Little Honda!

Cause Im gonna take a ride with you
Were going down to the honda shop
Ill tell you what were gonna do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt
Ill take you anywhere you want me to

First gear (honda honda) its alright (faster faster)
Second gear (little honda honda) I lean right (faster faster)
Third gear (honda honda) hang on tight (faster faster)

Its not a big motorcycle
Just a groovy little motorbike
Its more fun that a barrel of monkeys
That two wheel bike
Well ride on out of the town
To any place I know you like

First gear (honda honda) its alright (faster faster)
Second gear (little honda honda) I lean right (faster faster)
Third gear (honda honda) hang on tight (faster faster)

It climbs the hills like a matchless
Cause my hondas built really light
When I go into the turns
Lean [tilt] with me and hang on tight
I better turn on the lights
So we can ride my honda tonight

First gear (honda honda) its alright (faster faster)
Second gear (little honda honda) I lean right (faster faster)
Third gear (honda honda) hang on tight (faster faster)

Responsible Dirt Biking

Interesting article: Tread lightly!’s Tips for Responsible Dirt Biking

People who ride at TM, please don’t throw your trash at the trail entrance. I would go down with Knut and a sack and pick up the rubbish myself but my time is rather tight right now. Maybe I’ll do that when I come back from Boston.

TM trail ride 1 Jun 2008

I’m blogging from my sis’s laptop now. It has bluetooth! Therefore we have photos!

Today I had my first encounter with a steep climb and a dropoff. I crashed a few times (as usual) but did not break anything 🙂 However my back hurts now…. and I have lots and lots of washing up to do.

If you go trail riding, it’s worth it to invest in a pair of MX boots. Today my leg got trapped under my bike and I rolled a few times before stopping. If I hadn’t been wearing MX boots, I’d probably have a bad sprain or a torn tendon. Instead I was able to walk away from the bike and later get on it, start it and continue riding.

Here’s a photo of lonely Knut. I didn’t include the photos of the rest cause I didn’t ask their permission.

Call for donations: SATan’s off-road fund

SATan needs:

A pair of MX pants (she’s already torn her jeans, burnt her calf, think it’s time to get a pair)
New glasses (no I mean really)
Goggles
MX Helmet (to fit the goggles)

Knut needs:

Front brake lever again (buying 2 of them) $14 each
Needs to get his headlight looked at

OMG

One of the guys who was riding with me today broke his collar bone

Cause I went home after the first round and they decided to go in again after lunch on a more challenging trail… and since I was a newbie I ‘zi dong’ go home, then now I received news that he got injured.

Hope he’s alright.

TM trail 24 May

Damage:

Knut:

• fuel tank fairing thing came off when I banged into a tree. Is tied on with cable ties now.
• Brake lever was twisted, now has a crack in it when helpful friend tried to bend it straight again.
• Because of brake lever, brake light is now perpetually on.
• Headlight is either high beam, or nothing,
• Signal lights couldn’t cancel, but was solved with a bit of RP7.

Me:

• some bruises and scratches
• broke my glasses beyond repair. Am now wearing nerdy spare glasses.
• helmet has some minor scratches, meaning that it has sustained some mild impact.
• Tore my jeans
• Injured my tongue. I don’t know how.
• Now will have a nervous breakdown every time you mention the word “sand” to me. IHATESANDIHATESANDIHATESAND take that sand away from me nooooooo 😦

Memorable crashes:

• In soft sand, flew over the handlebars, tore pants, broke glasses, scratched helmet, scratches and bruises, injured tongue(?)
• Banged into a tree, forced fairing away from fuel tank, screw broke.

Memorable incidents:

• Major jam on SLE. Accident. Could see smoke and smell funny smells. Ended up riding on road shoulder.
• Friend was 1hr late… but never mind la. There were many other bikers around to talk to.
• Rode through a path that had cattails growing on both sides, was really beautiful… looked like a scene out of a movie 🙂
• Found a secret beach! Lovely clear water, no other people in sight, even has a plastic chair to sit down on… mmm. Unfortunately, that also means theres a lot of sand 😦
• Met A LOT (line seemed to go on forever) of 4wds on the way out. The people looked comfortable in their vehicles. Unfortunately they were all stuck and not moving, cause I dunno why. I wonder how fun that is, following the bum of the car in front of you and ambling along at an extremely slow speed -_-

Would upload the pictures if it wasn’t such a pain in the ass. (My com doesn’t have bluetooth)

zhng

Bikes and cars are like dollhouses for men. There’s always a wide selection of new (and sometimes kinda unnecessary) stuff you can buy for them and deep down, the main purpose of zhnging the vehicle is so that it will give you a good feeling when you look at it… like woah I spent so much on this thing and it’s so “swee” and nice now.

Women zhng… um…. themselves.

Oh no not again

My sis is cute.

Remember that time I bough a brand new brake lever?

Well not even a month into getting it, my sis dropped the bike and twisted it. LOL

Today I bought yet another brake lever, and a pair of handguards to protect them. Acerbis ones leh, no joke. Very bling bling de.

Damage: Brake lever $14, Acerbis Flag handguards $30, standard bar mounting kit $30.

P-plates

Knut looks very silly with p-plates on him.

Not cool le wor.
