And it begins!

 Hi!! readers, I am Peter aka Peterockwell,  I live in Malaysia between 2 land mass, work and live in KL and at times spending time with my family in Sarawak East Malaysia (Borneo). 

After a long painstaking months of toying with the idea to start a blog or a website for me to pen, my experiences and views. There is this need in me to share and express my opinions too. As situation has it, I have more time now then before to be able to dabble into this writing journey.

 As I have mentioned in recent FB post 

"I m not a racer or renowned  world traveler/ rider nor am I a riding coach or a moto- journo. I m but a person who own many bikes, ridden a few, travel some, modified several, most of all passionate about bikes, bikes related activities and enjoy hanging out with my fellow biking friends. 

 I just love to share my experience and my views as an ordinary biker."

 I hope you would enjoy the stories and motivate me by supporting these pages.

I wasn't active with the Ratpack.  On one fine Saturday, Lowboy and I decided to go check out some bike shops since both of us are bike bachelors. We thought we may fine one to get engaged with.  First stop a Kawasaki dealer in Jalan Ipoh. First time I lay eye on Z900RS, was itchy to consider seriously about it. Lowboy and I went upstairs later, he was interested in ZRX1200 with nice Yoshimura exhaust, owned by a Japanese expatriate that just recently left Malaysia. We left without rings on our fingers (key rings). Next stop we went to an old and famous importer. We checked out Honda CB1100, Goldwing and F6B. Too expensive. Too...

Cost of survival

Man and machine relationship, it is more than meets the eye. Recently my doctor called..  "Mr. Sim, you have missed couple of appointments to do your check ups" Please make an appointment soonest possible". My car's service centre sent me a text to say my car is due for service. When I look at my bikes service records, I know all of them are due for oil change and general checks. Boy, my body and vehicles are on the same boat (pun).   When I started riding/ driving 36 years ago, none of these things matter. Basically, I didn't  own a car, dad was the "go to". My first bike was a 2 stokes Yamaha RX-S 115cc ( if memory serves) bought by my dad for me to commute to work. I took bus to work wasn't really motivating. The Yammy came with broken side stand which required wall leaning everytime I parked. Harlik the bassist of the resident band at the restaurant where I worked, did a fine rescue job by welding a piece of metal on to the existing half grinded...
