Even non moving will cost you

It's been months .., 9.5 months to be exact.
That's how long I didn't move the XJR-SP.

Last Friday was a bright night with stars twinkling so I decided to bring it for a run.
A 100miles high speed short run actually.

First off - battery busted., so need a jump to make it breath again.

Second - it dies off when I downshifting with clutch in.
... but in constant speed, it runs fine with a little bit of lag .., a 0.05sec lag to be exact.
Suspect culprit - the plugs.

The last I changed was a titanium series and they cost me some dough.

So, bought myself some iridiums this time to replace those titaniums.
A more better and more precise firing.

Now., the SP ran beautifully.

$$Spent - more or less $100 deduct labor.
Mileage - 100 miles
Workshop hours - 1.3 incl dismantling of tank
Fun factor - 95%

Bandaran Carnival Ride

HOG Beunei Chapter was invited to participate in the "Bandaran Carnival" and obviously is a last minute kind of thing, so only handful of the members turned out at the early hour of 7:15......

some quick coffee are needed before heading to the carnival....

Sir Omar Ali Saifuddien Field...the venue where the carnival held....

the standard procedure...."Group Photo"

toured around the carnival....






















new bike group...?

as usual this sort of activity always come with refreshment..

not a ideal place to have my "Sunday Breakfast".....













so out i go for a Dim Sum Breakfast at some where nearby....

Damn..!!! all the guys left without me....so to avoid embarrassing myself, i have to walked across the field with my fullface helmet on...

caught-up with the guys at The Mall...guys planning do some shopping ...i guessed

last stop at the "Time Square"....

the two lovers taking photos under the faked cherry blossom tree...imagined they are holiday in Japan....and shopping too..

and finally ended the day with more foods.....dude, we really have to cut down the calories intake or soon we will need BIGGER displacement bikes....

HOG Brunei CNY Dinner Ride

with the growing numbers of Chinese bikers in Brunei HOG, the Chapter will held its 2011 CNY Dinner Ride (due to the short riding distance but long dinner hour) for its members to celebrate the festive season at the Jerudong Terintak Pantai....

All ready and lets ride to our dinner.....

our Emcee of the night.....

yes... a big round of applause to the hosts who treated us with the festive feast.....Willie.T ( not Willie G), Chin and Mr Tan.....

Long life the 3 wise men...

let the feast begin.........

and the Signature dish of the night..."Grilled Whole Lamb" sponsored by Brunei HD dealer....












apparently everyone is targeting on this.....

Before....






















and After...in 15 minutes

though the lamb are delicious but it always come with bad side effect....













dude need more work-out to burn-off all the calories from the lamb.....

end the night with more gossips and more coffee or tea...

2011 Flag Raising Ceremony Parade

Today HOG Brunei Chapter will take part in the Official Flag Raising Ceremony for the up-coming national day and our mission today will be riding to the Jerudong Fire Station to receive the official flag form other districts carry by varies uniformed bodies or organization and we will deliver the flag to the national Stadium where the ceremony will be held.....Today's turn-out is pretty good, 60 over bikes were at the designated meet-up point ON TIME!!!....surprised...

as usual a briefing by Malek before we hit the road....everyone looks liked paying attention but most of the time all will be forgotten in the 10 minutes.....and most people will look blur and start asking "what's next..?"

Row Call....
