I slow down n slow down... i damn du lan already cos mood also not good. Then i glance at my right mirror n saw his car going to my right n closely trying to squeeze me out. His car head is jus beside my right side of my butt! Think bout only few inches away only. Lucky got one more merc on the first lane coming, n he brake n get behind me again. Donno wats wrong with him. First, change lane didnt check mirror when im beside him. i horn him he should learn his lesson.

I cannot believe that our TP guys are riding around with open faced helmets.

They are suppose to be the icons of safe riding habits and yet they are wearing the kinds of helmet that aint worth a sh*t in the event of an accident.

 

It is a proven fact and also endorsed by the State Pathologist that full face helmets offer better protection than open faced helmets.

 

No standard issue leather jackets with armour protection, no gloves and no full face helmets. What a bloody joke... and people can think of joining the TP as a career. And they are supposed to be involved in high speed chases.... talk about a death wish career. With this kind of work conditions... you gotta be kinda dumb to join this line of work.

 

The bloody irony of it all.

:cheer:

 

I love ur statements !

I dun think the TPs upper management love it too. Anyway, what I am saying is the truth so too bad if the truth hurts.

 

But I would think that those on road duties would be the first ones to complain.

Mebbe they may have been complaining but their complaints have been falling on deaf ears. I am also curious to know why their management have not reviewed their riding gear since the TP came into existence.

 

Since I know the kind of dangers that can be faced on the roads I personally have reservations about working for an organisation that does not provide me the necessary personal protection equipment (PPE) for the kind of hazardous work they expect me to do.

 

Would you??

 

Picture this - a traffic policeman rides to work on his own bike... wearing a full face helmet. leather jacket with armour protection, riding gloves with armour protection and takes it all off.... to put on only an open faced helmet for work and his work requires him to ride, sometimes at very high speeds on the road.

 

A bit funny leh. Singapore Post also the same.

sorry

 

got diff meh

 

ride me baby ride me hee-ha

Coming round Turn 5 and accelerating hard up the hill..........picking up the third gear........speed passing 140 kmh..... cresting the hill and.......... arghhhhhhhhhhhhh damn bloody 4 foot long monitor lizard aka iguana aka biawak aka see kar chua slowly walking across the road.

 

Too close to the left side of the road...... cannot swerve left coz sure eat grass, cannot swerve right coz it crossing from left to right and its body is already blocking almost half the track width. Grip tank hard with knees, grip handle bar hard, grit teeth and hang on........ just missed the tip of his tail!!!!!

 

Looked in the mirror... it was still strolling slowly across the track!!!!

 

Must be a hard core resident of the Pasir Gudang track. Maybe that is it's idea of fun. Scaring the shits out of riders like me.....knowing that it did not have to take any evasive action while we are getting our knickers twisted in knots trying to avoid hitting it!!!

 

Mebbe that is the local iguana population's version of Russian Roulette. The winner is the one that criss cross the track blindfolded at strolling pace 5 times without being run over.

[DeusExMachina]

 

That's EXACTLY the same stretch that I ran past the same reptile on Friday.

 

I saw one on the main straight, but it was on the side of the road already. The one after T5... I didn't see it until the bike in front of me swerved right... I didn't have a chance to swerve... just pure luck that I didn't run over it at all.

I will never ride beside a taxi if I can help it, more so never to be on his left side. They will swerve suddenly to the side if they see a passenger.

 

Try and stay far away from them.

 

Just now while riding in a private housing estate... taxi just shoot the side road stop sign and caused me to e-brake to a stop. Drive on pass me...act blur when I stare at him, like he own the road and nothing happened. Carry hand say sorry at least not so bad. No, just drive as though nothing happened.

 

My friend riding behind me who also had to e-brake to a stop to avoid hitting my rear, gave the driver a farking of his life as he drove by.

 

Sometimes I very tempted to take out my helmet and smash their windscreen.

But my career will be at stake if I did that. Maybe got to 'loon' for a few more years before I go around smashing windscreens. hAHAHAHAHAHAH.

 

And what MID car always kiss you??? Take down the number and shoot complaint letter and you can throw sand into somebody's ricebowl liao.

[Evisceration]

sometimes when people cut into ur lane when lane changing its probably because they never check blind spot ah. sometimes people pass liao happy happy just lane change. we cant really blame them. just have to be very careful ourselves when we are riding on the road. defensive riding applied lo. i own a car license myself but i always check blind spot when lane change

[frosti]

wahhh one good rider...

 

I ADMiT! i'm always blocking the way in e middle of e lane coz I m still learning how to squeeze thru. But know I relaised i should squeeze btn 2 last 2 lanes instead of e first 2. Think those riders behind me must b damn du lan. Pai seh ar..bike too big liao, too heavy for me, don't dare to jus zoom pass everything..

What I know from a friend in SPF, is that the drivers and riders have different licenses. Some enables them to go 40km/h above the speed limit of the road.

I went this morning for the 10 am slot. There were only 6 bikes, inclusive of mine running round the track. Had useful session practicing corner linings and braking points.

 

NoLogicOne and DeusExMachina came for the 11 am slot.

 

Tomorrow... maybe I go and watch, I heard alot of super motards coming down.

 

Quite wary of the 3 hour specials... too many bikes on the tracks.. and that is the day for some high speed showoffs to appear.

 

I slowpoke on the track... so instead of enjoying the ride and trying to practice my lining and braking points.. I will be too preoccupied watching my ass for fear that one of the crotch rockets might slam into me from behind.

 

I rather stick to weekdays and Saturdays.
