My First Street Bike
Friday 3rd May 2024I started biking through my dad when I was only 15. It was a 1973 Honda C50. Eventually, on one fine day I dropped it on the road kerb as I was braking late (attempted speeding without my parents knowing) . It was a heartache for Dad, as it had served him for the longest time.
Dad later bought an Honda Boon Siew EX-5 Dream sometime in between 2000-2003. Which I used it later during Diploma internship. It was freezing every 630am morning ride for about 30km but I somehow developed and enjoyed riding every now and then. The joy of freedom and wind breeze are just nice.
Further my studies again for the Bachelor Degree in Johor later in 2008-2010. My Dad decided to sell off the Honda EX5 off so that he could provide me a reasonable amount of cash and purchased one used 1997 Modenas Kriss 110. It had allow me to attend classes, submitting assignment and even going for exams. I wouldn’t had this simple luxury to ride if not for my supportive parents.
Fast forward 2024, I finally pick up some courage to get back on riding. A middleweight street sportbike, a CB650R with its beautiful inline-4 engine pipelines that are just loud noises of happiness.
