My Bike Journey Part 1



  Once upon a time, during my childhood days, i saw a group of biker near my house are in Taman Aman, Senai. Johor. I watched them for quite a time where they tested each others bike. There is one bike which draw my attention, until now i do not know what bike is that was. It has a round shaped bulging headlamp and it made a high pitch whizzing sound which make me fall in love. I said to myself that one day when i grow up, i am gonna get a bike like that too.

  I enjoyed a lot hitching behind my father's bike. He had a 100cc Honda Fame and i can still remember the beautiful headlight shaped like a wing coming out of it. When Boon Siew Honda came out with a new Honda Wave100, my father sold his bike and bought it immediately. I guess i inherited the passion from my father. It was a good bike until the coverset vibrates a lot while riding. That was after my father involved in an accident if i still remember correctly. He sold it for a new bike which enters the market when I'm in secondary school MZ125. This bike has an amazing sporty look but unfortunately its engine is not as amazing as it looks. The gear has some problem after only a year and my father trade it with a new Honda Wave 125 once it was launched.

  My first bike was Modenas Kriss 100 bought by my beloved mom when i finished secondary school. It was a second hand bike but it was in mint condition as the previous owner is a lady. I rode this bike to send my brother to and fro school and i rode it solo from my house to Kota Tinggi. I made it go full throttled, 100-120KM/H for the whole 6 hours ride back and forth until there is black marks on a few areas of the exhaust and it wil make a metal clinging noise if there is a bump. I guess the exhaust is not so durable to withstand hours of continuous full throttled ride.

Unfortunately, this motorbike does not last long. I met an accident while fetching my little brother back from school. An old Volvo hit me on the left leg where my leg cleanly broke while the bike goes under the car. Good thing was my brother is uninjured but he cried a lot, I wanted to tend to him as he looks like he's in a lot of pain but then i realized that my leg was bent and i cannot stand. I went to Hospital Sultanah Aminah JB for a surgery where they put 4 steel pillars in my leg which looks like a TV aerial and i stayed that way for almost 5 months and in cement for another 2 months, I had to postpone my University entrance for 1 year. It was painful memory but it does not break my love for Motorcycle. Thats it for today, I'll continue for another day. Bye!
