Last Sunday, Ruby and I drove to this little town called Rawang (some 18 miles off KL) to catch up with a biker chap, Amran. We met at his workplace - TNB yard, which was quiet and spacious.
Amran has a mint-condition Virago XV535 and wants to upgrade to a DragStar 1100. Reason for the intended upgrade is the same with most bikers - the need for more power!I'm going to digress to state an interesting observation. Ever since my search for a big motorcycle began, I've spoken and mingled with uncountable superbikers.
The point that I wish to make is, despite being total strangers, it doesn't feel that way. The passion for these heavy machines supersedes all human differences - race, creed, colour, etc. Now that's the true spirit of brotherhood!

The search has also connected me with people of diverse professions, from high-ranking police officials to forensic photographers, media editors, newscasters, consultants from various industries and also retirees. Amazing!
As Amran and I were engrossed in conversation, I was totally oblivious to the fact that Ruby was busy clickin' away. As a photographer, I've always been behind the scenes. Nowadays, it's seem to be the opposite :)
The seating position is perfect for city & country cruising
Getting aquainted with her calm yet aggresive demeanour
Inspecting the drive-shaft
Listening to the twin custom-pipes. Music to the ears :)
Admiring her chromed V-twin body. Mouth-watering!
Upon returning from Rawang, I showed these photos to daddy dearest and he took an immediate liking for the bike! Mom was equally supportive of the idea. Despite their support and my craving to acquire this machine, I'm still a little indecisive as to whether I should proceed with the purchase. Might change my mind in the next couple of days...
