Hello guys, are you aware that 70 riders and pillons have died for the past 9 mths?
You might wanNa check out last few weeks' Newspaper, been busy lately to post, Sorry.
Anyway, bikes like SP, TZM, KRR are really fast and light, their presence encouage us to take up riding. Feeling the wind thru us everytime we speed, practicing corners and striking the foot-pegs, issint that Exciting!
However, I would like to spread the msg across, that we only live once and it's not worth dying so young....
There are many more important and exciting things for us to do in the near furture, why end so sooN?
Hope you guys ride safely and becareful, may GOD bless us all

70 is only those that died, not counting those injured, paralysed, coma blah blah blah. *sigh* motor cycling is a very nice past time and sport if not for all this thing. guys ride safely, nothing is more important than life ok

Here's the article:
2 badly hurt after bike hits brick sign
The youths were going home after a night out when the motorcycle skidded
TWO youths are in an intensive-care unit with serious head injuries after their motorcycle hit a brick entrance sign outside an army camp in Sembawang at dawn.
The 21-year-old motorcyclist and his 16-year-old pillion rider were on their way home after a night out when the accident happened at about 6.30 am on Sunday.
They were travelling along a straight stretch of Sembawang Road towards Yishun when their bike skidded and hit the sign, ripping off a large portion of the brick structure.
Both are warded in Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
This is the third serious road accident involving motorcyclists in the past fortnight.
On Nov 25, a 21-year-old polytechnic student died from serious head injuries, four days after the motorcycle he was riding pillion on and a car collided at the junction of Clementi and Bukit Timah roads.
On Nov 26, a 30-year-old technician died when his motorcycle crashed into the back of a trailer along the West Coast Highway.
Mr Milton Tan, president of the National Safety Council of Singapore, said that the spate of accidents highlighted the importance of the council's Safe Riding Rally, an event held on Sunday.
He said: 'My sympathies go out to the victims' families. We should all work harder to educate motorcyclists, which is an uphill task.'
He added that the majority of motorcyclists ride dangerously, despite the council's emphasis on safe riding.
Motorcyclists are the most vulnerable road users and must practise safe riding to protect themselves.
Seventy motorcyclists and pillion riders have died on the road during the first nine months of this year. Last year, this group made up almost half of the 214 people who died in road accidents.
Always be alert on the road guys..... -

well, accident can happen anytime but u can minimize it by taking extra precaution. be alert when riding ur bikes....dont drive to fast!!! dont rush!!! if u want to catch ur appointment......go out earlier to avoid rushing!......
we could all enjoy driving eventhough we are not driving that too fast ..... i think so!...
god bless us all.... -
