+ jangan TAKUT.... +

kali ni post aku lain sikit. tak de tulis cerita pasal latest ride, gamba ride pun tak de.. tapi citer nie ada sikit-sikit pasal dunia ride... bahasa pun guna bahasa rojak lah, sebab kesilapan grammar dalam tulisan english aku ya amat lah banyak... apa-apa pun tak kisah la apa bahasa, apa grammar... janji aku boleh share citer ngan korang... paling tidak pun aku syok sendiri... hehehe

kat Hard Rock

malam tadi masa lepak-lepak kat Hard Rock, port biasa hari jumaat malam sabtu ada sorang member bagi tau... 

+ member + "Roi... adalah dua tiga member cakap ko kempen kuat sekarang..."

+  aku lah + "kempen kuat...?"

+ member + "ye lah ini tahun kan tahun election kat HOG..."

+ member + "derang cakap ko kempen kat fb macam-macam bende ko buat, ko tulis...." 

+  aku lah + " owwhh..... hahahaha..!"

aku tediam jap, tapi lepas tu sambung bual macam biasa. tukar topic sebab malas nak citer panjang berjela... lepas habis set live band aku angkat kaki, balik...

kat atas moto

dalam perjalanan balik bila teringatkan cerita member tadi aku tersenyum sendiri. seperti yang aku jangkakan, cerita-cerita macam ni mesti akan keluar... terutama bila aku agak aktif tahun ni dalam fb HOG Malaysia Chapter. ye lah, mana taknya... awal-awal tahun lagi aku da canang kompang pasal Camping Ride, pas tu aku post pulak citer-citer ride weekend aku ngan kawan-kawan, baru nak reda... aku up plak pasal HORE.... over sell btol la si Roi ni... hahaha...

sampai umah | dlm bilik study

nah... ni aku dah start nak bebel pulak. anyway, sambung balik pasal citer kempen election HOG nie. kalau adalah.... kalau betol lah, ada kawan-kawan yang rasa aku terlebih syok... mintak maaplah. bukan sebab nak kempen, bukan sebab election dan bukan juga sebab nak masuk bertanding jawatan HOG tahun nie...

"I've been there | Done that.... "

so untuk kawan-kawan yang rasa nak bertanding jawatan HOG tahun ni, teruskanlah usaha anda... jangan TAKUT, jangan gundah dan jangan rasa irihati... bukan sebab aku buat semua ni nak cari publisiti tapi lebih kerana syok sendiri.

i've once been volunteered myself to be the HOG Malaysia office bearer. masa tu tujuan tak lain hanyalah sebab minat sangat nak jadi Road Captain. sapa-sapa member yang ada masa election tahun tu mesti ingat "ya saya nak jadi Road Captain, sokong lah saya"... isi borang pencalonan pun cuma isi ruangan Road Captain saja (terima kasih Bro Jalal & Fizan) hinggalah Sdr. Nik Adelin (Hon. Secretary masa tu...) bagi tau yg dia masukkan juga nama saya dalam ruangan Safety Officer.

+ Nik Adelin + "kawe takuk dema kaloh post Road Captain, demo ada chang lagi jadi Safety Officer".... heheh, terima kasih Bro Nik...

maka kalah lah tahun tu dan tak dapatlah jadi Road Captain, tapi dapat jadi Safety Officer. and the challenge came right after i being introduce as a new Safety Officer sehinggalah ke mesyuarat pertama selepas AGM dan ke mesyuarat kedua, ketiga dan seterusnya... tapi aku teruskan juga. meeting tetiap bulan, kadang-kadang tiap-tiap minggu pun ada, tak masuk ride sana sini dan campur aktiviti ride sendiri.. it was never been easy, kena marah kena maki dah sampai mangli tapi minat punya pasal, aku stay dalam committee... timbul tengelam hari berganti bulan, bulan berganti tahun... lepas 2 tahun sampai lah masa AGM untuk election seterusnya...macam sama tahun yang dulu, kali ni aku nak gak jadi Road Captain. dah rezeki, maka menanglah tahun tu... jadilah Road Captain yang aku idamkan. campur tolak setahun, jadi itu ini, meletup sana sini, bang meja dan kerusi especially lepas Johor HOG Rally... dengan berat hati, aku dengan rela lepaskan jawatan Road Captain yg aku sayangi....

thats it...! itu je lah... cita-cita aku nak jadi Road Captain dah tercapai walaupun banyak bende yang aku nak contribute tak tersampai, never been in my mind or plan to go for any post further than being a Road Captain. jauh sekali nak jadi Presiden... now i've better plan, different ball game, different field and different style.

