Woodgrove Secondary School's Food & Funfair Carnival

2009-03-18T20:05:00.000-07:00

As usual, I was requested officially through phonecalls, letters and emails to help out. Luckily for Woodgrove Secondary School, Mdm Sung Mee Har the Principal booked me wayback in advance for our Harley Owners to help out. Immediately, there were another 2 requests made to me, also on the same "fateful" day...., 14th March, 2009 Saturday!!!
For me, sleepness nights...., thinking of whom I can relied upon to help out. This kind of event cannot be managed by myself if riders don't responded...., that's it! So, a lot of callings, emailings, sms-ings, reminders after reminders, cajolings to fellow riders to help out.
First, without fail, my old time buddy Philip Seow was roped in to assist. Next, fellow old riders, like JessLey, Lam Fatt Hui, Ben Tan are a must, including Jimmy Ho. But Jimmy was not around. Then comes fellow Night Angels but as all are busy and only Billy is available...., but his bike battery failed him miserably on that morning itself..., panic.
Next, the new group of LostHOGs are the most reliable riders around currently, Fong, Dod, Andrew Chu, Andrew Fletcher...., turned out in fullforce and rode in as the 1st convoy to the excitement of the crowds. But Ben Tan was the 1st solo rider at scene.
Goh Johan will quietly come, so the group from HTG Alex James, followed by AhBoy's group.
Ridhwan Salleh will help whenever he possibly can and he was there...yahoo!
All in all, 22 bikes helped out to my relief.
Cheers to all these bikers and may Best Blessings be upon them always.

LostHOGS with lone NightAngel's ride up North for CNY2009

2009-01-30T03:44:00.000-08:00

It started with Andrew Fletcher throwing open an opportunity to ride up to Ipoh to be with Eunice who is back home celebrating CNY with her family. So after 2 casual meetings over drinks at Changi Village, Dod, Fong & myself agreed to ride with Andrew Fletcher. Andrew Chu declined due to workloads.
As usual, on the morning of 29th Jan 2009 we meet at GP at 8.00am sharp. There was James as pillion with Andrew F. After reaching Ipoh, I bade goodbye to the 3 losthogs and continued my trip to Bukit Mertajam.
On the 30th, the trio rode up to meet me just before the Penang Bridge and I, together with brother Johnny led them all the way to Evergreen Laurel Hotel at Gurney Dr with front parkings assured by Mr Zulkapli (carpark i/c).
Then it was food & drinks galore (Penang Delights) before the group calls it a day and I left for home in Bukit Mertajam. In the evening, Andrew sms-ed me to say they will be staying in Penang for another day instead of going back to Ipoh of which I am very happy with.
At about 11.30am on 31st, I rode to Penang again and took the trio for a round the Pearl of the Orient ride until Andrew cannot take it with his pillion James and it's back to hotel. Along the way, we stopped to take pics of scenic views, have booster drinks, eat durians (durian sellers make us laugh our heads off, saying our bikes are virago), again have the Penang famous assam laksa, hokkien mee, char kway teow, rojak, white coffee, etc etc. The Balik Pulau route took it's toll on Andrew and he is stressed out, blaming the bike for not effective brakes & pillions for making his ride difficult. I suffered damages too as my brake levers went kaput due to the thread wearing off and couldn't hold or lock the lever back. Fong & Dod missed the trip up Penang Hill, Kek Lok Si Temple and also the Snake Temple but compensated by other scenic wonders.
On the 1st Feb, I was sms-ed to meet them along the route after Juru but ended up the trio meeting me at Tapah. It was a good ride home except for some showers along the NS highway. On reaching S'pore, Fong & I went to Raffles Marina and had our drinks....

