Just got my bike last nite! Around 9pm went to meet the broker and the owner at Temasek club. Broker treat us to dinner and beer, of course I didn't drink, just ordered tea. Then talk c*** talk c*** for a while. Then after that inspect the bike visually. Hmm .... everything looks good, just like the first time I saw it. Checked the mileage, bloody hell, the owner has done quite some riding before handing it to me uh. 600km in two weeks. Never mind, give him one last chance lah. hahaha. Then took the bike for a spin on the highway. Whoa....it felt goood! Went back to the club, talk c*** talk c*** some more. Then the owner briefed me on the characteristic of the bike, how to operate switches, open up compartments, etc. Then, he briefed me on the handling of the bike, when to service, what to check regularly. Whoa..this guy damn patient. Going to let go bike already, but want to make sure new owner takes good care of his bike like tat. Then gave me a couple of phone numbers that I can call in case of emergency. Then told me the first thing I need to change are the tyres. And he showed me why I need to change and how to keep a lookout for signs of needing to change in future. After that, it was an emotional handing over of keys. He was .... sigh...sad.... Then the broker suggest I send the owner to MRT station so he can take the train home. But I let him ride one last time all the way back to his home at Jurong while I ride pillon instead. Stopped by at some petrol station to fill up for the first time. He showed me how to open the fuel tank, check tire pressure and told me how much air to pump in. Then after that, I took over the bike while he walk back to his place just behind the petrol station. Just then an aunty in Esso uniform at petrol station ask me, "You buy his bike uh?" I said "yeah loh". Then she turn to the owner "Whoa..ni she de mai uh?". The owner just smiled and waved at her. I tell u, that moment was so....emotional. Then after both of them walked away, I patted the bike, and whisper to it, "I will take good care of you. So, you must take good care of me also uh. We will have many many fulfilling rides together, ok?" And with that, I started the engine, engage 1st gear and move on. Went on the highway, all the way from West Singapore to Changi Airport in the East. Stopped at the airport to check out the bike up close again, then zip back home. Whoa......... This morning rode to work, I've never been so early to office for a looong time already. hahahaha. Next time can sleep later a bit liao. hahahahahaha
