Ninja Beach Party - Bagan Lalang, 10 Jan 2009

The Ninja 250R Malaysia recently organised a beach party to kickstart the 2009 activities. The beach party without any specific theme (nobody rides with swimming trunk or bikini) was in conjunction with one of the respected club member's birthday celebration - Happy Birthday Bad aka Kirana! May God Bless you with a good health, blissful life and bottomless spending money to mod your bike!

It was such a great party that I lost count how many people and bikes actually were there. Probably closed to 100 people ... or more! The party was merrier with the support from our 'abang' club members of ZXR250 Malaysia - Great to have all of you there. And we had a special guest appearance in the form of 'Abang Mad' whom the Kawasaki Malaysia rep for the event.

I managed to snap some pictures for the event. Enjoy!

Welcome 2009!

Happy New Year to all my biking friends! Hmm... happy belated actually. Better late than never mentioning at all.

The new year comes with all sort of new things to ponder. Most of us drafting new resolution for 2009 and most likely they will regret it as having one due to unrealistic mission statements. ME? I have jump-started the new year with a BANG! Hehehe .... I've bought a brand new DSLR camera and my mission for this year is to take better pictures. Very easy to achieve as it is intangible, nobody cares with my end-products anyway .... :)

As to start of with the action plans in meeting the target, I took some pictures of a program called 'Riadah Bermotosikal' at USJ Track on 1 Jan 2009. The date is just perfect. The result as follows:

I might add new resolutions in Feb, March, June till Dec 2009 ... as always happenened years before ;). Happy New Year and hopefully this year will reduce our sufferings from last year and brings more joy and laughter in this world.

Track Day - 14 Dec 2008

It was not an ordinary Sunday on 14/12 as I was busy burning the track at Sepang. My second time joining the track day with my Ninja 250R accompanied by fellow mates - Hilman, Doc Shaiful and Sham. We had a pool of 'umbrella boys' (Fazli, Hisha and Yop) as well to witness the not-so-fast bikes speeding along the Sepang main straight.

I think there was a big improvement on my part on maintaining the correct line without any scary moments approaching the corners. No errors tackling Turn 9 at all though a bit slow ... Yeah! I'll post more pictures soon.

Why Shoei X11?

The reason I spent so much money on a helmet is due to these videos below(plus some other kind of 'poisons' coming from my mates). That fat guy statement is clear and convincing - I'm Sold!

Ducati 1198

Ducati just announced its latest superbike for 2009 - a bigger,bad-ass 1198 and 1198S. It has the same design cue with its little brother 1098. Some comment for the new bike from motorcycle-usa as follows:

"The liquid-cooled L-Twin mill sports a bigger displacement at 1198.4cc with a 106 x 67.9mm bore/stroke. Its 1098 predecessor measured 1099cc with a 104 x 64.7mm bore/stroke. Also increased are the performance numbers, with an extra 10 horsepower and 6.6 lb-ft of torque totaling claimed peek numbers of 170hp at 9750rpm and 97 lb-ft. " Continue reading here.

If you just couldn't wait to read the whole article and for the full review, let the pictures whet your appetite.

Red as juicy tomatoes while white as super-hot nurse. Yummy!

Sepang Track Day #1 - 2 Nov 2008

It was one of the historic day of my life. At last, I attended Sepang International Circuit (home of Malaysia F1 and MotoGP) not as a spectator anymore. I was there participating in November Track Day. What a lovely day it was.

I can now happily strike it out from my 'To Do List Before I Die'. :)

Sepang MotoGP Ride, 19 Oct 2008

Kawasaki Malaysia invited all Kawasaki bike owners to join the 'big ride' to Sepang MotoGP 2008 on 19 Oct 2008. An opportunity that I couldn't miss to be part of the big Kawa family. Their target was to gather 300 bikes (all kinds) in Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur and ride together on a 6okm journey to Sepang International Circuit (SIC). The ride started at 930am and we reached SIC at around 1015am. And we had brilliant day afterwards.

In the end, Rossi won the race with such a big gap from Stoner. And we were all wet going back home due to Thunderstorm!
