A Singapore Biker’s Life

On Thursday 13th July 2006…

My bike dropped… again!!!

aarrrgggggggggggg………

Well… This brings about one issue I have with buildings who are NOT BIKE FRIENDLY!!!

Well, what do I mean by bike friendly.

Well for one…. Have proper lots for bikes!!!

Two, barriers that are wide enough for bikes to pass through!!!!

I never really understand why they have to make their barriers extend all the way to the end… If this is not a lame way to prevent bikes I don’t know what that is.

For this case… it was
The C*** Hotel Car Park!!!(Near Suntec)

Why… cos the barrier was so narrow, I could not pass without damaging their barrier, I even tried to "pay" with my cash card.. like a car to enter but they refused… so I had to "park" my bike to call for the attendent… there was a slight slope and my bike rolled and "dropped"…
Normally there is a side crash bar to protect the sides but this one… the bike hit the curb… on the fairing… aaaaaarggggggggggg

Sianz….

Best thing of all, there were 2 cars behind me and they did not even "try" to help….

Sigh….

Anyway, since the bike was down… I tried to push it in @ 45 degrees pass the barrier….

Then I saw it… green liquid…
Coolant… sianz….

Anyway… Then I saw smoke after I stared the bike….
Mega sianz….

After I found a spot to park… green fluid poured… lagi sianz….

So I decided to pop by Looi’s (My regular workshop)…

Going out had no problems…. but then I started to feel a fish tail…. then I thought I had damaged the wheel alignment… sianz x 100… then the rear wheel spun and down the bike when while going up the car park slope…

imagine seeing your bike sliding down the car park slope… sigh………

Cos the coolant was pouring now… the coolant caused the tyre to spin… coolants are slippery..

sianz….

Anyway here’s the damage…

I made some calls… the coolant replacements would cost about 600……… sigh………

Then after some time, Looi’s called… total repairs charges……. 80 including transport.
30 for transport.
20 for coolant…
30 for damaged pipe….

Praise God!!!

Thank God that the repairs was much lesser than expected…

But this delima comes….
Next time…. Will I try to "protect" their barriers??
Or will I "try" to stretch the barrier to allow my bike entry?
or risk dropping my bike again??

temptation………
