busy with my new ride.... =]

been very busy accompany a friend to view bike for the past 2 weeks... while waiting n looking around... my backside starts to "itch" .... lol =P

the bikeshop gave me a very good price if i trade in my baby s4... so got kinda tempted to upgrade... did lotsa calculation for days n days n finally after 2 bikes viewed... i finally agreed to upgrade after a few rounds of bargains... got $200 more for trading in my s4 and got freebies like slider, headlight protector and tank pad... good price for a good mileage... my friends said... after 2days of this n tat.. doing up insurance n stuffs... got my bike 2 days before CNY... bike is a lot taller than my s4 cant reach one side even with my left tiptoeing like hell... goodness its lighter than the s4... till now then i realised tat its taller than cbr1000rr after kaka sat on it and commented.... took some pics of the s4 with my new ride... feeling very sad n excited at the same time... my s4 has done a great job bringing me to lotsa places safely... waited for a very long time to endorse the insurance, fix the frame slider n a dry wash... sayang my s4 for the last few minutes n a last goodbye before i rode off with some tears in my eyes... very first day after taking my bikey... going at ard 70km/h cos dun dare to squeeze traffic... less than 15mins... back pain... start to feel a bit regret.. i want my s4 back... slowly pick up bit by bit.. close my mirrors and start squeezing... felt better.. now then i know y sportsbikes must go fast... kana caught in action... rode pass the bus stop n my parents just sat down there seeing me entering the carpark... OOps... dad gave "chase" saw the bike.. ask this n tat... phew.. i'm saved.. expected something worse though n was cracking my brains on how to announce to them...

that very night... the met kaka, ah dawn, xiao p, eien at eric's place... went to Mr Prata for my breakfast, lunch n dinner... Had italian prata... nice... think next time 2 can share 1.. =] went to top up n try the bikey... comfort zone 150~170km/h.... pickup super damn good.. i almost wheelied... throw clutch too fast from 2nd to 3rd gear at 60+km/h... hit 201km/h but i know i cant control it anymore... eyeview not good... wind too strong cos of the original windshield... things from far is coming nearer at a very fast speed... saw this big cargo truck from far far away and i swear i will hit it if i dun react in 6seconds... after the ride... i know i will need the double bubble... NOW THEN I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS... wahahahaa!!!!
