Our man in Cambodia sent me these pictures a few days ago. Tuan Sinos wants to share the joy of his new arrival with all ...
Soooooo ... presenting his recently acquired lean, mean Honda VTX1300C bike ( 1300 cc) !!!!
He went for a test ride to Battambang, the 2nd biggest city in Cambodia, about 280 KM from Siem Reap. Here are some of the scenes ...
Fierce looking, man!
Tengok pun takut sedikit lah!
And they're off ......
I'm sure our motorcycle fans and speed fiends will have lots of comments ...

Wah bro !!! Everytime a step up hoh ? What's next ? Harley Davidson kah ?
ReplyDeleteDear motor cycle fans & friends,
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, the ultimate bike wish for me is a HD but too mahal & susah mahu jaga & maintain here. No qualified mechanic, spare parts got to be ordered from US and most of all, the weather here is helping to "koyak" the HD.
Maybe Wilson Chou, Robert Chin, Mike Yeo & Dtk JJ would consider to ride up to Cambodia from M'sia? Give it a thought OK?
We are having 3 days holiday here and a perfect time to test the VTX further lagi jauh.
Bonne weekend !!
Very nice, Bro Sinos. Looks like you mean business.
ReplyDeleteHey Sinos, just you wait la, I'll send my photos to WJ for posting soon. Just want to compare my bike with yours, takut kalah mah.
ReplyDeleteHow come the photos stop at you starting point? why got no photo showing you speeding down the road?
ReplyDeleteMr Sinos has a new toy
ReplyDeleteDear kawan (s),
ReplyDeleteYes, it is my new toy !!. better ride while we still can. Few more years down the road,we may not even be able to start, push or clean the bike.
Norbert, no worry about kalah or menang one.. I am sure your bike is equally good, if not better. Robert Chin, I have yet to see your classic AJS or BSA? Promise me that you will show it to me when I am back OK?
No pix of me riding down te road, the photographer could keep with us lah. John Lee, I a sure in England there are countless big,powerful & beautiful bikes, right?
Regards,
Hey, bro Sinos.
ReplyDeleteCertainly there are countless of big machines here and the roads here do cater for them and what's more there are various bike clubs that you can join and be part of and go on the members' organised journeys.
In fact I am thinking of getting a bike but in a opposite end - a small electric one. The reason is the cost of fuel and it's zero carbon emmision, mainly for communting to and from work and short journeys. The average cost of fuel here is about £1.20 for unleaded and £1.22 for diesel per litre with high road tax, insurance and high maintenance cost too. I also recently got myself a bicycle too and that was quite fun to ride it as I had not ride on one since school days!!!.
Bro Sinos, wah .... certainly a long way since our bicycle days
ReplyDeleteBro.Anon.,
ReplyDeleteThanks and yes, I still love cycling during weekends & the many public holidays here. Mountain bike & our famous racing bike but no "Raleigh" or Carlton anymore.
Yes, I recall with great joy the trip we made to Serian in the early 70s with Felix Lim, Jude Jong, Ben Wong & few others that I can't recall. they slept at the Catholic Center ands went to my house at Jln.Kereta Api and we cycled as early as 4.00 am. Arrived Ranchang Pool, Serian, swam a bit and cycled back again to KCH. Man, those were the days, when we had some much stamina & guts. Try cycling to Serian now? Heehhee!!
Thanks & Ride On, bro !!
Just like to know from anyone of you, how many of us own big bikes or motorbikes, smaller cc version.
ReplyDeleteI know CLK(m) has a speed boat, Sinos has a new big bike, and who else has what?
I have a Honda Dax 70cc , a Mini motorbike 78' model which was out around the time we were in form4 or form5.Bought it 14 yrs. ago,our late Julian Wee used to own one of those when were in form5 but I like your Big Bike Sinos....can't afford so have to make do with the 32yrs old mini Honda Dax cub cai...

ReplyDeleteYa I remembered the cycling trip to Ranchang pool,Serian....those were the days
Ya, Sinos, Ben, Felix, and some others, we cycled to Serian in the early hours.
ReplyDeleteStill remember WHO pee in the middle of the road when we were half way to Serian and had to 'buang air'?
is that why there are so many holes on the kuchg-serian road? hahaha
ReplyDeleteOf course la, urine acidic so road got burned, furthermore, kena run over by lorries and cars, of course road got so many holes lor.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, JKR already patched up the road since then so no more worries kay?
Hello Sinos, we saw some big bikes at the Trade Center we went, make in China of course, and boy, sure would like to get one if available in Kuching.Makes my saliva drops la.
ReplyDeleteHopefully WJ will show the photos of the bikes soon.
Who cares when they said China made motorbikes are not good, lawa oh if can own one of the big bikes.
Norbert, I'm not sure I got the photo you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteNorbert, I have been using Honda Cub 90cc for the past 30 years. Can't afford to spend money on big bikes...hmmm...wonder how much one cost. When are you ETA Sibu? Give me a call, bro. Cheers
ReplyDeletePhotos of the big bikes at the Trade Center should be in the disc or maybe Ben didn't include the snapshots for you, WJ. Tak apa la.
ReplyDeleteNot very sure yet Gerard, think maybe on 28th afternoon ETA in Sibu, i.e. if we tolak from Kuching at 8am or 9am. Heard it takes at least 5 hours to reach? Will be spending a night in Sibu, want to try out the original 'kan pua mee' there.
Will sure give you a call brother, maybe can meet up with Simon Heng too? If he's not too busy of course.
ReplyDeleteNorbert, can't punish Simon. He will only 'lau-nua' looking at us eating. LOL... He is a vegetarian. I am sure Simon is busy with 'cari makan' (taxi driver) during the day. Anyway, he probably be free during the night.
ReplyDeleteThere are five famous Foochow delicacies as follow:
1. Kam-pua mien (similar to kolok mee)
2. Chow-Chai Hung Ang (big bee hoon)
3. Kom-piang (foochow burger)
4. Tien-piang-ngu (made from rice flour)
5. Chicken Mee Sua (long life noodle)
I understand Nicholas Lau is in Sibu. I don't know him personally but I have heard about him. Famous for his sprint and rugby. In fact I saw him ran once in the SAAA sports meet or the inter school meet. He was good in the 200m. I think he got first in that competition with a time of 22.8sec.
Norbert, we will meet. Cheers
Never had items no.2 and no.4 before, anyway,will try it out if I had the time.
ReplyDeleteYa, Nick is in Sibu, think I'll give him a call tomorrow. Hope he's not on traveling when I'm there. Can always introduce you to him or him to you mah.
Any others in Sibu Gerard? Maybe can have a mini gathering on 28th night?
Fierce looking, Bro Sinos!!!
ReplyDeleteBro.,
ReplyDeleteYes, look fierce only but the rider is not fierce lah..
Robert Chin, the forever young...where is yr classic Norton or BSA bro? Share it with us here lah.
Bon weekend to you all & happy riding too.
