Alfa and Other Thoughts

One of the most frequent conversation between Alfisti always start like this......"Did your Alfa breakdown today?"

 

 

 

Yes, within one month after I collected my car brand new straight from the showroom, it did weird things somehow from time to time.

 

1, Open the door lock using the remote key but the boot pop up too......maybe it wanna breath some fresh air from the back!!

2, It decided not to engage 1st gear from Reverse until I tried 3 times......maybe it wanna rest for a while before get going again!!

3, It thought its better to stay in 2nd gear until 6500rpm instead of 2500rpm which is supposed to do so normally in D mode......maybe it wanted some fun or in needed for speed!!

4, Plug-in my ipod but it became CD changer mode.......maybe it thought it is a better mode to play music!!

5, It drinks 13L juice per 100KM, much more than the manual says......maybe it was just a little bit thirsty sometime!!

 

Hey, it thinks for itself and decide what to do without your command, what a great AI it has huh.......

 

But think of it this way......Who would you want as a lover?

(1) An inflatable doll which is very low maintenance, cost very little to upkeep, has no mood-swings, does not throw tantrums, does not suffer from no "break-down", won't have headaches, will do it anyway you want it, won't have that time of the month..... etc.

 

      

OR

(2) Would you rather a supermodel who pouts, whine, moan, groan, throw tantrums, is high maintenance, makes you jealous each time other men look at her, will complain about headaches, has mood-swings, run off with her girlfriends at times to paint the town red, is spontaneous, won't do it anyway you want but ask you to do it the way she wants,..... etc.

 

 

I take the supermodel anytime dude!!!

 

By the way, the main difference between Alfa and Lexus：

"Lexus is a high class Toyota while
Alfa is a cheap Ferrari "

Wet Ride, Stay Dry

Imagine this scene......

 

Rode out 6am in the morning with beautiful sunrise on the horizon, nice seabreeze from the coast, heading north to Melaka for 6 hours ride, 30 mins later......

 

Next second, the rain poured like hell, and from head to toes, even my undies all gone wet......

 

Kept on riding, 30 mins later......

 

All dried out by the blowing wind and the sun started burning on my face, my arms, my neck, another 30 mins later.......

 

Stopped for gas refill, found that I sweat my undies all wet again, bugs on goggles, and my face covered by dust......

 

Pushed off after refreshment and clean-up, 30 mins later......

 

It Fxxking started raining again......then dried out after 30 mins ride once again......then sweat like after shower under the sun AGAIN......

 

 

 

Road goes on and on, and we wish the journey never ends. Highways, Mountains, Dust, Wind, Rain, Sun, Gas Stops, these are the ingredients of Harley Davidson.

 

We are experiencing what we are supposed to experience as a Harley rider, this kind of life either a hit or miss, but sure it hits my heart and hits me hard.

 

Can't wait for another ride, road trip like these are a must for my monthly runaway plan now. Swinging my leg over the seat, rumbling the engine to 160KM, then head for a never ending highway. But you won't see my smiling face under the mask though!!!

 

 

 

Power of Black

Here is my blackout collection, fall in love of the color of black and dark custom series. However, instead of posting my own pictures, I rather use the pix I searched on the web. I tried to take my own but they came out either not showing the true color due lighting or out of contrast. Items shown here are identical to what I have, simply using those model numbers or product IDs will do a great job during my search.

 

Following are those big toys, Dark Custom series Harley Davidson Nightster (XL1200N) and  Alfa Romeo 159 GTA Nero (Nero means black in Italian).

 

  

 

Comes with them are my open-face vintage Helmets (Shoei Heart and Bitwell) and Gloves (Willie G), and I even brought in a set of Nero 19" Ti（Turismo Internationale) rims with Pirelli Pzero Nero 245/35/19 tires from Italy for my GTA

 

    

 

Get into my wardrobe, most of my dark clothes are not searchable from the web, except the following branded items.

 

   

 

Personal items are all black too, from credit cards (Citi Bank) to Wallet (Willie G Chain), from Laptop (Toshiba M808) to Playstation (PS3 Slim 160G)

 

     

 

And also from Camera (IXUS120is) to Mobile (Nokia E71) and from Ipod (Nano 5th G) to Lighter (Zippo Willie G)

 

    

 

Even my watch (Citizen Pilot EcoDrive), Sunglasses (RayBan Aviator), Bracelet (Corlante) and Perfume (Armani Black Code) are all black, no exception

 

   

 

BLACK is the word, DARK is the world. Inventory is still stacking up, more to come!!
