New Baby - ZACBOY!!

Maiden ride on ZacBoy
ZacBoy was 'born' on 23 June 2011. On the road price is RM85,100!! (Psst, come closer - don't let Rocker57 know about this: at that price I could have bought 2 units of Proton Sagas 1.3 or even Hyundai Alto!! And that seats 10 people, this mean machine only seats 2. MEN!! )
ZacBoy's 'mechanical dad' is KAWASAKI model Z1000SX. Noticed that we have gotten from Kawa-babe (650cc) to ZacBoy (1000cc)? Rocker57's toys are getting meaner, bigger and faster!! But seriously - I relish the adrenaline is gives me even-though riding pillion. It's simply awesome & exhilarating!! Between you and me - many a times, I wish Rocker57 would ram it above 170-200kph!! Afterall, a mean machine should be mean, right? NO??!!. Go VROOOOOM POWER!!! Guess, I'm just too wild!! Moniker - 'chili padi' or birdeye chili - that's ME.
Now U know Y I X ride this? Feet X touching ground!
Now with ZacBoy, I get better view as I'm seated higher as opposed to just seeing Rocker57's helmet when I rode Kawa-babe...heeheehe. Now I can see all those hunks better ;P YAY!! One setback is that the back section is higher now so I get wet easily as seats are smaller & raised higher than ER-6f. Bah...I was soaking wet on the way to S'ban to visit mom-in-law  :(
The maiden ride on 26 June was excruciating!! The butt, of course!! Wet & uncomfortable plus such a loooong ride for what used to take us about 30mins, now it takes twice the time. Still breaking into the bike before we can put it to normal use, we could only travel between 70-90kph until we hit 1000km. It's sad to see the bike strolling the road with kapchai's (110cc bikes) speeding ahead of you - sigh!! Rocker57's now "actively" riding to break the 1K limit, then....hmmm....eh, where's ZacBoy?!?!? (Wakaaka kakakaka..*choke*) When I say actively, I really mean actively!! Zooom! Gone to break the barrier! His mind's constantly thinking where to go to quickly max out the 'hindrance" :)
New clothes for 'baby shower' 
My new attire befits the machine ya? Check out my new AlpineStar jacket & gloves with PUMA bike shoes (all purchased in S'pore during our recent visit for sole purpose to 'dress' me appropriately). Went around Malaysia's key apparel shops - couldn't find any my size (jacket/shoes/glove)!! What u can't see is the protective knee pads I was wearing. It is better to be 'over-dressed' in this case as all the items donned are solely for the purpose for protection and not to make a fashion statement! FYI, my previous black AlpineStar jacket was for male (also from Spore because they didn't have stock for ladies items back then). This Stella range is solely for women! Why I say that? That's because they even have padding for the two aaaheeems!! BOOBs!! Now men...U wouldn't dare wear it, now would u??? I guess not!
Mind you, with our humid and hot weather, I rather choose to ride as light as possible BUT we must always be prepared for the inevitable and things beyond our control - accidents!! So, I 'gracefully' don the entire biking 'wardrobe' for each ride. Better to be safe than sorry!
To all superbikers out there - YO, RIDE FAST, BUT RIDE SAFE!!!
