ATTENTION TO MPOTD READERS!!
Apparently in it's infinite wisdom, Google Robots have incorrectly guessed that my Motorcycle Picture of the Day Blog is a spam blog and locked it down. Restoration period is supposed to take a few days. Please be patient. We'll be back up shortly.

PROTON SAGA BLM MIVEC INJECTION ENGINE
Actually aku sendiri geram tengok video ni, sebab aku geram dengan enjin Mivec yang dimasukkan ke dalam Proton Saga BLM ni. Ini bermakna kereta Proton Saga anda diluar sana juga boleh disuntik dengan enjin Mivec ni. Boleh lihat video yang aku jumpa dalam Youtube, hasil kerja kru2 dari Terato. Enjoy and kalau ada apa2 boleh komen...THANKS!

2011: For Auld Lang Syne
A new year has arrived; time to sing the songs and remember those who won't be able to celebrate it. The classic is Burn's poem, which people sing without knowing the words or the meanings.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp !
- For auld lang syne, my jo,
- for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
and surely I’ll be mine !
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
Chris Hutt's death is was sad for all of us, here we see him talking to the recumbent riders at the CTC stall in the car-free Corn Street day on Sept 2009. That should have been a warning sign there and then.
At his funeral, he was pulled by family and friends, while others cycled behind him.
We've covered this already [1, 2, 3] -it was a fitting memorial to the man.
However, it's been quieter since then. Less stroppy emails. Less troublemakers upsetting the establishment. Something needs to be done.
Which is why we suspect that Chris would have been delighted by the new Cycling Embassy of Great Britain, created to bring mainstream european cycling infrastructure to the country. Accordingly, we in the Bristol Traffic Project have contacted the embassy to denounce them, and given them our hotline contact details so if they need to be denounced again, or have their invalid assumptions corrected, we can do it more rapidly and directly.But Chris was not the only death this year, and one of the saddening things in our server logs is people searching for details abou t the sixteen-year-old Junaid Nazir's death on Fishponds Road; searching for answers. There's no answers we can give them, which saddens us all.
Crap Cycling in Waltham Forest, our London correspondents, celebrated the new year with a posting that includes the Sid Vicious version of My Way -lovely! We're going to mourn the past year with a video tribute to Junaid Nazir. Bleak, but his family and friends will never forget him, neither should the rest of the city.
- For auld lang syne, my jo,
- for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
New Year: New Rules
This might be my last column here. I just got an email from someone in Egypt, Ahcmed, who will send me $2 million and all I have to do is keep it and write a check back to him for half of it when he gets to the United States. If I'm a millionaire in the making I won't need to mess with this writing thing. Oh yeah, plus I also need to buy a ticket for him to get here but that's nothing for a rich guy like me. I'll not go into the awful thing that happened to his camel herd.
In case this doesn't work out, I've decided that I need to tidy up my act for 2011 with a form of resolutions list for this farmer.
When I was a kid, we got to stay up until midnight on New Years Eve. We looked forward to it. Nothing could be better. Then as a young adult, I did stay up until the clock struck 12. As I began to age I couldn't stay awake that long. As time progressed, midnight seemed quite the insurmountable objective. Perhaps a useless goal. Now, midnight is about the time we begin thinking about getting up. As nearly as I can tell, in a few years, a celebration beginning at midnight will be easy once again. Only then we'll be frying eggs and bacon for the party.
Now for some things that need changing…
I'll try to never ever again buy a bin floor, attachment or assembly of any kind that uses the words "sometimes it might be necessary," "some field cutting will be required," or my favorite, "If for any reason you have trouble with this product do not return it to the store where you purchased it." They always fail to add the words "You're on your own, baby." They instead want you to deal with their factory, which just happens to be in China.
I will no longer purchase products with instructions that will require approximately two days of leaning against my pickup and staring at papers trying to figure out where slot B and hole hh are and what country the dude was from who wrote these words.
I resolve to not be surprised by the first snow fall. After 60 years on this earth you'd think I would learn that it snows in the winter around these parts, so get ready for it.
I also resolve to never again try to run a heavy duty five-gallon can of gasoline through my snow blower. Let's just say I was lucky.
I resolve to quit reading labels on products like shampoo and body lotion. I've found that volumizing shampoo doesn't (I suppose there's little to be done with just a few strands of hair.) and why use a body lotion that promises to "relax my skin." Isn't that the problem to start with? We need skin that's at least just a little tense. Mine's kicked back in a "skin recliner" mode.
I resolve to find a machinery dealer whose shop manager hasn't looked up the credit balance left on my Farm Plan account and then tried to find enough work on my combine to somehow use it all up.
I hereby resolve to not pay $500 for a bag of seed corn. At least not yet.
I will fight the urge to put a $30,000 automatic steering system on my $15,000 tractor. But I could use the sleep. I'm worried though about the Missouri River that is at the end of one of my fields and not waking up to turn the rig around in time.
A Happy New Year to one and all. May your next year always be better than the last. And lastly, I think it best to align yourself with the man who said he had resolved many years ago never to make New Years Resolutions. He said that so far, that was the one resolution he'd been able to keep.
