Just came back from one hell of a thrilling ride! Damn techno music really DRIVES me to drive fast haha...
Met a new Mercedes Benz C200 (I think its 200, there are other C models) Kompressor on the PIE, going home from Jamie's place. The driver really felt like going fast... was keep presurring slower cars on the first lane.
I just suddenly felt the urge to hunt it down with my dad's GS300.
I remember chasing it down going pass the long left bend towards the clementi ave 6 exit, the C200 was really pushing it going around 150km/h... I was not that brave (I do not want to deface my dad's car), so I shifted into manual and cleared the corner with a little engine brake. After that I was in a lower gear and that gave me a clear advantage with acceleration on the short straight before the right bend.
I overtook him and passed a few cars on the 3rd lane, he switched into the 1st. I put the pedal to the metal and left him in the dust. Just as he was catching up, I had to exit so I can go home... I stuck my hand out the window, to say "good race" but not sure whether he saw my gesture...
During this short but exciting street encounter, I think I did some excess of 150 - 160km/h...
Damn it feels good to hunt down another...

Transport Problems
Hello all...
Just a week ago after class, I walked out of school as usual but only to find that my front tire is flat... Well... no choice, I had to leave it locked and later drive from home to pick up my bike. Luckily after I had removed the front wheel I was able to fit it into the back seat cabin with relative ease... I changed the flat tube with a new one the following day.
Then a few days later, my left gear shifter lever broke!!! You can imagine the utter shock and disbelieve I experienced when I was on my way home and trying to change gears! Hmm... I know I have to change it, I will not leave it broken and the chain rattling all the way on my trips to and from school. I thought that bringing my bike for a gear lever transplant will cost me alot, but when I brought it to a nearby bike shop, the old malay uncle only charged me 18 bucks!!! He was a really nice and friendly old chap, did the transplant (not just the left, but the pair as they come in a set) in just half an hour. Lots of cool high performance parts for high-end bikes in that shop... gonna go see what I can get my hands on when I'm ready to own a real good bike for leisure.
I was really worried that my cheapo bike is going to fall into pieces just like that after a few months of riding, but now it seems everything is back to normal... for now haha... I spray the metallic rust-prone parts with lubricant frequently, make sure all the moving parts are moving ok... so I guess if you take care of it, it should be fine.
Jamie hurt her back at work while carrying some stuff a couple of days ago... hai so careless... I hope she gets well soon. My poor gal. Been having a painful sore in my throat for a couple of days... hope I get well soon haha... really painful when trying to swallow food :x
