I own “Greatest Ever Motorcycles”

Its not i’m the 1 who said it… watch this:

Bought this babe in march 2005 after selling off my troublesome Yamaha TZM, was planning to use it just for work, “hoping” to upgrade “soon”, In fact, until now I’m sill not yet upgraded…

But it is a very reliable, fuel saving bike if you don’t mind riding at the speed of 6~70kmh; I used to ride it to work, 1 full tank of 3L can last me a week, 5 working days *  near 40km/day = near 200km per tank, nice eh… not much trouble, normal wear and tear, but of cause, it does has some problems, it’s a 25yrs old bike anyway…

It is a very small bike for a 6’2, but still i can sit on it comfortable, nice cushion, no butt pain problem; took out the basket so my leg can tag in.

The “handling” is….”fun”; front too stiff, rear too soft, very bouncy; once my friend followed behind and said “You bounce so much just like a jet ski…”; when it hit a small pot hole during corner, it’s time to slide,haha…supermoto style…

Did some “not-so-long distance” ride before, Subang N/V – Cheras – Titikong -Jelebu, total around 200km in half day, no problem, slide a lot due to pot holes; uphill is killing me, with the speed of 30kmh, not just fugging slow, and also the gear is hard to choose, 2nd?? too high…3rd?? too low…crap… down hill, how fast can you go, haha…

Just top overhaul for few months, changed to sport rims due to punctures too many times; Some lame fugger stole my front right parking light panel, bless him…

 

Still sounds good 😀

 

 

Found this video in youtube, kinda fun, hope can do that sometimes…. 😛

What “IF”…

Was talking with my Malay friend that what “IF” i, as a Malaysian Chinese won a podium in MotoGP…

 

“Congratulation to Panda who won Malaysian GP; now, with your own language…”

(Oh my God….I’m a Chinese, I should speak in Mandarin…but as a Malaysian, i should speak in Bahasa Malayu… But with my can-only-go-buy-a-burger Cina Pek kind of Bahasa Malayu, will them understand???)

“Ia… Gua amat happy sebab gua dah menang dalam pusingan ini…er…sebagai rayak Malaysia, gua…gua… manyak happy lah, boleh menang dalam negara sendiri…dan er…bila starting ah…itu Kasih Stoner dia makan gua punya line lah, Dua Kati dia memang cepat oh… itu Losi starting sangat slow ah, jadi… gua potong dia dan block dia lah, lepas tu Jongket Loulenzor cucuk di belakang gua la…jadi corner satu sana, gua layan dan tutup pintu dia lah….lepas tu ah, itu Dewi-ah-sou tak tau datang dari mana punya, tiba tiba gua nampak dia di tepi gua di corner tiga dan empat, dia mau tolak gua keluar lah, tapi gua makan line cantik,  gua makan saja, so, gua potong dia balik lah…lepas tu…hujan sikit lah… itu Semut Barat (Ant West) dan Weinunu manyak manyak cepat oh…gila punya dia orang, hujan boleh bawah cepat macam mau mati, lu tau la, hujan mah, bahaya oh…gua ikut Kasih saja lah…nak tengok dia  punya style lah…lulus punya jalan, Dua Kati dia  manyak power oh, fuiyo…sekejap aje dah hilang, tapi corner dia koyak lah…sebab motor dia power gila, buka sikit, slide…buka sikit slide…aiya, macam ni mana boleh, sampai belakang taiya dia pun habis lah…gua tengok dia slide manyak, gua cucuk dia lah, cucuk cucuk…dia tak boleh control, lari sampai pasir sana and jatuh bodoh…aiya…lu tau lah, gua racer mah, bukan rempit, gua tak mau menang dia macam ni…ok lah, itu saje…”

 

Well… I think I slept too much during school time and this is what I get…for those who don’t understand… don’t bother to translate it, haha…

Pinky female bike with intestine

This is what happen when you show a woman (not all) Britten V1000…

” y got a bike with a pink color 1???…for female riders 1 isit?…but the design so ugly!….(it’s a 1 man dream) ya….. man’s dream… that’s y design it to be like a girl!!!…the middle part, looks like intestine!!!…intestine!…”

I felt so bad for our great late John Britten… sorry mate, love your bike forever…

For those who don’t know who is John Britten, click here, and official web for Britten Motorcycle Company Ltd, see what 1 man can do in his garage while some fug up government funded car manufacturer produce crap.

Top Gear: Britten V1000 Racing Motorcycle

BANG!!

Yape…the all new 09 Yamaha YZF-R1… not a prince charming, but the engine spec is killing me, never thought any jap 1L sport will makes me kuku…

 

Not many people like the looks, but its fine for me, couse i always like the kind of “racing look” on a “racing bike”, just like those endurance bikes which have drill hole js for 1 or 2 small lights which its light and bright enough to be use, and that’s what i will do “if” i have 1, that’s what i think… Exhaust pipe too big?? i don’t care… 

 

The most attractive part for me is the engine… “crossplane crankshaft that runs with an uneven firing interval of 270º – 180º – 90º – 180º…” @@ you might need an engineer to draw you a chart, with some powerpoint+3D animation presentation to let you know what the hell is going on in that engine; but, in simple way, it is a “big bang” engine… This is nothing to do with Stephen Hawking’s theory of how universe begins and not really related with how GOD created the world, but is the firing system of the engine to mimic V2 engine to gives more traction, and same time it it gives the power of a inline 4, 2 engine in 1… this is only you can see in those MotoGP prototype bikes, and now Yamaha is bringing in the technology into their production bike, how fun is that… This is not the 1st time Yamaha using a big bang engine in their production bike, you can find it in their TDMs, but 1st is sports.

Personally i’m a guy who likes to corner more than top speed, so this is a very good bike that can goes fast in the corner (according to the spec) and sound like MotoGP’s bikes… mom, can i have 1…please…please…

Listen to that sweet sweet sound of a big bang engine… 😀
