Bike Mags

Since we've decided to purchase a superbike, am glad rocker57 is taking an interest in reading. Never a reader, he is enthusiastically reading now. Reading what??? Reading bike magazines, of course.

It was so adorable to see him intensely reading a mag while waiting for my daughter and I to shop at 1 Utama recently. A sight to behold...rocker57 reading? Seriously... the image of him reading is permanently etched in my brain. Priceless! Sorry, no pix to show, at that moment in time, did not think I would start a blog until early this month, i.e after our trip to Bukit Tinggi and Janda Baik. More on the trip in coming postings...keep a look out for it, yeah?

It was from these mags that we found the shops that sell superbikes. Just to name drop a few good shops to visit :

1) Chear Motor (apparently the largest and most branches in Malaysia). You can't miss the shop painted in dark green. The HQ is in Klang (near Centro)
2) Welly World Cycle. This is located in Sg Buloh but there is a branch in Batu Caves. The latter owned by the brother, using same name but different management. The owner of the former is a keen biker and frequently take his bikes overseas for touring. When we visited his outlet, he just left for his China tour.
3) Sunvay Cycle. As the name suggests, it is in Sunway PJS7. And yes, confirmed no spelling mistake on name of bike shop. (i.e. if you are checking my spelling, just in case...hehehe..caught you there, huh?)
4) NAZA situated along federal highway. This outlet sells high end & premium bikes like DUCATI, HONDA, YAMAHA, BMW (think so), etc
5) HARLEY DAVIDSON is located along Federal Highway too. Same row with NAZA. They obviously sell HD bikes, apparels, etc.

All first 3 outlets do bike servicing and accepts trade-ins, not sure about the latter. Each time we visited NAZA or HD over several weekends, there was no one to serve us, so I don't have much info. Chear Motor (Klang outlet) has a wide range of apparels and accessories. Incidentally, Sunvay Cycle claimed to be the FIRST in Malaysia with electronic tuning and have been accredited as tuning specialist, how's that.

Potentially, we may join some clubs to network and get to know more bikers. For now, we need to get to know "kawa-babe" first. Clubs information are also published in the mags.Check them out. Psst...to check out the clubs, you gotta buy the mags, obviously!!! Duh! Alternatively, google for it :)

It's from these magazines and the people at the various shops we visited that I learn the difference between streetbike, easy rider, cruiser and what nots. An eager apprentice...I'm still soaking in...bring in on, baby!!!
