Becareful what you wish for !

Bobo · 31st July 2003

Yesterday on my way to school along TPE (after Seng Kang/ Punggol) I saw a magnificent sight of Sun hiding behind the clouds. It was like a Stair Way to Heaven! I thought, "Hey why not stop by the road side and take a few shots" (got my 5700 in my bag). Then think again, "Nah... might be late for school" and carry on riding.

Suddenly my bike start to stall

!! Quickly I swerved slowly to the left and stop at the break down lane. A quick check revealed that I had ran out of FUEL!!

No choice but tocall my Bro-in-law staying at Tampines to send some Petrol over.

As I was waiting, I ran over the "hill" top, took out my cam and took a few shot. My Wish finally came true!

So next time becareful what you wish for !

Can be done! i once read a bike magazine; they were reviewing this BMW model with cruise control. That guy turned on the cruise control while on the move and shifted himself to the pillion seat. The picture showed a pillion doing thumbs up and no rider.

i think if pan and then crop out the rear, it would look like a riderless bike.

when you're riding your bike you shouldn't be looking around the scenery, especially the SUN! Otherwise it may really become The stairway to Heaven!
