| Yikes... talk about
chucking your bacon into the fire! Here... pig, pig, pig,
pig... Think of this incident the next time you are riding through Malaysia along the country roads... you never know what is going to rush out at you! Remain alert, be aware of the road condition (sand, oil, darkness, etc), observe posted speed limits, rest if you're tired (danger of inattention), wear protective gear (in case you fall), and take is easy on the accelerator (I know the pull of your engine is nice to experience, but...) Also, make sure you wear your helmet properly! Remember - it ain't a race... it's best for you and your bike to just to get there in one piece, alive and unscathed. |