Month of Dec 2008

2008-12-31T09:59:00.000-08:00

The papers and all the news reporting about bad economy but this was the month I really enjoyed. I had a number of major fine dining (Au Petit Salut, Miz U Cafe, Equinox cum New Asia Bar, Sofitel at Senai, buffet dinner at Orchard Hotel, etc etc, etc. GOD Bless!!!
Cheers to myself and also come into financial bonanza$$$$$$ !!! What economic downturn are they talking about? GOD provides! Believe in HIM and all taken care off. Amen

old kallang airport road - street party

2008-12-27T08:54:00.000-08:00

HOG was invited to boost up the street party at the Old Kallang Airport Road. As usual, met at HDS at appointed time 5.30pm but was never on time. About 25 bikes turned up to support. had a good ride to Old Kallang Airport Rd but was told to wait for 1 hour before the actions start so went drinking and mutton soup at the food centre with Eunice, Andrew F, Dod & Fong. When Andrew Chu turned up, the convoy was moved into position minus the 5 of us, still enjoying our drinks & food but we joined up anyway. However, due to family gathering at Downtown East for dinner, I had to leave before the event was flagged off. Had a good laugh at Downtown East (Yes Man)
Read the Sunday Times the day after !!!

2008-Christmas Toy Run

2008-12-14T18:45:00.000-08:00

This ToyRun was also in tribute to our Santa Klaus Kaiser. Members also observed a minute of silence for fellow HOG, the late Rick Smith. This year, less riders turned up. It was also on a different style. We gathered at HDS, amended the HOG Constitution to cater for the Muslim Riders on the Annual D&D, unfortunately very few Muslim Riders turned up to vote for their requests but the Constitution was supported by all to cater to their needs.
We then rode to the S'pore Flyer and was greeted by the under-privileged children from the Central CDC (KidsREAD)and goody bags were distributed. The GOH was Dr Lam. The ToyRun was followed up by LOH bbq at Shore Restaurant (couldn't attend as my family has carolling at Hougang Mall).

Rick Smith

2008-12-09T15:49:00.000-08:00

Well, another has bite the dust whilst enjoying his ride! Rick Smith - 54 years of age

National Bike Week (S'pore)

2008-12-05T04:27:00.000-08:00

Well, we have our own National Bike Week. I went on Friday (28th Nov 2008) night at the late hours when most booths are about to close, anyway just to have a glimpse of them and being a patriotic S'porean, to support what's "National".
On Saturday, I rode over to HDS to represent the HOG and we rode to Police Academy (fond memories as in 1972 April 11th, I was there for the 1st time of my life to be recruited as a Police Officer). Here, many makes of bikes were represented.
The we were marshalled to National Stadium carparks for regrouping as the convoy was huge (making an impact) before we rode to the Flyer. Well, nothing much on shows, very bland and too simple! We had our lunch at O'Leary and late scooted home! So much for the Natioanl Bike Week, can't hold a leg to those in M'sia and the ones in Thailand, no where and no way!

Invitation from Red Devil MC

2008-11-09T16:46:00.000-08:00

Red Devil Rock Singer & JoKiNg

Red Devil MC has their 2nd annual bike meet, HIT N RUN 2008 on 9th Nov 2008 at 16 Aloha Loyang. I participated on their evening activities for a base entrance fee of $6.00 and supported the club with a purchase of 2 T-shirts ($30.00). As with Red Devil, live music is a must so the atmosphere was loud and electrifying. Met many old riders and renewed friendships.
Prior to the 9th, on the evening of the 8th, Philip and I were joined by some new riders (AndrewF & Eunice, Andrew C, Dod S, Jordon, Fong, San Chuan) at Black Angus, Orchard Parade Hotel. We drank to a tune of $394.20. Then we rode the evening out to 11 Changi Coast Walk, SAFRA Resort Sea Sport Shore Restaurant and had another session of drinks ($118.15).

Passing On of A Good Acquaintance in my Riding Circle

2008-10-31T19:06:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday evening 26/10/2008, I received a SMS saying that fellow HOG member Kaiser whom I affectionately addressed as Emperor has passed on. I was shocked as he is of a young age (49). Anyway, that's life and I had known him since the day he started riding his (7777) ultra classic to pick up his then girlfriend Farida at B/147 Tampines which I was also staying at that time. Later, they moved out to Loyang Valley and we still met regularly either on HOG events or across M'sia rides. He was also an active member of The HeadHunters and known as Houdini because of his appearing & disappearing acts.
The funeral procession to Mandai Crematorium was yesterday (31/10/2008 Friday), with so many fellow Head Hunters coming across from M'sia besides our local HOG & other groups joing in. Fellow rider Tom Chandler was again the pastor for another HOG. The procession to Mandai Crematorium from S'pore Casket was a huge queue of Harley m/cycles besides some others.
As when everything was over, we headed to his home at Loyang Valley and reminisced the good old days with lots of food and drinks. I met his 2 other brothers & sister, his family wife Farida, son Simon & daughter Asheley besides the wife's family members whom I know since the days at B/147 Tampines Ave 5.
And a last minute dash to Church for All Saints' Day!

