Saving the best for last 😍😍😍
Here with Taiwan's hottest biker chicks Cynthia Wang and 王晨飄, both proud owners of a Ducati 959 Panigale and Aprilia RSV4!!
Staying warm together in the 14°C chilly weather with some really good hot chocolate and talking about everything under the sun, before catching the last flight back home to Singapore! 😀

Woke up at 3:00am to catch the train from Alishan to Zhu Shan to catch the sunrise. It was pretty cold at 5 deg. Too bad it was a little cloudy but still a breathtaking sight to behold.
Thankfully tho, we were just in time for the Alishan Flower Season where we saw lots of pretty cherry blossoms, so incredibly beautiful as we slowly make our way down the mountain from Alishan and on towards Tai Chung!

From Kenting, we happily thought that Day 4 of our ride to Alishan mountain will take us just 4 hours via the Freeway.
Turns out, it ended up as my first time involved in a high speed chase here in Taiwan because we were on the Freeway towards Chiayi where motorcycles are actually not allowed on.
Best part was I had no clue the police was chasing with his loud speaker on behind as I was happily throttling off on the Freeway, taking photos, and listening to my favourite "That's What I Like" Bruno Mars song until the rear view of my friends were replaced with a BMW with red/blue blinker lights right behind me 😂
On a serious note, I would like to genuinely apologize for my route mistake, and would like to take this opportunity to commend the police officer who stopped us as he exercised so much grace, understanding and hospitality toward us that left us speechless. He carefully explained the road rules for motorcycles here in Taiwan, and showed us the right route to take to Alishan.
He even left his phone number before wishing us a safe and enjoyable journey as we continued our way up over 2,000m above sea level to Alishan Mountain with nothing but smiles in our helmet and a thankful heart!
Full details will be up on the blog.

From the Northernmost part of Taiwan to the Southernmost, after doing more than 500km of both mountain and coastal roads, we are finally soaking up some sun here at Kenting on Day 3 of our ride!
The beach here is gorgeous, the weather is perfect, a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Taking it all in, falling asleep to the sound of the gentle waves, before we prepare ourselves for the ascend of up to more than 2,000metres in altitude for the next day's ride, to Alishan!

Cloudy on the second day of our ride but at least it stopped raining! Exploring the magnificent Taroko Gorge, riding alongside an abundance of all that natural marble and gushing river before making our way down South to Kenting! The Hawaii of Taiwan 😀
--
First day of our ride saw 7 straight hours of rain as we made our way from Taipei to Hualien. The coastal roads were beautiful as it overlooked the gorgeous Pacific Ocean, but before that was carefully getting through more than 100km of slippery mountain corners.
My arms got so tired from gripping the bars too tightly because I tend to tense up from the phobia of skidding off sharp corners especically when the roads are wet :/
Gloves are completely damped and it's gonna feel oh so gross stuffing my hands into them for the next day's ride! 😂
Let's hope the weather improves for the second day of our ride!

aprilia 750 shiver 在 [心得] aprilia shiver 750 GT - 看板SuperBike - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
終於在最近考到大型機車駕照
領照當天馬上跟著朋友租車兜風
這次租的車種有
shiver750GT
FZ1n
cbr600f
MT09
小弟主要是騎shiver750
其餘在路程中的小時段
我們會交換的騎
先來說說shiver的感謝
v雙的馬力其實有點像是
小單缸的感覺
起步需要含點油門
才不會有不舒服的抖動
轉速約3000~4000轉
或是6000~8000轉之間換檔
最為舒服
4000~5500轉之間反而會有
異常抖動
時速在100~180之間加速絲毫不
拖泥帶水
車身也夠穩定
但是!!T模式油門反應略顯緩慢
S模式超好玩!!
會說好玩主要是油門靈敏
配上v缸特性低轉充足的扭力
真的很爽
但由於小魯習慣過彎維持轉速在4000~5000轉，尷尬的情況就出現了
油門稍微鬆一點!!會抖動!!
油門稍微多一點!!會爆衝!!
注意力大部份被放在控制油門
而不是瞄準出灣路線
還有就是原廠前剎偏硬
過彎時速目前最高80還是夠用
但是平路騎起來久了有點痛苦
還有傾角部分
就算磨到腳踏，胎邊還是有約1公分的距離
可以說保持一定的安全傾角
也可以說成腳踏在稍微後移一點會更完美
因為過灣時一直有還可以更下傾的感覺，但卻一直碰到腳踏……
其餘如cbr600f
就……非常好騎……騎一下就膩了，哈
FZ1n個人是覺得除了拉高轉有爽度
其餘重量、引擎熱度
都不是普通的重跟熱
車高更不是小魯１７３這半殘身高能夠輕鬆駕馭
０９倒是深深的吸引我
車高不錯
引擎熱度也還可以忍受
馬力也夠心臟小顆的人騎乘
頓挫感覺，也許三缸的關係
沒有v雙來的大
所以灣中油門弧度可以稍微大一點點
換檔也比較舒適一點
但外型實在不優
不知道有沒有人可以推薦一些適合我騎的車種或是車
四缸低轉扭力嚴重不足
完全不是我的菜
目前預計八月還會再租一次
不僅跟大家分享考照的喜悅
也打上租車感想，希望能幫助在考慮
或是想租的人
也希望大家能否依照以上騎乘喜好
推薦一些下次我可以嘗試的車種。
