Hello everyone. I'm Jin from Malaysia (that little plot of land in between Singapore & Thailand).
I'm 28years old and live in the capital Kuala Lumpur.
My ride is a 2005 CBR1000rr. All stock except a pair of LASER slip-ons.

Started riding 12 yrs ago on a 1979 C70 moped, 1981 GS550, 1997 NSR150rr, 1998 Honda XRV750, 1996 Suzuki GSXR750 and then finally 2005 HONDA CBR1000RR!!
1 accident so far on the GSXR750 5 years ago. Lowsided in a turn. No major damage/injury beside a ruptured seam on my Alpinestar leathers.

Malaysia is a great place for riding. Cheap fuel. Cheap labour. Fantastic/smooth tarmac. All year round riding. Great selection of highlands and mountain passes. Speed cameras do exisit but the local cops make an exception for bikers. You'd get a fine for driving a car above 110kmh. You can pull a 150kmh wheelie while passing a cop and he'll give u a thumbs up. Unbelievable but true.

I also live 30 mins away from the Polini Sepang International Circuit. Was there 2 weeks ago to watch the MotoGP.

Only ride my bike on weekend mornings through the 3 mountain passes nearby my home. Occasionally attend trackdays too. (A 3 hour track session at the Polini Sepang Track is only USD30. Again unbelievable but true.)

My bike has done 32000kms. Performance has been great till this day except for the occasional puff of blue smoke coming from the exhaust. Looking forward to do some searches on this topic later.

Till then

 

Hello & welcome aboard!
Thanx for the intro,helps us get to know our members better
Dang $30 to do a track day @ Sepang! Holy crap!!!
PLenty of helpful guys in here,so check out the 1000RR forum for more info on the exhaust smoke condition.
Good luck & ride safe!

 

Cheap gas, cheap track days, bike loving cops, and lots of smooth roads... you got any floor space for me to sleep Jin??!!

Welcome to CBRF!! Thanks for the great intro. We'd love to see your bike too so post up some pics when you get the chance.

Take care and enjoy the forums.

 

Here are a few photos of me and my ride. A 2005 CBR1000rr with different outfits - the original gray fairings, and the Made&Painted-In-China Race Fairings

 

Final 3 photos..
The last photo shows me in typical-poser-color-coordinated-leathers relevant to the race fairings

 

Your bike is gorgeous Jin! I'm really loving those race fairings. Can't believe how lush it looks there where you ride. You are one lucky fellow.

 

Selamat Pagi......... Jin.
