Up and about at the break of dawn, yawn, yawn...to get ready for our maiden journey on our "Kawa-babe". Why so early you asked...one word - cooling!
And off we went at 7am!! Yes..7AM!! Great start but as with all new cars/bikes, we were advised not to speed until the bike is broken in at approximately 1,500 km (i.e to be on the safe side). Hence, rocker57 had to intermittently change speed. Know what? I could have died of whipped lash from the many jerks from the changing of gears!! Consolation...soon, it will be a smooth ride when we hit the highways.
Oh, I so enjoy the cool morning breeze, refreshing change indeed. The ride wasn't smooth but who cares...I was riding..free, easy & relax. Shortly, rocker57 motioned that he needed to stop at the next R&R (rest and relax) area in Dengkil, approximately 15mins after we started the journey. When we did stop, he told me his right hand was NUMBed!!! Can you believe it??? Yeah, numbed!! I had a good laugh, poor rocker57...perhaps too old to ride, huh? He did gripping exercises for a couple of minutes and off we went again with frequent gripping exercise between both hands until our destination.
Ah...Seremban, our hometown. We decided to eat "yau yee mai fun" (thinly sliced squid, vegy, light starchy gravy with stewed sirloin pork poured over wok-fried vermicelli)in Jalan Tok Ungku, previously named Loop Road. The quaint hawker stall is situated just next to a petrol station, i.e. if you are interested to savour the delicious signature dish that has been passed on from generation to generation. Yummy.
Now,now...new bike must be parked within sight, right? So we parked as closed as possible to where we were seated. When a car left, rocker57 decided to move the bike nearer to us.Lo and behold!! Where's the key???
OMG...it was on the asphalt! Under a car that was parked next to the car that had just reversed out!! Hmmm...great expedition indeed!
Rocker57 asked me to place order while he re-park "Kawa-babe". When he came back, I was still seated and have not moved an inch. He was not too happy about it. Psst...I asked him to come closer and whispered " both my legs are NUMBED!!!"
Lesson learnt : Don't laugh at others, you could be next!!
