McQueen Holiday

Happy Holidays Folks.. A Merry McQueen New Year 2010.

..and I would like to share this with you, rumours been spreading like H1N1-disease, but they seem to be gathering steam the last couple weeks. There is serious talk of Pitt playing cool-Mcqueen in a biopic scheduled for 2010....

I can't wait for this ...

Triumph 37

That's Bruce flying-high on the cover of Vanity fair while Robbie 'idle' for a shot for his album cover.

Look closely ..., they are using the same Triumph eh?

H-D/Hummer

The term "Harley Hummer", loosely refers to all antique, Harley Davidson, American made, 2 cycle , vintage, lightweight motorcycles produced between 1948 and 1966 at the Milwaukee, Wisconsin factory. However, technically speaking , the true "Harley Hummer" was only produced from 1955 until 1959, and it was a very basic, stripped down, no frills, 125cc motorcycle. Read more Here :

This one was taken at Singapore Changi Airport [thanks J.Li-the-future-Harley owner for the pics], displayed at a cosmetic counter. I wonder why. Non affiliated and non similarity at all.
Thnk I am gonna purchase a tube of facial-cleanser and will probably get the bike for free..
hell-yeah!!

Look What I've Got ...

I've got a new book..

Someone went abroad recently and bought this one for me.

That's a very nice thought of you..

Thanks M.

I have gotta catch up on my reading of all the other books that just arrived too ....

...too many books, too little time ...

Sons of Anarchy Season 1

Yeah, I know..
Season 1 is long gone and currently in The US, they are on Season 2 - Episode 9.
Not bad for a TV series, semi violence, lots of swearing ..
Mr HellBoy is in the series too ...

If outlaw biker-gang is your kinda thing .., put on your leathers, sit on your fav sofa, grab a beer and follow their 'journey' of firearm-dealings and territory snatching ...

The Stig on his Bud's Iron

(pic taken from biker AL's blog)

The Stig is at it again,
This time he is testing his bud's Iron.

Someone got an 'itchin' body

That someone who just let-go his Yam-1600 cruiser is lookin' into this sexy-DUKE, Very 'Motard' and very affordable .... it 'might' just happen !! ...

Wet Undies Again ...

I swore to myself never again .., NEVER AGAIN to have some wet-cotton wrapped around that lower section of the human body. But somehow, it just have to happen, or I should say.., just waiting to happen.
It always felt like a million ants running around the 'front' portion,
while the 'back' portion.., a million ants are doing their ritual-biting feast.

Went out for a solo on the scoot (friend pass-over to do some minor repair and parts changing).
After changing some spark-ling new plug, new oil in the engine + new filter ...

Sky turning dark at the other end, a-look up at the sky to confirm,... probably another hour or so till the 'darkness' arrive. Grab the quarter-shell, a bandana and a riding-glasses and off I 'zoom'.

@#$%^*&* .. The rain came faster than the credit-card bills ..., have to stop at the halfway grocery-store for a chat, to wait for the heavy rain and its thunder companion to subside.

That Chat with the indian-chap who is running the store lasted for a good old 3 hours !!..
I even know what are his ancestors name and how many cows he had back in India !! ..

Can't wait any longer as from the way the rain poured, it'll probably never stop.

Get myself a green-disposable rain-suit (if you can actually called it a suit as it's made of those black-rubbish-plastic material), It's so Green that I actually looked like the incredible Hulk.

Fight the heavy downpour, reached home .., last counted, there are some extra and additional pore-holes on my face,...
..... from the bullet-speed rain drop.

Bud's New Bike, Nite light, One heckuva slow ride ..

As usual, I couldn't make it to the set venue/place for the particular night ride.

It's a Sat-nite, mostly on a Sat-nite, I'll do the solo.

But tonight I'll have to skip the solo-thing. The reason is because someone's got a new 'baby'.
It's a 'boy', I guessed...

Bring on the Cigar!!!!

Ed couldn't take the temptation anymore,

'shot' himself,

self-injection,

went and get himself a brand-new-spanking Yam- XJ6 ( totally given up his double-throttle-flapping-system idea on the old 1100) ( check previous posting)

Nearly midnight, met up with him, went for a break-in ride ...

.. Slow....
