thing... I don't like to ride even after the rain has stopped; the wet ground just makes my pants dirty and wet :( I'll rather ride at the start of the rain while the ground is still dry hahahah!

So I've been following Vaune Phan's updates on instagram/blog on her road to 1,864 corners all the way into northern most part of Thailand. Really interesting photos she has uploaded. 
You guys have to check her out if you haven't! It's at vaunephan.blogspot.sg

Many of you guys may be thinking where's my videos of my rides... Well, Unfortunately my SJ4000 camera mount broke and I was unable to mount it on my DR200 to do any recording for the past few days.

Seems like the design of the SJ4000 bike mount doesn't work that well for me I guess...

I did order another type of mount from taobao, hopefully it will work. More like a strap-kind of mount. Most importantly it must be secured to my bike! I'm definitely gonna tie-down my SJ4000 camera just in case the strap mount gives way :S Hahahah!!!

On the 15th December, Tuesday, my friend jio-ed my to join him at a Harley Davidson ride from the HD Showroom to Beach Road. Sadly.... I was working that day and was unable to join in. It would have been a fun ride, right?! Maybe next time! To all Harley Davidson/Other riders, hope you guys had fun that evening! 

Past two days, the weather has been kind to me. Just cloudy without rain. I just rode at 50km/h to enjoy the great weather.

What a pleasure/enjoyment!! 

Will be riding with Joel soon after his exams! Hope to see his Yamaha R15 and ride together soon! It's been a while since we rode together the other night.
