NoS

After months and months of searching and thousand of bucks been deducted from the cards and suddenly have many friends from the postal service and indirectly been added by 50 ++ people on FB account...,
A large portion of the parts has arrived. Mostly are 'NoS' and a little bit of reproductions. Let's say a ratio of 90-10.


Many many many many parts will be and has been changed.


Time for the major clean up and assembly time .....




** ignore the jug and the glass in the pic, it's actually for chivas., and not for assembling on the CB **

Even non moving will cost you

It's been months .., 9.5 months to be exact.
That's how long I didn't move the XJR-SP.

Last Friday was a bright night with stars twinkling so I decided to bring it for a run.
A 100miles high speed short run actually.

First off - battery busted., so need a jump to make it breath again.

Second - it dies off when I downshifting with clutch in.
... but in constant speed, it runs fine with a little bit of lag .., a 0.05sec lag to be exact.
Suspect culprit - the plugs.

The last I changed was a titanium series and they cost me some dough.

So, bought myself some iridiums this time to replace those titaniums.
A more better and more precise firing.

Now., the SP ran beautifully.

$$Spent - more or less $100 deduct labor.
Mileage - 100 miles
Workshop hours - 1.3 incl dismantling of tank
Fun factor - 95%

A FUN-DAY

.. a shorts by aFUNday film ....

Miss the set-junction, .. but head on ...

After the break, we pushed-on.

We were supposed to turn in a designated junction to do a short-cut to Keningau,

.. but the 'lead-bike' was so fast .., and overshot the turn-in junction for the short-route.

To turn back, it'll take a longer time, 

so, we push forward instead of backwards and use another beautiful scenic route ..

....

The Nasi-kandar stop ..

Everytime if we passed by this route, the boys wanted to stop by this 'gerai' to have some food or break.

The food here is absolutely lousy/bad !!.. and it's expensive too....,

2 dishes at $ XX amount.

3 dishes also at $XX amount ...

if you mixed twenty dishes on rice and put curry all over ....

.. it's gonna be at $XX amount also !!...

.. well, guessed it's located just by the road side..., so it's bleedy convenient.., i supposed


.. time checked - 0900hrs
.next stop - Keningau via Crockers ..

Immigrations checkpoint

From our meeting-point, we push straight up to the immigration cross-border post without any further delays.

We cut back on our regular ritual smoke-break and all other pee-break ...

it's either smoke and pee while you ride or don't at all ...

.. The Start ..

Meet up point @ 0430hrs ..,
13 machines ...
this is the beginning of a 'plan' road trip..
we called it the 'Short Way Down' ..

.. after some caffeine and nicotine.., we push-on even before the sunrise...,

.. This will be an adventure that's gonna stay with most us for a very long time ..,
