2015 Kawasaki Vulcan S

About 2 years after getting the Demak me and a friend was thinking about getting proper riding pants so on Thaipusam (9 February 2017) we paid a visit to Guan How Superbike which was location in Juru Autocity (not the one at Ipoh). They have a few options and after trying out a few riding pants which did not fit well, we tried the riding jackets since they were on sale and there are a few which we both liked but since the H-D jackets are still in good condition so I had to give it a pass.

Prior to this visit, I saw a 2nd hand Vulcan S in a shop at Ayer Itam but the mileage was too high and the asking price was not that tempting and they would not allow me to test ride the Vulcan. While looking at the all the bikes, the first bike that caught our eye was the new Kawasaki H2R because it was all decked out in chrome. After looking around we spotted a Vulcan S among the sea of 2nd hand bikes for sale. The boss spotted us looking the bike and came to talk to us more about the Vulcan.

First motorcycle: Demak D7 Classic

This post is a throw back to the first day I bought my very first motorcycle:

On 12 May 2015 I got my first motorcycle; ~14 years after getting my license. This was how the first experience on a manual bike went.

In Malaysia there are a few classes of motorcycle license. The most common is B2: limited to 250cc, B1: limited to below 500cc and B or also known as B Full: above 500cc. There was an option when I first took my B2 license to add an additional MYR 100 to go for the B Full license. Saves time and money in the future but a shame that I was not allowed to do it at that time (was only 17 at the time and wasn't paying for the license).

I was introduced to the bike scene when I was very young. I got my bike license in 2001 (if memory serves me correctly) and I just started college at that time and needed a transport. Since I did not have a car license yet, my mum reluctantly agreed to let me ride to class.
