TAGGING : The Making of My Very First - Act 3

So Manan left me & my brother at Idris' workshop coz he had unfinished bike repair to attend. Manan did mentioned to me that Idris is like a "loose-canon" type of person... (that's even advance than living dangerous life).

Idris asked me questions about speed...how's my riding? Do I ever had accidents? What's my fastest speed that I've experince & on what bike? What's my fastest speed when taking corners at highway flyover entry & exit, and with what bike?
I replied... Ok I guess but not so great as you. Never had accident in my life. Fastest speed was 200km/h on a Kawasaki Serpico 150R. Fastest entry corner was 90km/h (Serpico), exit corner 90km/h (Serpico too). Then he replied... Not bad...not bad for an amateur...

He asked again, "What do you want me to do with this RG bike?" I wanted it to reached whatever maximum speed that shows on the speedometer (160km/h) or maybe a little more speed, just by using this standard RG exhaust sound. He replied that RG engine is the most advance small engine 2-stroke at that time. He pointed to a black RG & asked me, "Wanna know how fast is that RG? It can go up to 230km/h. Wanna know how much is the cost? RM10,000 only for a basic series production spec racing bike. Why that much price? Coz I've to import the parts from overseas".

"Err.. Yeop.. I don't want that sort or price, just standard modified but powerful enuf to sometimes 'pinch' other bigger bikes".