untuk rakan-rakan yang ada minat nak jadi HOG Malaysia Chapter office bearer tahun nie, i wish you best of luck. it's not an easy affair as you must put lots of effort and commitment... kempen kena kempen sebab kalo nak harapkan on the election day it self for people to know u, it's gonna be tough. kempen bukan buat chai, atau jual nama sana sini... tapi kempen la dengan organize banyak aktiviti, ride lah sana sini supaya members kenal siapa empunya diri... jarak masa sampai AGM tak lama lagi, campur tolak adalah 30 hari, belum terlambat sebab masa ada banyak lagi...

as for me, i'll continue doing what i love most - riding and promoting Harleys. i've achieve my dream of being a Road Captain for HOG Malaysia Chapter and now i'm making new many other dreams to achieve. i always interested to promote riding Harley-Davidson motorcycle to the public coz that are most what people dream. at the same time, i'll keep on promoting the legacy and culture in Malaysia Harley-Davidson community. Brotherhood, Love & Respect among Harley owners, great riding stories, riding skill activities and competent Road Marshal for everybody SAFETY. perhaps this year, i should start to do more talking, learning, meeting people and writing a book about Harley scene in Malaysia. A thousand mile journey start with a small step and as beginning i should put all dreams into planning.

to all my fellow Chinese Harley owners, i would like to wish you Gong Xi Fa Chai & more prosperity..!! as for the rest, happy holidays. ride SAFE..!!

#3rd Week | #2nd Ride | 2013

this is the 3rd week of January 2013 and the weekend ride series continues after the Camping Ride which was held the weekend before. this time, i've invited Muhammad Adzri (Adik) and Jinggo to join me for the ride. since Jinggo bike is yet to be ready, he has borrowed Yasir Fat Boy for this ride and left Yasir at home.... hehehe... sorry brah...

our ride route = 135km

meet up point - Rawang R&R

the initial plan was to ride to Malacca. it has been awhile i've not riding to the historical state via the trunk road. I was planning to take some of the old Malacca houses along the way towards the town. unfortunately, the plan was not being materialized as we change the riding plan to Tanjung Malim instead for a breakfast ride.

that morning, Jinggo came to my house before we rode to the meet up point to meet Adik at Rawang. After 20 minutes ride from Subang Jaya we arrived Rawang R&R and Adik came slightly 3 minutes after we arrived. had 1 stick of cigarette, we jump onto our bikes and ride to Tanjung Malim.

Nothing much we did at Tanjung Malim except had a Nasi Lemak for breakfast and chit chatting about the ride. Jinggo suggested we detour to Kuala Kubu and chill ourself at the Pertak Waterfall. Since it was a hot weather that weekend and no objection to Jinggo plan, we make our move to the waterfall.

 We rode from Tanjung Malim to Kuala Kubu via the trunk road. Not much to view along the way except till i saw the road signage that show Kuala Kubu Road. From that signage then only i realized that the old trunk road was known as Kuala Kubu Road once upon a time. 

Kuala Kubu town is still a small town with not much development happening since my last ride to the same place 2 years back. We didn't spent much time around the town as Adik and Jinggo would want to dip themselves into the cilling water at the waterfall. not much story to share with you guys this time, except some awesome photos we took along the way to and comin back from KKB. enjoy.... :-)

#1st Week | #1st Ride | 2013

I was driving to Puchong last Saturday eve after the whole day doin nothing at home when suddenly  i received a phone call from Rid (Mohamad Riduan) inviting me for a ride on Sunday with a bunch of Sea Shepherd supporters. Without taking much time to think, i accepted the invitation and has promised Rid to meet him with the rest of the members at Puchong Gateway on Sunday morning.

I've proposed to Rid that the route for Sunday ride will be towards to Morib using combination of trunk road and highways.

As promised, i woke up early on Sunday morning and rode my bike to the meet up point at Puchong Gateway. 10 minutes late from the promised time and upon my arrival i saw Raez, Yassir, Jim, Rid and Aida already waited for me at the Petronas petrol station. Reza and Adzri can't make it with the group this time due to their late appointment last nite. As usuall, we had a stick of cigarette before makin a move when suddenly Abang Nazli stoppin by with his GS to say hi to us.

So 6 of us, that it... good enough to start the ride that morning and we make a move towards the SKVE to Morib. The initial plan was to ride through Dengkil - Banting trunk road but due to Yassir proposal, we have chosen the SKVE highway toward Panglima Garang in Klang.

It was a great day to ride, great weather with the blue sky and fresh air passing through us on the rides. SKVE Highway is still quiet with vehicles, perhaps not many people knew about it... so we took this advantage to ride and view the beautiful scenery along the highway. Only few spots on the highway were not even but manageable to ride safely.

