I was informed by Ariel of the AGM but I was a bit reluctant to go since I’m not an EP owner. But then, come to think of it… what the heck… cruising all the way to Pasir Salak would give me the time needed to relax… or so I thought.

Since last Friday was the celebration of Maulidur Rasul, it was a holiday for us all… except us at Traffic so I went to the office to get things done. Afterwards I met up with Jeo and some friends to …

Since we were dead tired, we woke up a bit late to get a taste of the S1000RR… it was a rush all the way back home running on fumes while Jeo and Geck took the DUKE and beat me to my house five minutes earlier. After I had a change of pants, we made our way to Sepang International Circuit and we managed to arrive at SIC about 45 minutes later…  There were quite a number of media people there along with bikers for Open Track Day hence the testing …

Rain threatened to spoil the night as more than 70 drag racers made their way to the first Sepang Drag Battle for this year. Fortunately it drizzled just enough to cool the ambient temperature down at the Sepang International Circuit boosting the power output for the drag cars that night.

But it was not cool enough for the defending champion, 2009 class A winner, Ahmad Firdaus Azman as he struggles with an overheating Mitsubishi Evo 9 as the car’s cooling fan failed to work that night.

To make matters worst, the winning car …

Malaysia has been known asa a country of diversity and full of culture hence the abundant supply of celebrations in which will be supported by a number of events, side events and so forth.

The public holiday only applies to those of Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur and Labuan citizens.

So what do we know about the Federal Territory Day? Not much …

We all know making assumptions is a big no-no but we just tend to assume every time we hear the word ‘Lancer’ that person is referring to the tarmac-thrashing and mud-mauling version of the Lancer family, the Lancer Evolution, unless of course you own the sedate version.

Regardless, the Lancer family isn’t just constricted to the Evo but includes Lancer Saloon, Lancers Mivec, Lancer GLX, Lancer MX, Lancer Cedia, and the current Lancer GT. Immediate family is nice but an extended family is where the fun be at and with that …

It’s been quite awhile since we had any touge session and I was quite reluctant to join when I was informed of the route the day before by another fellow touge enthusiast. Reason being I had a really late night out with my high school friends which some of ‘em I haven’t met for the last 15 years. I managed to catch some sleep at 5am only to be waken by my dad at 6am to move my ride as he needs to get his early fix of golf and …

This was the last expedition organized by Israq Adventure to close the curtains of 2009 with a bang. It was originally planed as the Cambodia Ride but due to a number of unforeseen circumstances, the organizer decided to change it to North Thailand Ride. Turned out the change of destination was a good decision. The riders get to ride on their own pace and have the freedom to stop whenever they feel like it.

To the riders this particular ride was deemed the “Santai Ride” as it was relaxing rather than rushing …

As people were bounded by the atmosphere of Christmas and New Year, the tragedy of 10 were killed in the incident of double-decker express bus surged into our heart badly. My mood turns down as I noticed the headline of newspapers.
The behavior of driver is crucial in determining our next journey. High risk driver would probably make the passenger or even other road-users in the risk of lethal. However, I believe there must be something we can do to avoid this. It’s important for us to increase the awareness …

It was written in the thread marks on the asphalt and what better place for it to be fulfilled than in front of his home crowd as Tengku Djan Ley bagged top honours at the inaugural Goodyear Formula Drift Malaysia series.

Sak Nana Kiki from our northern neighbours was the bridesmaid and Kiwi Mad Mike gave Goodyear something to smile about by completing the podium.

Building on the arousing qualifying round the previous day that saw the country’s top drifter lead the pack, Djan of Team Bridgestone drifted like a man on …