Educational Rides

2008-10-26T04:33:00.000-07:00

HOG Singapore organised a ride to 2 places locally on 26th Oct 2008. The first was to the Bedok New Water Centre (the only centre amongst the many for visitors and guided tours). Well, it was something that all Singpaorean can be really proud of. You should know how we are being threatened with the water supply by our neighbouring country. Now the table is turned on them. Their excess water which is a money-making natural commodity is now flowing into open seas instead of properly channelling for our usage. As the saying, when chased to the wall, even the frightened dog will fight back... haha.
Next we had a hearty sumptuous lunch at a Muslim Restaurant before hitting our next point of visit..., to the AirForce Museum. I am surprised by the way our AirForce started with 2 borrowed Cessna to what it is today, a formidable well- trained AirForce with state of art aircrafts, manpower, weapons, etc. I supposed this is another part where any patriotic Singaporean must be proud of. The situation a neighbour behaves has really made us sit up and take proactive actions to be a peace loving small country. We do not have a choice, I believe, watching how a neighbour reacts.
After that, it was free & easy so JoKiNg (me), SanChuan, Fong, Dod, Andrew Fletcher & partner rode to Changi V and have beers!
Then I realised that's a Sunday and Mass to attend so I excused myself to spend some time with The Almighty.

Swing KPE (13/9/2008)

2008-09-14T09:43:00.000-07:00

1 of the many Lamborghinis

Vintage delights

Convoy KPE Swing

The Group making HISTORY on the longest underground Expressway in South East Asia- KPE

It was legs-dragging to be up so early for the event as the previous night of partying at our HOG Annual Dinner & Dance.
I did not meet the convoy but rode there alone and was too early so no hassle to move in, except to excite the early crowds of joggers being brought in by the bus-loads. They are supposed to be in the Guinness World of Records for being the longest procession of Lantern Parade for this Mid-Autumn Festival. Some joggers are on the competitive list for the 5 & 10 km respectively.
There were vintage cars, followed by taxis (2 different companies using compressed natural gas), the Lamborghinis (Gallardo, Superleggera, Murcierllargo) and Lotus.
Our Harley Convoy came in much later and was made to ride all over before coming in. I was watching with glee..., seeing the convoy being moved around to the exasperations of the riders. Since I was the early bird, I also had a good hearty breakfast provided on the starting point and by the time the convoy came in, I am filled.
The Lamborghinis owners were proudly revving up their engines (sound) to our delight until fellow rider of Night Rod Louis started his bike and showed what a sound he has on his CFR finely tuned pipe. It beats all and as quickly, the owners of the Lamborghinis stopped their engines. Wow! That's what I loved about.

We were then ushered in as the front line convoy with lots of sound wanted and we didn't fail them especially with Louis' pipe. After coming out, I left the convoy to be with family and time for Sunday Mass... LORD bless!

Annual General Meeting cum Dinner & Dance 2008

2008-09-14T09:30:00.000-07:00

The AGM started with a round island ride from HDS at 3.00pm on a Saturday (12/9) and landed at the Zoological Gardens (Lodge) at about 4.00pm. It was a very well chosen place amidst the thick foliage with lots of fauna and flora. We were made very welcome by the staff which I appreciated very much.
We got our Tony Goldman as Director and assisted by Barney Philips. I had tried proposing Colin Hughes when I came to understand that Chris Wesley is stepping down but Colin turned down my proposal.
After AGM, it was a short break for the Zoo staff to rearrange the Lodge to a Dinner & Dance setting. We had a live band fronted by all Caucasions which I personally think is most appropriate and sutiable. The buffet was good, wine and beer free-flow, music was inline with HOG's functions and great fun catching ups with other riders. The Zoo also threw in a good show. HDS new GM Dorothy was inspiring besides being sporting. I am always lucky on the lucky draws. Paid $50.oo for the D&D and got every single cents back on the lucky draw besides the many souvenirs.
Ended the night late, hoping to be readied for the next morning event..., the Swing KPE ride!

