Happy Birthday to Me

My MHR silver helmet jammed up on my birthday, 29 Feb 2016. Yayy... this happened when I was otw to visit a vendor to collect some items. Lucky I was able to remove the helmet without opening the visor.

Went over to Sentul and bought a new Givi helmet, allegedly 100% original. Cost RM400 and another 6% GST. Total damage RM424. New Givi helmet is lighter, has an internal black visor, more air ventilation, feels more snug (closer to the face), and classier.

Apparently repairing the jammed helmet is not worth it, unless the helmet costs RM1k and above. Just the workmanship would cost RM100++.

Oh well, happy birthday to me.

Box it in!

Gave in and bought a Givi box today. Been stuck in the rain one too many times. Went for at least 2 meetings drenched wet. So during my 3,000 km service, installed a Givi bracket and E33 box. Bought a substantially better Givi raincoat and paid RM508 for the entire bill :`(












I was afraid it was going to look ugly, but it doesn't look THAT ugly. Just reasonably bad. Its not a huge box, and only fits one full face. But it will store my raincoat, water + gel, rain slippers/shoes.
