Swing KPE (13/9/2008)
1 of the many Lamborghinis
Vintage delights
Convoy KPE Swing
The Group making HISTORY on the longest underground Expressway in South East Asia- KPEIt was legs-dragging to be up so early for the event as the previous night of partying at our HOG Annual Dinner & Dance.
I did not meet the convoy but rode there alone and was too early so no hassle to move in, except to excite the early crowds of joggers being brought in by the bus-loads. They are supposed to be in the Guinness World of Records for being the longest procession of Lantern Parade for this Mid-Autumn Festival. Some joggers are on the competitive list for the 5 & 10 km respectively.
There were vintage cars, followed by taxis (2 different companies using compressed natural gas), the Lamborghinis (Gallardo, Superleggera, Murcierllargo) and Lotus.
Our Harley Convoy came in much later and was made to ride all over before coming in. I was watching with glee..., seeing the convoy being moved around to the exasperations of the riders. Since I was the early bird, I also had a good hearty breakfast provided on the starting point and by the time the convoy came in, I am filled.
The Lamborghinis owners were proudly revving up their engines (sound) to our delight until fellow rider of Night Rod Louis started his bike and showed what a sound he has on his CFR finely tuned pipe. It beats all and as quickly, the owners of the Lamborghinis stopped their engines. Wow! That's what I loved about.

We were then ushered in as the front line convoy with lots of sound wanted and we didn't fail them especially with Louis' pipe. After coming out, I left the convoy to be with family and time for Sunday Mass... LORD bless!
Annual General Meeting cum Dinner & Dance 2008
The AGM started with a round island ride from HDS at 3.00pm on a Saturday (12/9) and landed at the Zoological Gardens (Lodge) at about 4.00pm. It was a very well chosen place amidst the thick foliage with lots of fauna and flora. We were made very welcome by the staff which I appreciated very much.
We got our Tony Goldman as Director and assisted by Barney Philips. I had tried proposing Colin Hughes when I came to understand that Chris Wesley is stepping down but Colin turned down my proposal.
After AGM, it was a short break for the Zoo staff to rearrange the Lodge to a Dinner & Dance setting. We had a live band fronted by all Caucasions which I personally think is most appropriate and sutiable. The buffet was good, wine and beer free-flow, music was inline with HOG's functions and great fun catching ups with other riders. The Zoo also threw in a good show. HDS new GM Dorothy was inspiring besides being sporting. I am always lucky on the lucky draws. Paid $50.oo for the D&D and got every single cents back on the lucky draw besides the many souvenirs.
Ended the night late, hoping to be readied for the next morning event..., the Swing KPE ride!

KPE Swing & Opening Rehearsal Ride
JoKiNg & friends
Harley Davidson riders (1st to vehicular group to be in the KPE) - front row 5th-JoKiNgIt's a Saturday(6/9/2008). Harley Davidson bike owners are invited by the organising committee of the "KPE Swing & Opening Ride" to grace the occasion and today there is a briefing and a partial rehearsal. Besides us, only vintage car owners, top-end car owners like Lotus, Lamborghinis are invited beside the taxis....... well !!!
We met as usual at HDS and rode off from there to the Tampines Rd and moved into the newly completed KPE (longest in South East Asia if not Asia). There was a slight drizzle but the atmosphere of being there was "if I have to explain, you'll never understand". We were the first to ride the length of KPE and briefed by officials for the actual day "swing & opening" flagged of by none other than our President Nathan himself. Be there and be an owner of a HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTOR CYCLE as the saying goes..., the last biker on this Earth will be riding a Harley !!! Cheers