KPE Swing & Opening Rehearsal Ride

2008-09-06T08:18:00.000-07:00

JoKiNg & friends

Harley Davidson riders (1st to vehicular group to be in the KPE) - front row 5th-JoKiNg

It's a Saturday(6/9/2008). Harley Davidson bike owners are invited by the organising committee of the "KPE Swing & Opening Ride" to grace the occasion and today there is a briefing and a partial rehearsal. Besides us, only vintage car owners, top-end car owners like Lotus, Lamborghinis are invited beside the taxis....... well !!!
We met as usual at HDS and rode off from there to the Tampines Rd and moved into the newly completed KPE (longest in South East Asia if not Asia). There was a slight drizzle but the atmosphere of being there was "if I have to explain, you'll never understand". We were the first to ride the length of KPE and briefed by officials for the actual day "swing & opening" flagged of by none other than our President Nathan himself. Be there and be an owner of a HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTOR CYCLE as the saying goes..., the last biker on this Earth will be riding a Harley !!! Cheers

105th Anniversary Ride - by HDS (30 Sep 2008)

2008-08-30T07:50:00.000-07:00

Simon & Colin (replica)

At the Flyer:(left to right standing) Agnes, Angie, JoKiNg (sitting) Simon, Colin, Mark

That's JoKiNg & Wife Angeline

Me? 2nd bike on the right !

I missed the previous night gathering at HandleBar due to a working place "bollywood nite" at Raffles Marina at Tuas.
It was a ride that I told Angie to come along. Although I've been riding (Harley Davidson bikes) for more than 14 years, she has never been on a convoy ride before. We took off and smacked right in the middle of a heavy downpour. Since we had taken to avoid getting wet twice along the PIE but still got caught, we decided to ride on. Well, as usual at the meeting point of Dempsey Road carparks, many early birds had turned up and most are drenched. We got our goody bag and later rode convoy from the above carparks via Singapore famed Orchard Road right to the S'pore Flyer. Here's where the eating and drinking commences until late into the evening. All in all, there were closed to 300 bikes on a rough estimates, many of whom I have not seen for sometime are being seen. It was a good ride though, it was also my first close look of the S'pore Flyer although it had been operational for sometime already. Anyway, again it happened...., I was on the evening Channel News Asia Bulletin!

once again, raffles marina tuas anniversary's invitations

2008-08-24T06:03:00.000-07:00

It has been raining cats & dogs the past few days so when I took a look at the sky this morning, it was like, well...gotta get the bike out for a spin and since Raffles Marina Tuas has invited Harley Riders for their 14th Anniversary Celebrations, why not? I arrived early, of course seafront parkings, just beside the berthing area, had my coffee whilst waiting for some other fellow riders to turn up. It was not a long wait anyway..., Dod Sng & Andrew Chu came rolling in with their "sewing machines". We then combined to have mee siams, satays, rojak and beers to gulp down. It was a nice cloudy morning with an air of festivals, regattas, magic shows, snake charmers, belly-dancers, taekwando displays and many leggy models manning the car booths (mini-coopers and some others). Families with children splashings in the pool and many babes strutting in their teeny-weeny bikinis...... wow! Good thing is that I met an old family friend (rider too) Mr Nigel whom I have not seen for sometime already.
By mid-noon, then the 1st convoy of Harleys came in. It was then, the head of the Raffles Marina catering, Mr Martin Chan came over and called out my name.., JoKiNg and handed over booklets of food vouchers and an envelope of beer coupons, compliments from the President of Raffles Marina Club, Mr Francis Lee. Well, now food galores and drinks freely flowed until late afternoon when I remembered it is a SUNDAY and I have to be in Church at least, for a reflections of the week. I then took off and ran into heavy downpour..., all wet!
Well, a quick bath and change and Holy Trinity Church bound. GOD bless!

