First ride with MJ + Beating the red light!

23/4
First ride out with MJ on his Yamaha R15. 

Last minute met up at Queensway before moving out to our supposedly location at Punggol.

Saw someone beat the red light right in front of me. Sadly didn't capture it with my SJCAM4000. 

Would have been the highlight of the day!

He's been riding for maybe only a month now? Let's all hope for the best so that we can continue riding for as long as we can!

Hoping to fulfill my touring dreams one day with him as well. Hopefully with more people!!! As many as I can find!


There you go, with his red/blue Yamaha R15. Lost our way and ended up in hougang. Grabbed a drink and moved on to Upper Thompson to meet up with his cousin. 

Everything went well that night I think.. hahahaha.



There you see his cousin's BMW in the background. Lousy camera man MJ didn't get a proper angle.



We ended up at Yishun Dam. 2nd time being there.
There were a many groups of people doing different activities. Some even set up their own BBQ area with aluminium trays.

Saw a few groups of bikers too just there to chill out.

Will definitely be back with my own BBQ set! HAHAHAH!

Looking forward to have a nice chillout session with the guys soon!

25/4
Lucky me!

Guess what, got my pair of tickets to Liquimoly Exclusive movie screening!!!

Anybody else attending??


Unfortunately I am unable to make it, passed the tickets to my parents to enjoy instead!
Let's hope I win more of such events! hahahahah!


Latest update on Joel's Yamaha R15


As usual, parked his R15 in Ngee Ann Polytechnic during school hours.

After returning to his bike, realised there were some outer damage as seen above. Told me someone dropped his bike and ran off.

Do be careful guys. Although it may be difficult to find the culprits, do park your bikes in well lit areas or near areas with CCTV. Not sure how effective will CCTV be but better than none right?

Luckily it's just some minor scratches and nothing else is damaged. 
To the guys who damaged this particular R15, wtf seriously....??

Take care guys!

New phase in life + Servicing schedules

20/4
Hope everyone is doing well! I am doing well.... obviously hahahah!!!

It has been a while since the last update. Been kinda busy right now with work and stuff....

Haven't been riding with Joel or other buddies recently.
Another friend, MJ just pass his TP recently. New kaki lai liao, another R15 joining us soon!
Gonna ride up with him soon! Definitely more photos/videos to come soon!

Wait for them!




Just a quick throwback when I was with Joel at Pasir Panjang.

Missing the times when we were more free to ride. More to come soon I hope!

Suzuki DR200 has been serving me well so far since I started riding it since last year in .

No problems faced so far except the gear shifting sometimes (always been there but only happens occasionally). Still coping well. 
Sending it for servicing almost every month as I ride up to 1000 km/month average. At the same old workshop every time, about $18 just for an engine oil change and necessary touch-ups.
Probably an oil filter change every 2 months or so.
Oh well.... Just my own schedule of servicing. Stick to your preferred way as long as it makes you happy!

Any better ways of servicing you guys have, let me know k!

Other than the regular servicing, I'm still washing my bike regularly to keep it sparkling clean!
I feel more comfortable having a clean bike hahahaha!! Even a quick rinse and wipe down matters especially now with the unpredictable weathers.

Got caught in rain again the other day and got shot by ice bullets again! GG
Luckily it only rained in one area and I got out of it within the next 5 minutes
Do remember to bring your rain gear just in case! Nobody likes riding in the wet weather I guess.... If you like then ok lor. hahahahah!



Have fun riding guys! Half selfie for you guys.

One last video for you guys from one of my night rides (with a pillion this time round). 
Getting used to riding with a pillion now. I guess with more practice it will get better and better. 
So for you guys who are still afraid of having a pillion, gotta try and practice more. If not..... you will never dare to pillion your passenger? Don't know about you, but I will try hahahahhah!



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 ...