Upon reaching at the end of the highway, we entered the trunk road from Teluk Panglima Garang towards Banting town. Traffic was quite heavy around the small town with people busy doing their weekend shopping at the market area.

6 Harleys on the road is great enough to shake the town with our roaring engine sound, but it just for awhile before we proceed the ride to Morib.

Arrived at Morib, we stop for a breakfast beside the beach. Not many people were around the place... perhaps it was too early for people to go picnic beginning of the year. As usual, we had chit chat over the breakfast and took some photos before heading back to KL using the same route.

The route we chose in general was a good route to ride. Many things you could see along the road and highways, mainly the scenery of traditional village houses and plantation. Good distance to cover for a short weekend ride so that you'll be back at home before lunch time. Just need to be extra careful of the local motorist that came out to the main road from the small junction and those that turn into the intersection from the main road.

Till the next ride... ride SAFE!!

New Year... New Post.... New Resolutions!!

Dear Friends.....

this blog has not been updated for almost a year...!! demn how lazy am i... i'm sorry for those that used to follow the updates... or perhaps no more follower due to web "yang dah bersawang".... anyway, i'm back... like normal early years, with a new energy and "semangat"... my this year resolutions for this blog is that i'll try to be more active and keep on writing sharing updates on my riding activities and the Harley-Davidson motorcycle scene in Malaysia.....

First things first, my ride has a new color..... okay, not so new.... few months old... although the old paint was still in a good condition but the new CVO paint was so tempting till i decided to change it... and off course, with a CVO decal at both side of the tank. Yellow and Black is my favorite color for 2013 so there is it...!!

the bike now not only has new paint but new radio too.... as much i wanted to keep the original radio on my bike but due to it's setting which does not permit me to discover more frequency in Malaysia.... i've decided to replace it with Pioneer Radio... but this time i add 2 additional speakers and 2 tweeters to support the current speaker which i have... no, not Harman Kardon but Mohawk speakers are good enuf to make me entertained while riding..... thanks to Lee Bikers and my audio tech for a superb work in this "pimp my ride" project.... hehehehe

okay.... 2013 finally came. more ride to do this year which i've missed last year... furthermore it's suppose to be an active year to ride as Harley-Davidson is celebrating the 110th Anniversary this year...!! yuhoooooo...!! so apart from the weekly ride that never been plan, Pataya Bike Week, Phuket Bike Week and Hua Hin Bike Week are in plan... few rides along with other local MCs in Malaysia is great too.... but what i'm dreaming off is attending the 110th Harley-Davidson Anniversary in August this year at Milwaukee US...!! 8 months to go, i definitly desperate in saving money to go for this trip....!!

Well, seems August is quite a long way to go.... why not we start with small first as this month... i'm organizing a special ride which i called Camping Ride.... more to come and stay tune for more updates in this blog....!!

Ride Safe & Ride On...!!

Overview - HARLEY KIDS: Ride with the HEROES

Overview - HARLEY KIDS: Ride with The HEROES

This is a ride event organized by HOG Malaysia in collaboration with Harley-Davidson of Kuala Lumpur and the Malaysian Fire Department (BOMBA) especially for our little Harley Kids; to create an awareness, and appreciation to our local fire-fighting heroes.

Aside from this, the event will bring families closer and provide an avenue for families to do something exciting together. Kids will be given a chance to get-to-know and experience what it is like to be a fireman A convoy of Harley-Davidson bikes will deploy from HDKL HQ in PJ and make their way to converge with the BOMBA Convoy (made up of bikes and fire-trucks) and the entire convoy will be parading into the Putrajaya fire station in one massive joint convoy.

This would be a sight to behold as new Harley-Davidson owners, existing HOGs members, families & children, the Jabatan Bomba Dan Penyelamat Malaysia as well as the invited press members, will ‘combine forces’ and  ‘ride’ as one hence the theme ‘Ride with the Heroes’. Road users will be awed by our awesome convoy and they will bear witness to the unmistakable rumble and roar from the renowned Harley-Davidson V-Twin engines as they eat up the miles and make their way to Putrajaya.

There will be special activities lined up at the Balai Bomba Putrajaya like fire-fighting demonstration and kids will also get a chance to ride a fire-truck, and be one step closer to the our Malaysian fire-fighting heroes.

As for us at Harley-Davidson of Kuala Lumpur and HOG Malaysia, we believe that passion is a flame that burns hotter and cannot be extinguished. As for other fires, we shall ride, rev & roll and show the Malaysian Fire Department (BOMBA) that we appreciate their heroics and their dedication to their job and ultimately to save lives and property from all other types fires. - Harley-Davidson of Kuala Lumpur