Jack's Neo - Money No Enough II

2008-08-14T00:09:00.000-07:00

As a token of appreciations from local movie producer Jack Neo, HOG members were invited to have a preview on the screening of the movie, "Money No Enough II" on 3rd Aug 2008. We were amongst the Guest-Of-Honour MP Mdm Lim Hwee Hwa and many LTA officers. Well, as for my personal opinion, we were made to film more than 4 hours onn site in the blazing sun and out of it, appears only for a few seconds. I still can't connect the relevance of having a convoy of Harley Davidson bikers riding past a couple of a "cub chye". I honestly don't see any connections with our parts although it is just a glimpse. Luckily for me, being the last biker in the convoy, I was seen though. Being a "calefare" in the movie is better off than our poor HOG bikers! Anyway, I took it as......, we are immortalised so long as the movie is around. Self-consolations, yeah! HaHa!

2008-08-10T06:07:00.000-07:00

Ah Boy (TopGun) requested me to ride for his niece's wedding, although a wet day! It was fun as usual with lots of "makan makan" and opportunities to meet many other riders. The joy of being remembered by fellow bikers although we have never been riding together as passing friends beside the organised ride..., is a feeling of gratitude and being wanted. That's a true biker friend, Ah Boy! Cheers!

jurong west sports & recreation centre

2008-08-10T06:00:00.000-07:00

L to R : Pang Jiamin, JoKiNg, Pang Jiating, Jessebelle Lim Jiajia, Pang Jiaxin (pretty young ladies)

The convoy riding past the VIPs and crowds on the stands!

The evergreen................ JoKiNg with National Colours in balloons !

This was being requested by the school I am with to have a convoy to help celebrate the National Day Observance Ceremony. It was a last minute thing and gladly.... with much appreciations, the following riders supported me eventhough the meeting time was on a Sunday 3rd August 2008 at an unusual early hours......., 7.30 am (wow).
I had Jess Ley (heritage softail), Jimmy Ho (fatboy), Hashim (roadking), Sabar & daughter(roadking), Dod Sng (sportster), Andrew (rocker), Hashim's fellow Independent member (apologies name forgotten - sportster), Salleh Ridhwan (night train) and me (roadking) to grace the occasion. It was a happy scene with us entering the new stadium tarmac and the crowds really roared to see us riding in. Gives all riders a sense of feelings that 'if I have to explain, you will never understand'
The bikes were fully decorated with white and red balloons (national day flag colours) and after the event, I even rode home with the balloons. A cruising police patrol car with the officers gave me a fright but they encouraged me with their thumbs up and along the way home, many Sunday outing vehicles slowed down to take pictures of me...., well ! What a blessed me !

some of the many events

2008-08-10T05:54:00.000-07:00

Well, we had our R2R again but unfortunately, only 1 KL rider Mike Gan turned up. I took the opportunity to ride with him around Singapore after picking him up from HDS.
The next morning, I left home early and that was indeed a blessing, I later realised that those riders going over half an hour later, were caught in a massive jam along the Singapore side. Since the appointed time and with added another 1 and a half hours of waiting, I decided to ride on my own up to KL. Along the way, I caught up with some early birds so there was no fear of losing my way once inside KL. I even had a durian feast with Tony, formerly from Samsoon Motors! Great fun in KL HRC as usual. The ride back was smooth and the best thing about this event was.., either way was cloudy with no rain...., a dry ride up and down. Time for Sunday Mass back home, GOD bless me indeed!

