Life doesn’t have "undo move" or "do -over" button. When we get old, things get taken away from us. That's part of life. But you only learn about it when you start losing staff. You'll find out that life is about the will to fight for what you believe in or love, just like how Al Pacino had eloquently put it in the movie Any Given Sunday, life is a game of inches. The inches we need are every where around us, the cubic centimeters of chance that differentiate between truly living your life or just passing time. If we are going to have any life anymore it's because we are willing to fight for that inch.

The title sounded like Danzel Washington's Man on Fire (2004), one of many favourite movies of mine.  But this weekend ride was not about a body guard  who went out to hunt everyone involved in the kidnapping of his client's little girl. It's about Man"Tador" making a comeback after the Mantin-Ladu Interstate Ride. "The Man on Fire" is the most apt description there is to describe Bro Man's appearance that had everyone at Sungai Balak toll awed in amazement.

I almost forgot about the sunny Sunday ride on May 2nd. Anyway, better late than never.

Farizal proposed to do Putrajaya route on Sunday but due to poor response we had to settle for Sungai Long instead and that's why we love this route. Its a mystical bond, unexplainable, something that one cannot fathom except for the Addicts. This is our home field, our sacred arena. But then again, this is unequivocally the easiest route.

Salam Gang,

*UPDATED*

Below is the propose route for our coming Sunday Ride as requested by Suhaimi aka Mitador.

Propose refuel stall: Presint Diplomatik/Kg Abu Bakar Baginda

Let's discuss this route at our chatter box.

P/S: Too bad the camera timer was preset, otherwise I would have set it to 30 sec and see how many of us can hold our tummies breaths.  posers!

It's already 1st of May 2010. For all labours out there, happy labour's day!

Hard to tell how far the wheels would roll. So far we've added additional flavour on the weekend ride menu. A dash of variety wouldn't hurt would it? To much of Sungai Long route is not good for the fun factor either  but it all depends on individual  "domestic" schedules.
