LOL.
shoelaces too can make you jatuh bodoh.
after one close call with shoe lace, whenever i ride (and cycle), i will tuck in the shoe laces.

oh yeah, i jatuh bodoh before due to disc brake lock. Lupa
lifting up a 220kg bike was crazy.
after this incident i started using the reminder cable.

you look familar. LOL.
think i've seen you before on the road.

Loud as not as MotoGP straight pipe loud la.

Loud enough to be noticed, but not a nuisance yet.

But I noticed jpj polis have double standard towards big bikes. Lol.

Yes. Pandai .Slip on.

I use this bike to commute to work. So cannot be having a full system. I'll go deaf. Lol

Malu feeling.

Park head in or back in, I'll look at the gradient first.
It's not easy to push out or gostan a 220kg bike on a slight slope down. Kena one time before. Lol.

The reminder cable works just fine .

i thought i saw you around Ampang on your katana.

your fuel tank size of 12liter is really sucks! hahaha!

my 17liter tank can bring me around 18km/liter if i'm heavy on the throttle. If not it will be better.

if only Suzuki retain this pop up headlights...it will be more legend

Next time buy shad.
No ragrets.

Didn't take notice of your helmet.
Was only interested in your bike. Hahahaha.

Don't worry about looks
I have two shad side boxes on my z1000. Looks cool actually.

Don't worry
Get used to it. No problem
I use my bike as a mode of transport to work. Filter through the traffic jam. 99% no issues.
All you need to learn is to balance your bike at almost stand still. Learn this and you will be steady when lane filter. At times you will need to go to almost standstill to squeeze through especially when some car drivers purposely close the gap and refuse to give way. Or those shit drivers who doesn't know how to stop inline with other cars during traffic jam

Just take your helmet along wherever you go
I've been doing this for the past 30 years plus.

And I don't dare to leave it there either, my helmets are not cheap.

No
To look at the traffic behind you on the bar end mirrors, you have to take your eyes totally off from the traffic in front as you will need to look down. Dangerous.

There is a reason why original mirrors are at the shoulder/chest level.

Upper side or under side of the handlebar. Not much difference.

You really OCD until this level?

I'm been riding since the 90s and this is the first round I come across a rider with such concern. Lol

Here my suggestion.
Get a set of this pps, anti contamination suit. 100% safe.
I'm sure there are a lot of left overs in the stores after the COVID lockdown.

Ditch those worries and thoughts
Just tell yourself that there are other more critical things for you to worry about. When you are riding, are you safety conscious? Do you wear safety gears?
Or you just worry about hygiene matters?

I've been riding since the early 90s.
All I can advise you is, If you want to ride, forget about small matters such as hygiene. It's better you worry more about safety.