2008-06-29T19:53:00.000-07:00

The SOUTHERN MOST TIP of mainland Asia !
Hi,
there was..., considered a huge turn-out this morning, close to 40 bikes for the trip to Tanjong Piai. Surprisingly, many are new riders with some expatriates recently posted here and conversely, a few of the older ones are going back to their homeland like Peter, Rene Heim and others. There were also a new group of LOHs (very sexy indeed) tagging as pillions.The ride was slow but the scene are typical Malaysian scenes with kampongs and many fruit orchards along the way. Wild animals like the common macague, iguanas and squirrels can be seen too if you are observant enough.We had a sumptuous lunch at the floating pier where they also run a resort like hotels. We had tin-foiled baked fish, steamed fish, prawns in rendang, prawns in tomatoes ketchups, tomyam soup, fried squids, fried rice, mee goreng, 3 stewed vegetables with hot brewing coffee or iced-cold lemonade. After that we rode to the MOST southern point of mainland Asia to check the place out. It is a boardwalks trails with mangrove trees hovering all over, egrets, sea hawks, all those insects connected with mangrove swamps with watch towers all over the place ideally good for couples to make it out. The most southern point has a globe like structure to claim its status being so. I considered another conquest after riding up Cameron Highlands (Gunung Biringchang) recently to the highest possible route by vehicle in peninsular Malaysia which was 1 conquest. The ride back was leisurely and supposed to end at Handlebar's free food and drinks compliments from Rene Heim who is leaving Singapore back to Germany but was caught in a sudden downpour at Clementi side so I headed home instead.
Cheers!
Hope to see more NARRs around such trips (only Patrick was there excluding me)

Cameron Highlands

2008-05-15T08:20:00.000-07:00

Simon started it all with, "hey, long time no ride". So the timely reminder spurred me to sign up for the Cameron Highlands Ride organised by HOG Mr Barney for the Labour Day Holiday. Together with Mark & Audrey, we rode earlier than the main group and as usual arrived at Concorde Hotel KL way before the rest. Stayed a night rocking away at HRC with Mike Gan, Joey, Vinxx & partner before the next morning, joining the main group to Cameron Highlands. Along the way, took off ahead and waited for the main group at Tapah. Put up at Lakeside House, rode up to Gunung Biringchang (6,666 feet above sea level-highest in peninsular M'sia), to Gua Musang, (unfortunately no musangs anymore nor any Guas), later to beefarms, butterfly farms, nicknack shops, waterfalls, tea-gardens/kiosk). Departing day headed earlier to take the scenic route down and back home with good speed and scrappings of footrests.

Visit Malaysia Bike Fest 2007

2007-10-23T06:34:00.000-07:00

I was encouraged by Ali to ride up to KL for the AIME (Asian International motorcycle Expo) & MotoGP so until the very last minute, I was not sure whether my office will allow me to take the weekend off. The minute the go ahead was given, wasted no time calling up Ali to confirm the ride up.
As usual, I am the early bird last Saturday 20/10/07 to saddleup and rode to Pasir Ris ESSO petrol kiosk to wait for Ali. The weather was showing signs of opening up. At the petrol kiosk, there were some m/cyclists already wet in their raingears and 3 of them approached me to chat up, telling how nice to see a Harley and was very and obviously envious on hearing that I am riding up to KL.
We met up and took the PIE to 2nd Link. Reached Concorde and checked into a premier room each and partytime started. On the way, we even had the opportunity to rode with the police escorted Tri-Nations Charity Event which took place in KL the day before. Bikes of all mades are the usual components of this annual event spanning Thailand, Malaysia & Thailand. It was initially a 4 Nations Charity Ride Event but Indonesia dropped out after some years.
We met up with Mike Gan from KL at the Convention Centre where AIME was and looked at the fantastic bike customisations on display.
Later in the evening we had our party at Hard Rock before moving out. This is the 1st time I witnessed a snatch theft blatantly took place along Jalan Sultan Tun Ismail where a Malay lady walking with her husband had her handbag snatched by a motor-cyclist in broad daylight with the crowd to go with.
The crowd at Jalan P Ramlee was fantastic, for once I thought I was in Phuket Rock Hard area.
We went to Aloha before moving off to Rum Jungle Piranha Bar. It's happening, happening to say the least!!!
The next day, we checked out after a late breakfast and rode to Sepang for the MotoGP. Well, it was soaking the atmosphere of a live race but I rather be watching from the TV in the comfort of my bedroom with all angles covered. Although we were at the Grand Stand, we can only see part of the race!
After Sepang, we took a ride to KLIA before heading home.
What a way to spend my hard-earned weekends although missing the MASS in the Church! GOD forgives.

Support the Breast Cancer Foundation Ride

2007-10-02T02:41:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, 29 Sep 2007, we had a tremendous turn-out of riders for the annual pink ribbon ride - the Breast Cancer Foundation and later chilled out at the beach in Pasir Ris.

