Dahon Speed P8

Lately , I got myself a bike , a Dahon Speed P8.

due to difference of price , I brought it back all the way from Taiwan.

This is how it looks like : Before & After

Specification for Speed P8 :

Frame: 4130 Cromoly frame with Sonus (triangulated cross section) down tube, integrated head tube and forged frame hinge. Height adjustable Radius Telescoping stem with revised latching system

Drivetrain: Sram X7 rear derailleur, Sram 3.0 index grip shifter, 11-32T 8 speed cassette, Sugino crank 52T ring with resin ring guard. Chain catch clip to prevent chain jump to the inside.

Brakes: Kinetix V brakes and Avid V levers

Wheels: Kinetix Comp double walled rims in black. 20H front radial lacing, 28H rear, radial non drive side, 2x drive side. Schwalbe Big Apple 20 x 2.0 tires Kevlar belted 65psi.

Others: Wider BioLogic saddle with Biologic seatpost with built in air pump. Ritchey handlebar. Resin folding pedal. Kickstand. Magnetic frame clip system.

After 2 weeks of riding ,

I found out the seat is not comfortable for me , planning to upgrade it to Selle Royal , an Italian manufacturer of bicycle saddle.

Speed P8 is good for short , medium distance travel , not advisable for long distance.

Got this P8 because it's considerably faster bike in Dahon's lineup , I got no trouble with it so far.

Shifting gear via a grip shift on the right handle,

turning forward for lower gears and back for higher gears.

For a moment

Think of having a spontaneous trip to the nearest country ,

Some said Bangkok , some said Phuket , and also Singapore.

Sing jia po sing jia po ,

Gave me a lot of thoughts ,

To go or not to go , the choice is mine , but I couldn't make a decision.

For the age of 20 , maybe you think that I'm still young , I denied.

Too many things that I concerned about ,

My dream , my family , my friends , and the one I loved.

Knew it will be a tough decision for me again , clearing 2 years of bond ,

It's bout time for me to flee from the trap.

I'm gonna leave my sober here , buried it nine feets under.

Splash me with holy water , free my soul.

Follow the flow , take a risk , and loop over !

What a FRIEND to you ?

Friend with benefits ?

Friend with hot chick ?

Friend with $$ ?

What are they ?

FRIEND's acronym delivers everything.

Few

Relation

In

Earth

Never

Die

To me , Friends mean everything.

They conquer my life ,

They hold me on when I'm in a deep shit ,

They scold me when I did something wrong.

And they taught me what's life.

Too many things to talk about.

Sometimes , I maybe too bias.

I treat my friends better than my soul-mate.

Somehow , I managed to tell her what's her to me , and what FRIENDS to me.

Recently , I became so emotional , not because of job matters but FRIENDS again.

All of my bunch of friends are leaving one after another ,

Too little time for me to talk to them , how much they meant to me.

I tried to hold back my tear when I bid farewell , I failed.

I know , they will come back someday , someday.

Life's goes on , it's bout time to step out for brighter future.

Everyone is looking forward to pursue their dreams.

And now , I wanna talk about you , Benny Teo.

A friend that I can put my faith on ,

A friend that I can sacrifice everything ,

A friend that I will lend you my shoulder when you're down.

My life without you , I guess I'm nobody now.

Just some words to you , BENNY.

No matter what happened to you there , just bear with it.

Stand for your own right as they do.

I know you will feel sad , leaving to US ,

We will be with you , Always.

Stay strong BROTHER !

Gotta miss you lots !

THANK YOU FOR ACCOMPANYING ME THROUGHOUT SO MANY YEARS.

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR !

TAKE CARE !
