After so many months, i finally get to ride my ZZR250.
the joy of riding the bike for that 1st time after fixing a large number of stuff really feels like getting a Puppy for Xmas day.
so happy that when i took to Port Dickson, the sound was so sexy, (above 8000RPM).
it work fine all the way. I don't even know i was traveling above 100km/h on it.
The next day, when we were traveling back to KL, at some point, i was at 120-140km/h.. WOW!!
but it did not last long...... after i pass KLIA, there was a odd sound at the engine. then all hell broke lose =( i barely made it to TTDI and i had to leave the bike at BHP station as it does not one to move. had to call for help, (thanks Queenie, joey & Carmen).
That Night, i tot i could bring her back to Klang, but it stop halfway. I have to ask Baby, to come and pick-me up (thank you BABY!!!) she drove at 140km/h just to save me.
Now when i got it back to SIFU SHAM.... he believes that the Crankshalf is broken... and that can be a RM2000 - 4000 damage. OMG!!!!!
well, looking for options to what i can do.
here is what my bike use to wound like, note that this not my bike, but the same model and sounds the same.

Get Into Greens
I've decided to get into greens. Frequent readers of this blog may have noticed a slight bias towards desserts. But I do eat well-rounded fully balanced meals. Even though there's a pan of shortbread cooling in the kitchen right now. Mmm...
I was wandering around the supermarket last weekend, trying to stick to my shopping list. (My shopping list has sensible things on it like pears, salmon, eggs, cereal. And somehow I come home with logs of goat cheese, bottles of tahini, tins of crab meat, and dijon mustard. Canned tomatoes are a good pantry staple, but I also bought canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce just in case. And I ended up with an entire bag of frozen mixed berries in the freezer, as if I were preparing for a fruit pie binge in the middle of the tundra.) Typically I pick up some spinach every couple of weeks, but I had just spent the last two weeks going through a giant bag of it so I was sick of spinach. I was ready to skip right past the greens to the zucchini when I noticed something. There are many leafy green vegetables other than spinach.
I've been something of a spinach junkie for a while now. There is no shortage of spinach recipes. Easiest side dish in the world? Sauteed spinach in olive oil. Best vegetable soup? Cream of spinach. Spinach and strawberry salad. Spinach pesto. Spinach pizza. But I'm feeling like such a hypocrite because I espouse the virtues of variety in food everywhere else, yet with my vegetables there is safety in cucumbers.
I do like many vegetables but I tend to buy the same ones: spinach, broccoli, carrots, zucchini, or brussel sprouts. Occasionally a red or green pepper, and lettuce and cucumbers for salad. If I'm trying to feed a vegetarian I might purchase a parsnip or rutabega, but never shall an eggplant enter my abode. But looking around at the abundance of greens, I decided I would do it. I would buy kale. I mean, it looks gorgeous. Almost too good to eat.
I quickly discovered that kale is as easy to saute as spinach but takes a little longer to wilt thick leaves that look more like a garnish than a side dish. Add a little water to the pan and cover it to braise them, or dunk them in boiling water long enough to boil (not blanch) them. Squeeze a little lemon on top. Any way you do it, you end up with a green that has more body and substance than spinach. In other words, it doesn't end up shrinking to nearly nothing the way spinach does, and a big bunch of it goes a lot further.
I can never give up my first love, spinach, but kale is a worthy adversary. Next up: collard greens. But don't worry, dessert girl will be back before long...
