" What a week for me "

This is the first time i participate in the SBBF. I was really excited about it and really want to make it a great day out. The event was held at Suntec City near the fountain on 15-16 Sept 07.

I just got my new side box and front wheel cover from Madman ( He sells bike accessories ) a week before the event. How can I get it fix on time? I decided to DIY as i know my regular mechanic, Ah Koon will not able to fix for me. He is always busy with servicing bikes. For accessories installation, I guess he just don't border too much especially the accessories are not brought from him.

11 Sept 07 - A hot sunny afternoon. I decided to get my side box fix. I went home around 2pm, leaving my works to the good hand of my contractors. I start getting the side box fix. First, I want to install the chrome rack. It really tough to get the rack onto the back fender's screw, and l realise that the exhaust pipe was in the way blocking the rack. I have to remove the center screw of the exhaust pipe to lower the pipe before i can get it fixed.

As the exhaust pipe was poping up to the rack, i can't fix the box right to the front of the rack. I have to push back about 4cm to get it installed. Lots of sweat and dirty hands, finally i got it all fixed up around 5.30pm. WOW.... i so happy ... but than, one more thing, my front wheel cover, how?

12 Sept 07 - I went down to Ah Koon's place and look look see see... Actually i want koon to shift my 2 side lights from my fender to my side box. Met Yas there, and he also want to get his rockstar to dress up for the event. I waited almost 2 hours to get the light shift only after i try to borrow some tools from Koon to start doing it myself. However, Koon help me to fixed it.... Ilove my purple side light.

13 Sept 07 - My bike cannot start in the morning!!! panic as how i going to join the SBBF? I push start in the afternoon and ride all the way to Koonz., bring along my front wheel cover. As usual, koon was busy doing overhaul for a few bike. I ask koon to change my battery ($38) Ex or not??.

This time i ask koon whether he can fix up my front wheel cover as i much wanted to get it up for SBBF. He rejected me saying that 2 bikes need him to complete by the next day. As usual he will say : " this thing very difficult to install, must take out wheel and brake disc". I paid him for the battery and left with my heavy heart. HOW?? No wheel cover for SBBF....

14 Sept 07 - I knock off early today, thinking how to fix the front wheel cover. Alas, I finally decided to DIY...! First time in my life to dismantle a front wheel... With some interior fitting out knowledge, I took out my car jack.... jack my bike up at my open carpark downstair.. took out my phantom tool box. grab a spanner and opened my front wheel. OMG, i didnt realise that the brake disc alan nut was so tight.... I use all my fucking strength before i get those 4 stupid nut off...!! Fixing the wheel cover was really a piece of cake. Now the best part arrived. How the hell i can put back my wheel in with only myself.... Just as hope are running low, my buddy Robert came to my rescue. with his little lift... My wheel fitted in just as nice as i wanted. Now I have my front wheel cover fixed in one and a half hour. Bravo...........

15 Sept 07 - Working in the morning.... A rainy day... How to go to SBBF with a shinny bike. I waited till 11.15am and rain stopped. I zoom to kKFC from Raffle place. I was at Republic Plaza working then. Reached kKFC.... saw a few PKs... Skullz and Pinkphantom are central of attention.

We hang around for quite a while before we move off as a convoy. Saw scooters, S4, HD and our Goldwings brothers. Short convoy., was really disappointed coz nobody was watching us!!!

Suntec was full of bikes.. we were asked to pak in front of the sponors booths. My bike was right at the front and you know what... Nobody about to look at my beautiful bike... F**K. Pinkphantom was in the competition and skullz also drew alot of photgraphers.

Even Yas got a Ang Mo lady taking photo with him... Watch some performance from VMC and got our goodie bag after 3pm... Big Bike Fest?? walk around and go home :(

Few that our PKs need more gathering to strengthen our relationship.. It like a OTOT thing to me except for the convoy.
