Maybe la... ... but not now anyway!

Honda VTR? Hope you enjoy your new bike!
You would have to get a license first. I can come visit you in my bike if you decide to get a license and go bike shopping once you get it

Hello People !

Sorry been out of touch, just came back from LA this tuesday. Man, what a vacation. Rented a Dodge Charge High Output, what a car. Too bad it isnt the Hemi version, otherwise it would hv been even nicer. Drove to Vegas from LA and back. Nice drive :-) So our next meet is Sat Jun 24th? Count me in and I vote for Cyberport (#1). I'll meet u guys at Cyberport, it's closer to home, just tell me the time when u plan on leaving Convention Centre.

I had a "M" demo day today, what an experience. Tried both the M3 and M6. Too bad I was too excited and forgot to bring a real camera, only had cel phone shots which I will post later. To my surprise, the M3 feels sportier and faster than the M6 despite the much more powerful engine. And Im not too keen on the SMG gearbox either after trying it 1st person. It doesnt shift as fast and as smoothly as I thought it would (for both the M3 and M6). And too many choice of electronic settings which makes it quite confusing at first.

See u guys on the 24th :-)

Bunbun.

Oh...no no no...it wasn't from BMW HK. Those are my uncle's cars, just went to his house and had some fun, that's all...hehe. He's thinking of selling the M3, I wonder how much....it's a 02 with SMG II and no extras (even the wheels are std M3 18"s). But it's a really fast and scary car.
