puuut puuuuttt
i think my bike suffers from ugly duckling syndrome. it's like when you know someone for a long time and she suddenly became pretty, the original ugly image will still be in your head.
likewise for my bike, when i first got it, it was quite an ugly bitch. acceptable, but ugly. now, after a new seat and some racing stripes, it does look quite pretty, i guess.
but when i look at it, i can't help but see it the way it first came. ugly green duckling with a rotten seat and stupid stickers.
anyway before i got my bike i thought i would make it super shiny and well taken care of, but now i prefer it the way it is. it's nice enough but still rough around the edges.
i don't want a prissy bike that i have to worry about all the time, like my heart will ache if it gets scratched or dirtied. now i can whack it and leave it in the rain and sun without worry.
everything works fine except for some days when it decides to be a bitch and refuses to start, leaving me in sweat after kicking it for a good 10 minutes.
a litre of petrol can last for 38km or so, which means i can probably ride to KL on a full tank (8l?) and still have some to spare.
yea this ugly duckling is good enough for me.

ok i've done some research (other than using a ruler on my com screen like i did at first).
http://www.convertunits.com/distance/from/Kuala+Lumpur,+Malaysia/to/Singapore
and most sources say it's 300-320km, the only one that says 840 is yahoo answers (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071008182039AAY3IK2).
so now we know.
