Bike brokedown...


Assalammualaikum and Good day to everyone.

I was on work assignment in Kota Tinggi from 13th - 16th April. Conducted Basic Business Accounting course for local entreprenuers there.

Took the KL NS Hiway to Kulai then to Kota Tinggi. A slight? miscalculation and ran out of fuel 35kms after Pagoh RnR. Called PLus emergency line for help. FYI the the reserve is good for about 30-35 kms not 70 kms as I thought before.

Return trip via Kluang - Ayer Keroh - Sg Udang, Melaka to PD - Sepang and onward to KL. Met Pegasotista (peg III) Fakruddin at the Sg Udang Army camp. He is a Medical Assistant at the camp hospital and runs a business selling army apparel. He bought a 1997 Pegaso III a few weeks ago.

The bike suddenly went dead at Bandar Baru Nilai... engine choked twice and then all electrical went off. Called Ghazali (he stays nearby and luckily was not working that day) who came over to help and to keep me company. Called Angah at Motomillia. Luckily their staff (Ijam and Bob) and the Aprilia lorry was at SIC at that time. Turned out the ignition switch cables got disconnected.

Got a ride home with Pegasotista Haleem who was on his way home from work in Putrajaya. The bike was taken to Motomillia for repairs. At the time of writing the bike is ready for collection.

Thanks Ghazali, Ijam and Bob.....
