Good advice found on the net.

上个星期参与了一个活动，地点在距离约50-70公里的地方。 我本身是一个比较不喜欢浪费时间的人，必须先说明以下的文章都以我个人观点出发。 首先在时间上的安排，当天是6:30集合，7点OTB (On The Bike)，大家在集合的时候哈拉当然没有问题。当天因为还要等一个人所以延误到7：20分才开车。等人没有错，错的是迟到的人，希望下次大家可以守时一点，十几个人等你一个，难道你不会不好意思吗？ 带头的那个人（感谢带路）必须确保人都到齐后就先带头出发，可以驾去路口，不要等来等去。慢慢开车，你等我我等你大家都不戴帽子，大家也都不知道在等什么，无缘无故就消耗了不少时间。只要有人先慢慢走了，大家自然就知道出发了。 在路途上，我的想法是，大家照顾好自己就好，能驾摩托的都不是小孩子，不是正式的活动（如结婚／葬礼）不需要保持formation，只要大家维持自己舒服的速度，遵守基本交通安全，就算被红灯切断了阵形或秩序也没有关系。只要有转弯，要确保后面的看见就行了。也就是说如果有５台机车，在一个路口，１要等２，２来了之后１就能走了，然后２要等３，以此类推。 在路途上，还是维持自己顾好自己的本分，只要有人带头走，就不要顾虑别的人，自己顾虑自己就好，不会路的就跟紧一点，顾虑别人可能为自己添加危险，也帮不了别人，走在最后的ｓｗｅｅｐｅｒ一定是懂路又经验丰富的骑士，中途要是有什么人有问题，ｓｗｅｅｐｅｒ自然会帮忙，当然如果看见也要帮忙，只是想说大家顾好自己才是最重要的，不要在驾驶途中你等我我等你的情况出现。 维持ｆｏｒｍａｔｉｏｎ真的很累，速度真的被拖慢了很多。１２年前（啊！好久了）我熟悉的方式是，只要前面没有人停下，就是直走，到需要转弯或者是不太清楚的路线（例如Y字路口）才需要停车，路途上跟着自己的速度。还是那句老话，只要每个人顾好自己就行了，难道真的是母鸡带小鸡的游戏吗？ 最后也不要开double signal 其实会造成视觉疲劳，vision fatique，过后会对真的停在路边打double signal的车不够警觉，甚至以为是带路的摩托直接撞下去。 我不能说现在的不好，只是觉得以前的要有效率得多，大家维持这样的共鸣，一直以来也相安无事。上次的活动，我跟着一起排红绿灯，觉得这很没有必要，不实际，虽然知道这是正确的方法。 - See more at: http://cforum.cari.com.my/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=515520&extra&page=106&mobile=yes#sthash.CxjkJ3vi.zaC58Dgi.dpuf

A day to remember "26th May 2014 20:55pm" #Gua Musang

On our way back from Su-ngai Kolok... we choose to ride a different route to gain riding experience.
After we clear Malaysia custom and not long after we spotted route 4 that will link to route 8 about 2hr ride we had link to route 8(408km) toward KL everything was fine until we ride pass Gua Musang... although it was only 8pm the road was dark no lamp post or lighting at all our location was on a hill top 8km away from Gua Musang town..

Mr Teng riding his ST1100 in front of me sudden blackout it was very obvious no brake light and no front light power loss and his bike slow down... I ride pass him as cars was behind me and it was a narrow 2 lane up down road, I was only able to stop almost 5 car length away. As I walk up to Mr Teng position he had try turn off turn on every possible way to start the bike. We suspect the battery flat but no worry as we had back up battery starter... my only worry it's not common while riding battery flat up. As the road was narrow and on and off big truck will pass by Mr Teng is in charge of controlling and guiding the on coming vehicle while I try to figure how to fix the bike. As I open up my bike seat for tools I took my phone from pocket and screen shot a picture  "26th May 2014 20:55pm" the horror thing happen NO NETWORK I'm using the DIGI Malaysia sim card... what if the bike cannot be fix?

While I try to open the left side cover where the battery is located the screw does not even move by force! Mr Teng and me switch place he also can't unscrew the nut so we switch back place and I force open the cover with damage on the side cover. (When we are back in SG our mechanic also can't unscrew the nuts)

I find out the main fuse was not only burst and also melt into the socket! Due to fuse socket had damage we had change several fuse till I risk using a wire and it last the longest ride...

We had survive riding the Malaysia urban legend E8 I broke my muguard due to all the holes...