Live the Dream

2007-10-02T02:37:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, 23 Sep 2007, we did a publicity ride for the contestants in our "Live The Dream". It was fun meeting these aspiring stars and I believe we did get the public to notice the contestants.

Sunset Grills & Pub Spicy Hot Chicken Wings (level 25) - Jerry

2007-07-30T06:20:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday, we had a good turn-out despite the weather. 60 over bikers and pillions rode to Sunset Grills & Pub at Seletar Airbase to test our endurance on the levels of the most spicy chicken wings. Peter Boys was top at level 25.
Later at Tampines Stadium, more than 80 bikes rode 3 rounds at the stadium for racial harmony day...., wow!

Racial Harmony Ride - Tampines Stadium

2007-07-26T06:44:00.000-07:00

Looking forward to this Sunday Ride for Racial Harmony at Tampines Stadium, hope to share with a willing pillion!

Annual Rock to Rock

2007-07-25T01:38:00.000-07:00

R2R this year was a very personal ride for me with a friend. We had our fun at HRC S'pore on Friday evening (20/7) where for $10.00 as member of HOG, we got to enjoy the starters which is more than enough to fill me up. I also contributed to the CCF for a golden ribbon clip.
The following morning we started early eventhough the previous night at HRC ended with a long ride until early morning. I did had a 2 hours of sleep before heading out to KL with Mustang. The ride was fast and furious, we had our fills along the route and got separated in KL by a dividing wall that looms up suddenly but both managed to reach Concorde Hotel with minimum fuss. We are more than early and we met our long time trusted buddy Phil who entertained us at Spices for brunch.
The joy of seeing long time fellow riders in KL, catching the good old pioneering times as Harley owners were always great feelings. The 7 piece band at HRC KL was fantastic. The crowd is something we can't have in S'pore. CrossRoads was also as great with so many bands taking turns to entertain us. We even squeezed time to visit Petaling, Saturday evening Mass at St John's, Bukit Nenas. As usual, being the 2 of us, we ventured more than just only KL centre itself.
Always fun to have similar fun-seekers like Mustang and Phil around!

raising funds / rides / charities

Last 30th June, had a big turn-out from fellow riders to raise funds for needy children in my working place. We didn't do any rides but having our beloved "iron horses' parked for photo-taking and each photograph, we charged $5.00. At the end of the day, we managed to raise a few hundred $$$ ! (not bad for a primary school and located in the HDB heartland).
I wish to place on records my sincere appreciations to the following riders:
Jimmy Ho, Jess Ley, Philip Seow, Agnes, Goh Johan, Patrick Foo, Billy, Chris & Kim, Fei & partner, Ali Barshad, Melvyn D'Oliveiro and most heartening to HDS Richard Park, Omar, Kim and colleague who so kindly volunteered their time and bikes for the occasion.
We're not only riders looking for fun, we are fund-raisers too, we know how to enjoy and we know how others need us too. Thank you all and GOD bless.

Thinking Aloud:
I've this urge to acquire a new softail custom, one of my favourite model. The only setback and much thinking is the forward control which is slightly difficult for me. If all goes well, that be an addition to my RoadKing.

I am definitely into riding but also love to know more about the engines. I am into basics so if there are like-minded enthusiasts who knows the mechanics and workings of m/cycle engines (irregardless), post some notes if you may.
cheers

ME & MY FLHR ROADKING HARLEY DAVIDSON

2007-02-08T07:20:00.000-08:00

I am better known as JoKiNg in the Singapore riding fraternity. JoKiNg is created as a partnership between my beloved bike and me..., Joseph roadKing Ng hence 'JoKiNg' (3 in 1). When Harley Davidson motor-cycles were officially brought into Singapore, I immediately placed an order for a XLH Sportster 883. At that time, I used a slogan..., 'Sports for life and everafTer' hence 'SportsTer'! It was of silver metallic colour. I rode about 6 years with the Sportster, then I went for a FLHR 2001 Twin Cam RoadKing. It was double tone with royal blue and diamond ice. Unfortunately on one of my forays into Thailand, I badly crashed it so I traded in for another new replacement 2002 of the same tones. It is still with me...., wow!
