Pics of my previous 4 wheel drive rigs!

These are old pictures of my previous hobby..............ahh.........brings back memories.................

Hmmmm.....pics are about 9 years back IIANM............

Enjoy mates!

She's a real beauty!

Aiyah, suppose to write a few words proclaiming her beauty but don't know how to put text and pics together.

Anyway, hope you like the pics. Will post more later once I read the fooking manual for the all in one printer which can scan, copy, print.

Wait a minute, got some old pictures from my old hobby during my younger days when I was still very active in the 4 wheel drive scene.

Enjoy mates!

Pics of my Stumpy!

New shoes!

Put on new shoes for my Stumpy today!

Running Maxxis Detonator 26x1.25 road semi slick tyres. They are SKINNY though and looks out of place on a MTB full suspension bike. Like the acceleration but taking it cautiously on the corners and turns as I'm still not used to the tyres.

Just came back from a night 38km ride. Feels great!

Hmmm.....to think of it I've got too many tyres.

1) Continental Explorer Supersonic 26 x 2.1
2) Ritchey WCS ZED Race 26 x 2.1
3) Specialized Roll X Pro 26 x 2.0
4) Maxxis Detonator 26 x 1.25 road tyres

Even thinking of trying the Continental Twister Supersonic 26 x 1.95 and Panaracer T-Serv 26 x 1.25. Yeah, I'm a weight weenie.....every gram counts when your engine is your body!

Think of it, I have never posted pictures of my Stumpy and myself. Will get the camera out this weekend and shoot some pics.

Got to ask Dave in Singapore to get me some bike stuff when he comes back here in December. Or is that next year mate????? Where's my helmet light??????

Have a good week mates. This week will be a turning point for me personally. Will post more details when the time's right.

Chow!

Renewal of old friendship

It's been a while since my last update but I've been up to my balls so to speak with work and business! Furthermore there was nothing significant to put in here anyway.

But I did manage to clean up my Stumpy and she's looks absolutely SEXY in her flat black!! And as far as my cycling is concerned, I have not been riding regularly and have suffered in terms of stamina etc. I rode last Tuesday with the gang and I opted to sprint up Signal Hill even though I knew my fitness level was way outttttttttttt.............. I almost fell unconsious at the top and had to lie down for about 15 minutes to get my breath back! I should have taken it easy and pedaled up steadily......am no Lance Armstrong..........! After that I took it easy throughtout the rest of the ride and even managed to develop a cramp at the end of the ride even though I was already cycling at a leisurely pace. I really suck and I knew it. High time for me to stop feeling sorry for myself and re-develop my fitness levels by riding regularly. Fuck the weather and the excuse of no time!

And yes, I managed to meet up with an old friend from my hometown, Tawau whom I have not seen for the past 13 years. He's currently working in Singapore for an aviation firm and doing pretty well too to boot. He was here in KK a few days back and we met up at a drinking hole in Lintas and we chatted and cracked our vulgar jokes till 2 am. It was really nice to meet up again after all these years! Many thanks to Jane Chen my mate from Burnaby, Canada for passing me Nick's email address in Singapore!

It leaves me with a nice warm feeling catching up with old friends from all over the world especially those that I have not met or communicated for donkey years.

Cheerio and 73's...........
